Adult female height is normally distributed with a mean of 65.3 inches and a standard deviation of 2.32 inches. a) If an adult female is randomly selected, what is the probability that the adult female has a height less than 61.3 inches? Round your final answer to four decimal places

0.0423 is the probability that the adult female has a height less than 61.3 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 65.3 inches

Standard Deviation, σ = 2.32 inches

We are given that the distribution of adult female height is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

P(adult female has a height less than 61.3 inches)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

0.0423 is the probability that the adult female has a height less than 61.3 inches.

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
