The distribution of waist circumferences of US adult men randomly selected for a research study was approximately normal with me

an \mu = 94μ=94mu, equals, 94 centimeters and standard deviation \sigma = 11σ=11sigma, equals, 11 centimeters. A clothing store that specializes in serving larger men aims to sell clothing that will fit men with the top 35\%35%35, percent of waist circumferences. What is the minimum waist circumference of men whom the store aims to serve? Round to the nearest whole centimeter.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

t=\frac{24-25}{\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{14}}}=-1.70    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=14-1=13  

The p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =P(t_{(13)}  

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=24 represent the mean height for the sample  

s=2.2 represent the sample standard deviation

n=14 sample size  

\mu_o =25 represent the value that we want to test

t would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value for the test

Hypothesis to verify

We want to cehck if the true mean is lees than 25 mph, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 25  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 25  

The statistic would be given by:

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

Replacing the info given we got:

t=\frac{24-25}{\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{14}}}=-1.70    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=14-1=13  

The p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =P(t_{(13)}

The mean yearly rainfall in Sydney, Australia, is about 134 mm and the standard deviation is about 66 mm ("Annual maximums of,"
svetlana [45]

Answer:

At least 202.44 mm in the top 15%.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

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

Z = \frac{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 question, we have that:

\mu = 134, \sigma = 66

How many yearly mm of rainfall would there be in the top 15%?

At least X mm.

X is the 100-15 = 85th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.85. So X when Z = 1.037.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.037 = \frac{X - 134}{66}

X - 134 = 66*1.037

X = 202.44

At least 202.44 mm in the top 15%.

Janice needs to re-shingle the roof of her house. One bundle of shingles costs $35.99 and covers 2.25 m2.
larisa [96]
To calculate the number of shingles, we first calculate for the total area of the roof of Janice's house. From the figure, we can calculate the area of the two shapes: pyramid and a rectangular prism.

A(pyramid) = lw+l√[(w/2)²+h²]+w√[(l/2)²+h²]
A = 208 m²
A(prism) = 2(wl+hl+hw)
A = 293 m²

Total area = 501 m²

Number of shingles she needs = 501 m² / 2.25 m² =<span> 223</span><span>

Jane invested £4000 for 3 years with an interest rate of 1.5%. What was her investment worth at the end of this period?
ddd [48]

Answer:

$4182.7

Step-by-step explanation:= 4000*(1.5%)*3

Year 1= 4000*(100%+1.5%)= 4060

Year 2= 4060*(100%+1.5%)= 4120.9

Year 3= 4120.9*(100%+1.5%)= 4182.7
