Heights of certain plants at a nursery are normally distributed with a mean of 45.3 centimeters and a standard deviation of 6.6 centimeters. If their z-scores are greater than 1.75, the plants are displayed in the main lobby. To the nearest centimeter, what is the minimum required height for this type of plant to be displayed in the main lobby? 49 cm 50 cm 56 cm 57 cm
@DanJS
z=X−μσ Plugging the given values into the above equation, we get: 1.75=X−45.36.6 Now you need to solve to find the value of X.
Hint: Z=(X−μ)/σ
i got 49 cm
:0
@Pamela16 I don't get the same number as you, would you like to check?
give me a second
i keep getting 49 or 56
Why 49 or 56? Did your calculator give you two numbers? lol
Use Google I Mmm an if it helps
Mean
\(\large 1.75=\frac{X-45.3}{6.6}\) \(\large 1.75\times 6.6=X-45.3\) \(\large (1.75\times 6.6) + 45.3=X\)
i got 56.85
And if you round it, what do you get?
57
Itry again
So which choice do you take?
Remmber another 5 and up goes up and then 4 and down goes down
d.57
Correct! \(\color{blue}{\Large\checkmark}{Way~to~go!}\)
????nvm
how about this one In a standard normal distribution, above which z-score do approximately 63% of the data lie? (Points : 4) 1.79 0.33 -0.33 -1.79
Which one do you think is your answer
im not really sure
Take a guess
-0.33?
Okay
correct?
Holdon I dont its right @mathmate
Ok, let's see! @Pamela16 |dw:1420503518536:dw|
|dw:1420503553596:dw| Since normal distribution tables refer to percentage of data to the left, and question says 63% above (to the right), we need the % below (to the left).
0.33?
