Assume that military aircraft use ejection seats designed for men weighing between 133.8 lb and 208.0 lb. If women’s weights are normally distributed with a mean of 172.6 lb and a standard deviation of 42.4 lb, what percentage of women have weights between the ejection seat’s weight limits (that is, 133.8 to 208.0 lb)? Enter your answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place (do not add a "%"); add a trailing zeros as needed. The percentage of women with weights between 133.8 and 208.0 lb is [EjectPct] percent.

61.8

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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.

In this question, we have that:

What percentage of women have weights between the ejection seat’s weight limits (that is, 133.8 to 208.0 lb)?

We have to find the pvalue of Z when X = 208 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 133.8 for the proportion. Then we multiply by 100 to find the percentage.

X = 208

has a pvalue of 0.798

X = 133.8

has a pvalue of 0.180

0.798 - 0.18 = 0.618

0.618*100 = 61.8%

Without the %, the answer is 61.8.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
