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

OpenStudy (bohotness):

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.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Hint: Z=(X−μ)/σ

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 49 cm

OpenStudy (bohotness):

:0

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@Pamela16 I don't get the same number as you, would you like to check?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give me a second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i keep getting 49 or 56

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Why 49 or 56? Did your calculator give you two numbers? lol

OpenStudy (bohotness):

Use Google I Mmm an if it helps

OpenStudy (bohotness):

Mean

OpenStudy (mathmate):

\(\large 1.75=\frac{X-45.3}{6.6}\) \(\large 1.75\times 6.6=X-45.3\) \(\large (1.75\times 6.6) + 45.3=X\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 56.85

OpenStudy (mathmate):

And if you round it, what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

57

OpenStudy (bohotness):

Itry again

OpenStudy (mathmate):

So which choice do you take?

OpenStudy (bohotness):

Remmber another 5 and up goes up and then 4 and down goes down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d.57

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Correct! \(\color{blue}{\Large\checkmark}{Way~to~go!}\)

OpenStudy (bohotness):

????nvm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (bohotness):

Which one do you think is your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not really sure

OpenStudy (bohotness):

Take a guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-0.33?

OpenStudy (bohotness):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct?

OpenStudy (bohotness):

Holdon I dont its right @mathmate

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Ok, let's see! @Pamela16 |dw:1420503518536:dw|

OpenStudy (mathmate):

|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).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.33?
