The distribution of waist circumferences of US adult men randomly selected for a research study was approximately normal with mean \mu = 94μ=94mu, equals, 94 centimeters and standard deviation \sigma = 11σ=11sigma, equals, 11 centimeters. A clothing store that specializes in serving larger men aims to sell clothing that will fit men with the top 35\%35%35, percent of waist circumferences.
What is the minimum waist circumference of men whom the store aims to serve?

i think it would be 42cm

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.

3xy cannot be combined with the others

2x, -5x and x are like terms
