5. The mean height of Engineering students in a certain university is 164 centimeters
and the standard deviation is 10 centimeters. Assuming the heights are normally
distributed, what percent of the heights is greater than 168 centimeters?
A company makes electrical resistors. The perfect resistor has a value of 400 ohms. A sample of 2000 resistors was tested and found to have a mean of 391.5 ohms and a standard deviation of 22.5 ohms. Assuming a normal distribution:a. How many resistors in the sample will have more than 440 ohms of resistance?b. How many resistors in the sample will have less than 360 ohms of resistance?
note: you can use the frequency distribution table picture I attached.

- 1) Graph 1: plot t on the abscissa versus y on the ordinate and (artistically) draw a smooth line through the points. The line need not actually go through each data point. 2) Graph 2: plot t^2 on the abscissa versus y on the ordinate and then perform a linear regression. Remember to plot both the raw data points and the line of best fit (with the two points used to draw it); also show the regression equation and r value on the graph. 3) On graph (1), what does the slope of the line tell you about the velocity of the ball? Be thorough! 4) On graph 2: a) What does the slope of the line tell you about the acceleration of the ball?
