a) 57.93% probability that her height is less than 64 in

b) 87.90% probability that they have a mean height less than 64 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using 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.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 63.5, \sigma = 2.5$

a. If 1 woman is randomly selected, find the probability that her height is less than 64 in.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 64.

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

$Z = \frac{64 - 63.5}{2.5}$

Z = 0.2

Z = 0.2 has a pvalue of 0.5793

57.93% probability that her height is less than 64 in

b. If 34 women are randomly selected, find the probability that they have a mean height less than 64 in.

Now we have $n = 34, s = \frac{2.5}{\sqrt{34}} = 0.4287$

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 64.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{64 - 63.5}{0.4287}$

Z = 1.17

Z = 1.17 has a pvalue of 0.8790

87.90% probability that they have a mean height less than 64 in.

17. given triangle rst as shown below. which two sides of the triangle are congruent to each other?

Answer from: Quest

answer would be 8.64 or s = 11π/4 inches

step-by-step explanation:

s = r θ

where s = arc length

r = radius = 3 inches

θ = central angle in radians = ( π /180)*165

s = 3(π/180)*165

= 8.64 inches
