Suppose the mean height for men is 70 inches with a standard deviation of 2 inches. What percentage of men are between 68 and 74 inches tall? Enter
the value of the percentage without the percent sign.

81.85.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

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

The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Suppose the mean height for men is 70 inches with a standard deviation of 2 inches.

This means that

What percentage of men are between 68 and 74 inches tall?

The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 74 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 68.

X = 74

has a p-value of 0.9772.

X = 68

has a p-value of 0.1587.

0.9772 - 0.1587 = 0.8185

0.8185*100% = 81.85%.

Thus the percentage is 81.85%, and the answer is 81.85.

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
