The heights of adult men in America are normally distributed, with a mean of 69.7 inches and a standard deviation of 2.66 inches. The heights of adult women in America are also normally distributed, but with a mean of 64.5 inches and a standard deviation of 2.54 inches. What percentage of men are SHORTER than 73 inches? Round to nearest tenth of a percent.

a) z_man = 2.18

b) 98.5% of men are shorter

c) z_woman = 2.60

e) a 5 ft 11" American woman is relatively taller than a 6 ft 3" American man because the percentage of women shorter than her is 99.5% while the percentage of men shorter than him is 98.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use: z-score = (x - μ)/σ

Convert the height to inches: x_man = 6 ft 3 in. = 6(12) + 3 = 75 in.

z_man = (75 - 69.2)/2.66 = 2.18  -->  from a z-table --> .9854(100) = 98.54%

Convert the height to inches: x_woman = 5 ft 11 in. = 5(12) + 11 = 71 in.

z_woman = (71 - 64.3)/2.58 = 2.60 --> from a z-table --> .9953(100) = 99.53%

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.

v = 1/3 a^2h

step-by-step explanation:

if the height is 57.7cm and the height of the slant edge is 18.2cm, then the volume is 1/3 a^2h.
