Consider two people where one person is 20​% taller than the other but proportioned in exactly the same way.​ (That is, the tall

er person looks like a larger version of the shorter​ person.) Suppose the shorter person has a 36​-inch waist. What size is the taller​ person's waist?

Answer:

43.2in

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two people are equally proportional, then knowing the size of the waist of one of them, we gonna we be able to know the other's wais size, by the relation.

36in*(1*20%) = 36in*1.2 = 43.2in

<u>Answer:</u>

The taller person's waist size is 43.2 inches

<u>Solution:</u>

As given in the question, if 2 people are equal in proportion, then the taller person has 20% taller or larger waist than the smaller person in any given dimension. This means that, the taller person’s waist would be 120 % of the smaller person.

Hence, we multiply 1.2 (120%) with 36 inches (waist size of shorter person) which gives the waist size of the taller person as 43.2 inches.

36\times (1.2) = 43.2 inches.

The heights of students at a college are normally distributed with a mean of 175 cm and a standard deviation of 6 cm. One might
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 175cm

Standard deviation = 6 cm

Percentage of students below 163 cm

163 = 175 - 2*6

So 163 is two standard deviations below the mean.

By the Empirical rule, 95% of the heights are within 2 standard deviations of the mean. The other 100-95 = 5% are more than 2 standard deviations of the mean. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, 2.5% of them are more than 2 standard deviations below the mean(so below 163cm) and 2.5% are more than two standard deviations above the mean.

2.5% of the students have heights less than 163cm.

Out of 1000

0.025*1000 = 25

25 is the answer

The random variable X, representing the number of cherries in a cherry puff, has the following probability distribution:x: 4 - 5
marta [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is the probability distribution of a random variable X

X 4 5 6 7 Total

P 0.2 0.4 0.3 0.1 1

x*p 0.8 2 1.8 0.7 5.3

x^2*p 3.2 10 10.8 4.9 28.9

a) E(X) = Mean of X = sum of xp = 5.3

Var(x) = 28.9-5.3^2=0.81

Std dev = square root of variance = 0.9

------------------------------------

b) For sample mean we have

Mean = 5.3

Variance = var(x)/n = \frac{0.81}{{36} } \\=0.0225

c) P(\bar X

Sandra wants to rent a car to take a trip and has a budget of $90. There is a fixed rental fee of $30 and a daily fee of $10. Wr
nikdorinn [45]

Option B is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given,

Maximum budget Sandra has for the trip is $90

Fixed rental fee = $30

Daily fee = $10

Step 2 :

Let x be the number of the days for which Sandra can go for the trip

If the daily fee is $10, the cost for x number of days would be 10*x

the fixed fee is $30

So the equation is represent the cost of the trip is 30 + 10 x

given that the maximum budget is $90, the above cost should always be less $90

So the required inequality is 30 + 10x ≤ 90

Option B is the correct answer
