Tree heights: Cherry trees in a certain orchard have heights that are normally distributed with mean μ = 112 inches and standard deviation σ = 10 inches. Use the TI-84 PLUS calculator to answer the following. Round the answers to at least two decimals. (a) Find the 22nd percentile of the tree heights. (b) Find the 80th percentile of the tree heights. (c) Find the first quartile of the tree heights. (d) An agricultural scientist wants to study the tallest 1% of the trees to determine whether they have a certain gene that allows them to grow taller. To do this, she needs to study all the trees above a certain height. What height is this? Part: 0 / 40 of 4 Parts Complete Part 1 of 4 Find the 22nd percentile of the tree heights. The 22nd percentile of tree heights is inches.
Answer:
Explained below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X represents the tree heights.
It is provided that X follows a normal distribution with mean μ = 112 inches and standard deviation σ = 10 inches.
(a)
Compute the 22nd percentile of the tree heights as follows:
[tex]P(X<x)=0.22\\\\P(Z<z)=0.22[/tex]
The z-score for the corresponding probability is, z = -0.77.
Compute the value of x as follows:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\-0.77=\frac{x-112}{10}\\\\x=112-(0.77\times 10)\\\\x=104.3[/tex]
Thus, the 22nd percentile of the tree heights is 104.3 inches.
(b)
Compute the 80th percentile of the tree heights as follows:
[tex]P(X<x)=0.80\\\\P(Z<z)=0.80[/tex]
The z-score for the corresponding probability is, z = 0.84.
Compute the value of x as follows:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\0.84=\frac{x-112}{10}\\\\x=112+(0.84\times 10)\\\\x=120.4[/tex]
Thus, the 80th percentile of the tree heights is 120.4 inches.
(c)
Compute the first quartile of the tree heights as follows:
[tex]P(X<x)=0.25\\\\P(Z<z)=0.25[/tex]
The z-score for the corresponding probability is, z = -0.67.
Compute the value of x as follows:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\-0.67=\frac{x-112}{10}\\\\x=112-(0.67\times 10)\\\\x=113.3[/tex]
Thus, the first quartile of the tree heights is 113.3 inches.
(d)
The tallest 1% of the trees, i.e. P (X > x) = 0.01.
That is, P (X < x) = 0.99.
⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.99
The corresponding z-value is, z = 2.33.
Compute the value of x as follows:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\0.99=\frac{x-112}{10}\\\\x=112+(0.99\times 10)\\\\x=121.9[/tex]
Thus, the tallest 1% of the trees are more than 121.9 inches tall.

- 8c+7= -25
Section 3.2
Section 3.3
Section 9.3
Section 9.5
Section 9.6
Answer:
c = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for"c" in the following equation:
- 8 c + 7 = - 25
Subtract 7 from both sides:
- 8 c = - 25 - 7
combine like terms
- 8 c = -32
divide both sides by "-8" to isolate c on the left
c = - 32 / (-8)
c = 4

The width of the playing field is
(Type an integer or a decimal)
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L+W)
L is the length of the rectangle:
W is the width of the rectangle.
Given
Perimeter = 214feet
If the length is 41 ft longer than the width, then L = 41+W
Substitute L = 41+W into the formula:
P = 2(L+W)
214 = 2(41+W+W)
214 = 2(41+2W)
214 = 82+4W
4W = 214-82
4W = 132
W = 132/4
W = 33 feet
Since L = 41+W
L = 41+33
L = 74 feet
Hence the dimension of the field is 74ft by 33ft
The width of the playing field is 33feet
There are four different sets of objects shown in the answer choices. Select all of the sets of objects that could be modeled by perpendicular lines. Two roads that meet at an intersection. The top of a desk and the floor. A tree and its shadow on the ground. Two stars seen in the sky.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Select all of the object sets that could be modelled by perpendicular lines.
A perpendicular line is one that divides a 180 degrees line (or a straight line) into two; creating 90 degrees on one hand and 90 degrees on the other.
OPTIONS:
(A) APPLICABLE
Two roads that meet at an intersection can be modelled by perpendicular lines. Use the definition above as a yardstick.
(B) APPLICABLE
The top of the desk to the floor will represent the dividing line while the floor itself will be the 180° line.
(C) NOT APPLICABLE
A tree and its shadow on the ground will only form a right-angled triangle
(D) NOT APPLICABLE
Two stars seen in the sky cannot be modelled by perpendicular lines. They can only be modelled by a straight line; a line which extends from the first star to the other.

In Kennington, 25 legislators represent 500,000 people.
Kennington has 2,500,000 people. How much legislators do they need?
Please help, I repeat.
[tex]\huge\boxed{125.}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{-------------------------------------}[/tex]
Explanation...
So, 25 legislators represents 500,000 people.
We are trying to find how much legislators you need to represent 2,500,000.
500,000*5=2,500,000.
25*5=125.
Therefore, your answer is 125.
[tex]\boxed{-------------------------------------}[/tex]
Hope i helped!
[tex]\huge\boxed{Thanks,Plip.}[/tex]
Answer: 125
In Kennington, 25 legislators represent 500,000 people.
Find how many times 500,000 go into 2,500,000 people.
2,500,000 ÷ 500,000 = 5
Now, multiply 5 by 25, because each 500,000 people are represented by 25 legislators.
25 x 5 = 125.
Answer = 125.
Hope this helps you!

4.20. According to a report released by the National Center for Health Statistics, 51% of U.S. households has only cell phones (no land line). According to the FCC, nearly 70% of the U.S. households have high-speed Internet. Suppose of the U.S. households having only cell phones, 80% have high-speed Internet. A U.S household is randomly selected. a. What is the probability that the household has only cell phones and has high-speed Internet
Answer:
The probability that the household has only cell phones and has high-speed Internet is 0.408
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the event that represents U.S. households has only cell phones
Let B be the event that represents U.S. households have high-speed Internet.
We are given that 51% of U.S. households has only cell phones
P(A)=0.51
We are given that 70% of the U.S. households have high-speed Internet.
P(B)=0.7
We are given that U.S. households having only cell phones, 80% have high-speed Internet. A U.S household is randomly selected.
P(B|A)=0.8
[tex]\frac{P(A\capB)}{P(A)}=0.8\\P(A\capB)=0.8 \times P(A)\\P(A\capB)=0.8 \times 0.51\\P(A\capB)=0.408[/tex]
Hence the probability that the household has only cell phones and has high-speed Internet is 0.408

Use a number line to show the sum of 6+(-7) ?
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
When you make the number line, go to the middle then move left once. Then mark that " -1 " and you put the dot over that.
It's hard to explain how to write number lines.
Anyways, the problem equals -1 because 6-7 is negative 1. The + is there to confuse you.

Suppose a carpenter's ruler was marked in thirty-seconds. What would be the fraction and its decimal equivalent for the mark on the ruler between 29/32 and 30/32?
Answer:
the fraction and its decimal equivalent for the mark on the ruler
= 59/64 = 0.921875
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that;
A CARPENTER 's ruler is marked in thirty seconds
mark on the ruler between 29/32 and 30/32 is the average of the values
we know that average is the summation of all terms divided by the number of appearance of terms
so
= (29/32 + 30/32) / 2
= ((29 + 30) / 32) / 2
= (59 / 32) / 2
= 59 / 64
= 0.921875
therefore the fraction and its decimal equivalent for the mark on the ruler = 59/64 = 0.921875
