Setting up equations using X = µ + zσ for these z-values, we have two equations: 45 = µ - 0.5σ and 64 = µ + 1.41σ. Solving these simultaneously gives the mean µ = 54.55 and standard deviation σ ≈ 19.
To find the height for the 99th percentile, we need the z-score corresponding to 0.99, which is approximately 2.33. Using the formula X = µ + zσ, we find X = 64.5 + 2.33 * 3.3 = 72.199 inches. Therefore, 99% of the students are below 72.199 inches.
The z-score for 12% is approximately -1.17, and for 85% is approximately 1.04. Using these z-scores with the formulas 30 = µ - 1.17σ and 60 = µ + 1.04σ, solving for µ and σ gives the mean µ = 44.67 and standard deviation σ ≈ 12.61.
First, calculate the z-scores for Rs. 140 and Rs. 144 using the formula z = (X - µ) / σ. For Rs. 140, z = (140 - 140) / 10 = 0. For Rs. 144, z = (144 - 140) / 10 = 0.4. Using the standard normal distribution table, the area under the curve to the left of z = 0 is 0.5 and for z = 0.4 is approximately 0.6554. The probability between Rs. 140 and Rs. 144 is 0.6554 - 0.5 = 0.1554, which translates to about 15.54% of the workers. Hence, approximately 155 workers are expected to earn between Rs. 140 and Rs. 144.
Calculate the z-score for 12.5 kg using the formula z = (X - µ) / σ. The z-score is (12.5 - 17) / 12 = -0.375. Using a standard normal distribution table, find the area to the left of z = -0.375 which is approximately 0.3531. Therefore, 35.31% of the plots yield less than 12.5 kg.
To find the threshold income for the top 1% (richest 100 out of 10,000), we look for a z-score corresponding to 0.99 in the standard normal distribution table, which is approximately 2.33. Using z = (X - µ) / σ, solving for X gives X = 2.33 * 50 + 750 = 866.5. Therefore, the lowest income among the richest 100 individuals is approximately Rs. 866.5.
First, convert 6 feet to inches (6 * 12 = 72 inches). Calculate the z-score for 72 inches: variance gives a standard deviation of √10.8 ≈ 3.285. The z-score is (72 - 68.22) / 3.285 ≈ 1.15. Look up the z-score of 1.15 in a standard normal distribution table to find its area as approximately 0.8749. The proportion of soldiers taller than 72 inches is 1 - 0.8749 = 0.1251, or 12.51%. Therefore, approximately 125 soldiers are expected to be over 6 feet tall.
Calculate the z-score for 12 months using z = (X - µ) / σ. The z-score is (12 - 8) / 2 = 2. Look up this z-score in the normal distribution table which provides an area of 0.9772. Therefore, the proportion of shoes lasting beyond 12 months is 1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228 or 2.28%. Applying this to 5000 pairs gives 0.0228 * 5000 ≈ 114 pairs expected to last beyond 12 months.
Calculate the z-score for 5.2 inches using z = (X - µ) / σ. The z-score is (5.2 - 5) / 0.1 = 2. Looking up a z-score of 2 in the standard normal distribution table gives an area of approximately 0.9772 to the left. Hence, the probability that a pipe will not fit (i.e., exceed 5.2 inches) is 1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228, or 2.28%.
To determine the number of candidates who secured first class, we first calculate the z-score for 60 marks. The z-score is (60 - 39.5) / 12.5 = 1.64. Looking up 1.64 in a standard normal distribution table, we find the area to the left of this z-score is approximately 0.9495. Therefore, the area to the right (representing those candidates scoring more than 60) is 1 - 0.9495 = 0.0505. Thus, approximately 5.05% of 5000 candidates scored 60 or more, which is roughly 252 candidates.
