The relationship between the given pair of numbers by using the symbols

Answer to Problem 1RE
The relationship between the given pair of numbers is,
Explanation of Solution
Procedure used:
Mentally position the given numbers on the number line.
The leftmost number on the line is said to smaller number. If the smaller number appears first, use the symbol,
Comparison:
The given pair of numbers is
Mentally position the numbers
Now, it is clear that the number
Here, the larger number appears first.
Thus, use
Therefore, the relationship between the given pair of numbers is,

A random sample of 65 women in this age group is selected. What is the probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 64 inches? Assume σ = 2.68. The probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 64 inches is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)arrow_forward
- In a survey of a group of men, the heights in the 20-29 age group were normally distributed, with a mean of 69.6 inches and a standard deviation of 4.0 inches. A study participant is randomly selected. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. (a) Find the probability that a study participant has a height that is less than 68 inches. The probability that the study participant selected at random is less than 68 inches tall is 0.4.
