A survey found that women’s heights are normally distributed with mean 63.8 in and a standard deviation 2.3 in. A branch of the military requires women’s heights to be between 58 in and 80 in.a. Find the percentage of women meeting the height requirement. Are many women being denied the opportunity to join this branch of the military because they are too short or too tall?
b. If this branch of the military changes the height requirements so that all women are eligible except the shortest 1% and the tallest 2%, what are the new height requirements?

The percentage of women who meet the height requirement is %.

For the new height requirements, this branch of the military requires women’s heights to be at least in and at most __ in.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

a) 99.41% of women meeting the height requirement. There are not many women being denied the opportunity to join this branch of the military because they are too short or too tall.

b) The new requirement is between 58.441 in and 68.515 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = (X - \mu)/(\sigma)$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 63.8, \sigma = 2.3$

A branch of the military requires women’s heights to be between 58 in and 80 in.

a. Find the percentage of women meeting the height requirement. Are many women being denied the opportunity to join this branch of the military because they are too short or too tall?

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 80 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 58.

If the probability that a woman is accepted on the military is lower than 5%, we say that a woman being accepted into the military is unlikely.

X = 80

$Z = (X - \mu)/(\sigma)$

$Z = (80 - 63.8)/(2.3)$

$Z = 7.04$

$Z = 7.04$ has a pvalue of 1.

X = 58

$Z = (X - \mu)/(\sigma)$

$Z = (58 - 63.8)/(2.3)$

$Z = -2.52$

$Z = -2.52$ has a pvalue of 0.0059

So there is a 1-0.0059 = 0.9941 = 99.41% of women meeting the height requirement. There are not many women being denied the opportunity to join this branch of the military because they are too short or too tall.

b. If this branch of the military changes the height requirements so that all women are eligible except the shortest 1% and the tallest 2%, what are the new height requirements?

Tallest 2%: X when Z has a pvalue of 0.98. So X when $Z = 2.05$

$Z = (X - \mu)/(\sigma)$

$2.05 = (X - 63.8)/(2.3)$

$X - 63.8 = 2.3*2.05$

$X = 68.515$

Shortest 1%: X when Z has a pvalue of 0.01. So X when $Z = -2.33$

$Z = (X - \mu)/(\sigma)$

$-2.33 = (X - 63.8)/(2.3)$

$X - 63.8 = -2.33*2.3$

$X = 58.441$

The new requirement is between 58.441 in and 68.515 in.

Answer 2

Answer: Base on the questions, which is asking to many questions, ans the following would be the answers,
A. the women that fall between 58 and 80 inches tall would have a probability of 99.416%,
B. the new heights would 58,45 inches and 68,52 inches.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have questions and further clarifications

One gallon of gasoline in Buffalo, New York costs $2.29. In Toronto, Canada, one liter of gasoline costs $0.91. There are 3.8 liters in one gallon. How much does one gallon of gas cost in Toronto? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Is the cost of gas greater in Buffalo or in Toronto? How much greater?

Answers

Answer:

-To find the cost of one gallon of gas in Toronto, you have to multiply the cost of one liter of gasoline for 3.8 as you know that there are 3.8 liters in one gallon:

$0.91*3.8=$3.46

This means that a gallon of gas cost $3.46 in Toronto.

-$3.46-$2.29=$1.17

Considering that one gallon of gasoline cost $2.29 in Buffalo and $3.46 in Toronto, the cost is greater in Buffalo. The cost is greater by $1.17.

$800 deposited at 9% for 9 months, what is the simple interest and total amount?

Answers

9% of 800 is 72 and nine month would be $648. The total amount would be 1448.

ok so the formula to find simple interest over the amount of years is A=P(1+r times t ) so lets plug it in 800(1+(.0009 times 9))is equal to $806.48 cents per year for 9 years hoped this helped!!

Solve each pair of simultaneous equation only by substitution method
8x+3y=7
3x+5y= -9

Answers

x = 2, y = -3

8x + 3y = 7
3y = -8x + 7
y = -8/3x + 7/3

3x + 5y = -9
3x + 5(-8/3x + 7/3) = -9
3x - 40/3x + 35/3 = -9
9/3x - 40/3x + 35/3 = -27/3
-31/3x = -62/3
-31x = -62
x = 2

8(2) + 3y = 7
16 + 3y = 7
3y = -9
y = -3

Check
3(2) + 5(-3) = -9
6 - 15 = -9
-9 = -9 :)

Solve for x.

-15 = 22x + 7

Answers

we transport 7 to the other side and it changes sign and be -7
-15-7=22x
-22=22x
we divide both side by 22
therefore x=-1
