2. The heights of horses who compete in the Melbourne Derby are

normally distributed with a mean of 66 inches and a standard

deviation of 3 inches.

(a) If a horse is randomly selected from this race, what height

would you expect it to be?

(b) What percentage of horses who compete in the Melbourne

Derby have heights between 60 and 72 inches?

(c) In a particular year there are 25 horses running in the

Melbourne Derby. How many of these would you expect

to have a height of less than 63 inches?

66 inches ;

95.44 ;

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Normal distribution with;

Mean(m) = 66 inches

Standard deviation (s) = 3 inches

A.) If a horse is chosen at random, Expected height will be equal to the mean of the distribution = 66 inches

B.) percentage horses who are between 60 and 72 inches

Zscore = ( x - m) / s

x = 60

Zscore = (60 - 66) / 3

Zscore = - 6/3

= - 2

P(Z < - 2) = 0.0228

Zscore = ( x - m) / s

x = 72

Zscore = (72 - 66) / 3

Zscore = 6/3

= 2

P(Z < 2). = 0.9772

Between 60 and 72

0.9772 - 0.0228 = 95.44

c) In a particular year there are 25 horses running in the Melbourne Derby. How many of these would you expect to have a height of less than 63 inches?

Zscore = ( x - m) / s

x = 63

Zscore = (63 - 66) / 3

Zscore = - 3/3

= - 1

P(Z < - 1) = 0.1587

0.1587 * 25 = 3. 967 = 4

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:

∠cbe and ∠deb are same-side interior angles.
