The heights of students at a college are normally distributed with a mean of 175 cm and a standard deviation of 6 cm. One might expect in a sample of 1000 students that the number of students with heights less than 163 cm is:

Using the normal distribution, it is found that the number of students with heights less than 163 cm should be expected to be of 23.

In a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

It 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, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

Mean of 175 cm, thus $\mu = 175$ .Standard deviation of 6 cm, thus $\sigma = 6$ .

The proportion with heights less than 163 cm is the p-value of Z when X = 163, thus:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{163 - 175}{6}$

Z = -2

Z = -2 has a p-value of 0.023.

Out of 1000 students:

0.023 x 1000 = 23

The number of students with heights less than 163 cm should be expected to be of 23.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the heights of students at a college are normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = heights of students

µ = mean height

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 175 cm

σ = 6 cm

The probability that the height of a student is less than 163 cm is expressed as

P(x < 163)

For x = 163

z = (163 - 175)/6 = - 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.023

Therefore, the expected number of students with heights lesser than 163 cm is

1000 × 0.023 = 23 students

answer: the answer is (b) amie should have multiplied

$54~\textup{m}^3~\textup{by}~\dfrac{4}{3}\pi.$

step-by-step explanation: given a sphere and a cylinder with same radius and height.

let, 'r' be the radius of the cylinder and sphere and 'h' be the height of the cylinder. according to the question,

r = h.

now, the volume of the sphere will be

$v_s=\pi r^2h=\pi r^3,$

and the volume of the cylinder will be

$v_c=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3=54~\textup{m}^3.$

therefore, we have

$v_c=\dfrac{4}{3}v_s=\dfrac{4}{3}\times 54=72~\textup{m}^3.$

thus, ammie should have multiplied the volume of the sphere $54~\textup{m}^3~\textup{by}~\dfrac{4}{3}\pi.$
