The height of seaweed of all plants in a body of water are normally distributed with a mean of 10 cm and a standard deviation of

2 cm. Which length separates the lowest 30% of the means of the plant heights in a sampling distribution of sample size 15 from the highest 70%? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Use the z-table below:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest is:

X: height of seaweed.

X~N(μ;σ²)

μ= 10 cm

σ= 2 cm

You have to find the value of the variable X that separates the bottom 0.30 of the distribution from the top 0.70

P(X≤x)= 0.30

P(X≥x)= 0.70

Using the standard normal distribution you have to find the value of Z that separates the bottom 0.30 from the top 0.70 and then using the formula Z= (X-μ)/σ translate the Z value to the corresponding X value.

P(Z≤z)= 0.30

In the body of the table look for the probability of 0.30 and reach the margins to form the Z value. The mean of the distribution is "0" so below 50% of the distribution you'll find negative values.

z= -0.52

Now you have to clear the value of X:

Z= (X-μ)/σ

Z*σ= X-μ

X= (Z*σ)+μ

X= (-0.52*2)+10= 8.96

The value of seaweed height that divides the bottom 30%  from the top 70% is 8.96 cm

I hope this helps!

Alex777 [14]

Answer

14/15 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting our equation with parts separated

=1+215−15

Solving the fraction parts

2/15−15=?

Find the LCD of 2/15 and 1/5 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.

LCD = 15

2/15−3/15=−1/15

Combining the whole and fraction parts

1−1/15=14/15

Solution by Formulas

converting mixed numbers to fractions, our initial equation becomes,

17/15−15

Applying the fractions formula for subtraction,

=(17×5)−(1×15)15×5

=85−15/75

=70/75

Simplifying 70/75, the answer is

=14/15

A graph of a quadratic function y = f(x) is shown below.
spin [16.1K]

We are given a graph of a quadratic function y = f(x) .

We need to find the solution set of the given graph of a quadratic function .

<em>Note: Solution of a function the values of x-coordinates, where graph cut the x-axis.</em>

For the shown graph, we can see that parabola in the graph doesn't cut the x-axis at any point.

It cuts only y-axis.

Because solution of a graph is only the values of x-coordinates, where graph cut the x-axis. Therefore, there would not by any solution of the quadratic function y = f(x).

<h3>So, the correct option is 2nd option :∅.</h3>

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Answer: 14 feet. a. The Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the sides of a right angle. By plugging in the sides of the wall, and solving for c, you can find the answer. 10^2 + 10^2 = c^2

| 100 + 100 = c^2 | 200 = c^2 | c = sqrt 200 | c = 14. The other way to solve this would be using the trig functions. You know that the angle between the hypotenuse and the wall side is 45 degrees, so you can use Sine to determine the hypotenuse. Sine is equal to opposite over hypotenuse. Sin (45) = 10/h | Sin (45) * h = 10 | h = 10/Sin (45) | h = 14. Both of the methods result in 14.
