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.

Answer from: ella3714

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

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring). so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2). that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3. it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent. you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.
