Question

To be considered abnormal height a 30 year old must be 1.2 feet below average or 1.2 feet above
average. If the average height is 5.1 feet, at what heights (in interval notation) would a 30 year old
be considered abnormal?
M

Answer 1

Answer:

The interval notation would be (-∞, 3.9 feet) ∪ (6.3 feet, ∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the lower and upper bounds are given, those very bounds extend to infinity in this case since there is no limit to the height which would be considered abnormal in this question. Using the lower bounds and upper bounds to construct an interval notation, we get the answer as shown above.

Hope this helped!
