Answer:
And if we solve for a we got
So the value of height that separates the bottom 92% of data from the top 8% is 649.765.
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where and
For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:
(a)
(b)
Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.
As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.92 of the area on the left and 0.08 of the area on the right it's z=1.405. On this case P(Z<1.405)=0.92 and P(z>0.92)=0.08
If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:
But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:
And if we solve for a we got
So the value of height that separates the bottom 92% of data from the top 8% is 649.765.
Answer:
P(N)=0.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: P(M)= 0.46, P(M and N)=0.138
Using P(M) ×P(N)= P(M and N)
⇒0.46×P(N)= 0.138
⇒P(N)=
⇒P(N)=0.3
