Answer: (a) Percentage of 25 year old men that are above 6 feet 2 inches is 11.5%.

              (b) Percentage of 25 year old men in the 6 footer club that are above 6 feet 5 inches are 2.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

                  Height (in inches) of a 25 year old man is a normal random variable with mean g=71 and variance o^{2} =6.25.

To find:  (a) What percentage of 25 year old men are 6 feet, 2 inches tall

               (b) What percentage of 25 year old men in the 6 footer club are over 6 feet. 5 inches.

Now,

(a) To calculate the percentage of men, we have to calculate the probability

P[Height of a 25 year old man is over 6 feet 2 inches]= P[X>74in]

                           P[X>74] = P[\frac{X-g}{o} > \frac{74-71}{2.5}]

                                         = P[Z > 1.2]

                                         = 1 - P[Z ≤ 1.2]

                                         = 1 - Ф (1.2)

                                         = 1 - 0.8849

                                         = 0.1151

Thus, percentage of 25 year old men that are above 6 feet 2 inches is 11.5%.

(b) P[Height of 25 year old man is above 6 feet 5 inches gives that he is above 6 feet] = P[X, 6ft 5in - X, 6ft]

     P[X > 6ft 5in I X > 6ft] = P[X > 77 I X > 72]

                                          = \frac{P[X > 77]}{P[ X > 72]}

                                          = \frac{P[\frac{X - g}{o}>\frac{77-71}{2.5}]  }{P[\frac{X-g}{o} >\frac{72-71}{2.5}] }

                                          = \frac{P[Z >2.4]}{P[Z>0.4]}

                                          =  \frac{1-P[Z\leq2.4] }{1-P[Z\leq0.4] }

                                          = \frac{1-0.9918}{1-0.6554}

                                          = \frac{0.0082}{0.3446}

                                          = 0.024

Thus, Percentage of 25 year old men in the 6 footer club that are above 6 feet 5 inches are 2.4%.

deff fn [24]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Ques 1)

                   g(x)=-12x+48

Ques 2)

                 g(x)=|3x|+4

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Ques 1)

We know that if a graph is stretched by a factor of a then the transformation if given by:

    f(x) → a f(x)

Also, we know that the translation of a function k units to the right or to the left is given by:

  f(x) →  f(x+k)

where if k>0 then the shift is k units to the left

and if k<0 then the shift is k units to the right.

Here the graph of f(x) ​is transformed into the graph of g(x) by a vertical stretch of 4 units and a translation of 4 units right.

This means that the function g(x) is given by:

g(x)=4f(x-4)\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=4(-3(x-4))\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=-12(x-4)\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=-12x+48

Ques 2)

We know that the transformation of the type:

  f(x) → f(x)+k

is a shift or translation of the function k units up or down depending on k.

If k>0 then the shift is k units up.

and if k<0 then the shift is k units down.

Here, The graph of the function f(x)=|3x| is translated 4 units up.

This means that the transformed function g(x) is given by:

                 g(x)=|3x|+4

Identify the segment bisector of JK
nordsb [41]

Answer:

A segment whose length is 9 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

A segment whose length is 9 units.

All we have is a bisection that divides equally segment JK in two parts. And M is the Midpoint what reassures us that JM=MK, so plugging in:

3x+15=8x+25

3x-8x=25-15

-5x=10

5x=-10

x=-2

JM=3(-2)+15 =9

MK=8(-2)+25=9

A circle is centered at the point -3 2 and passes through the point 1 and 5 the radius of the circle is blank units
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The radius of the circle is 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question,

centered point = (-3 , 2)

a point in the circle = (1,5)

To find the radius of circle we will use the circle equation

(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²,

with the centre being at the point (h, k) and the radius being r.

Plug values in the equation

(1 – (-3))² + (5 – 2)² = r²

(1+3)² + (3)² = r²

4² + 3² = r²

25 = r²

r = √25

r = 5
