Reasoning Skill: This question requires the ability to apply statistical concepts, specifically the properties of a normal distribution, to solve a problem. The correct answer involves using the z-score formula and a z-table or calculator to find the mean longevity. The incorrect answers (A, B, and C) represent common mistakes, such as misinterpreting the given information or incorrectly applying the z-score formula.

Analysis: The question provides the standard deviation (14 years) and the percentage of people living longer than 75 years (30%). To find the mean longevity, we need to use the z-score formula: z = (X - μ) / σ, where X is the given value (75 years), μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation. We also need to find the z-score corresponding to 30% of the distribution, which is approximately 0.5244. Then, we can rearrange the z-score formula to solve for μ: μ = X - zσ. Plugging in the values, we get μ = 75 - 0.5244(14), which is the correct answer (D).

This question requires the ability to evaluate scientific evidence by applying statistical concepts to solve a problem. It also requires critical thinking to avoid common mistakes and to correctly interpret the given information.

To determine the mean longevity (μ) given that 30% of people live longer than 75 years under a normal distribution with σ = 14, we use z-scores. Since 30% are above 75, 70% are below it. The z-score corresponding to the 70th percentile (area = 0.7 to the left) is approximately **0.5244**. Using the formula:

\[
z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} \implies \mu = X - z \cdot \sigma
\]

Substitute \( X = 75 \), \( z = 0.5244 \), and \( \sigma = 14 \):

\[
\mu = 75 - 0.5244 \cdot 14
\]

This matches **option D**, making it the correct answer.

gpto1 To solve the problem, we'll use properties of the normal distribution.

Given:
- Standard deviation, \(\sigma = 14\) years
- We need to find the mean, \(\mu\)
- We know that 30% of the people live longer than 75 years, so \(P(X > 75) = 0.30\)
- Therefore, \(P(X \leq 75) = 1 - 0.30 = 0.70\)

First, find the z-score corresponding to the 70th percentile (\(P(Z \leq z) = 0.70\)):

Using standard normal distribution tables or a calculator:
\(z \approx 0.5244\)

Next, set up the z-score formula for the value 75:
\[ z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} \]
\[ 0.5244 = \frac{75 - \mu}{14} \]

Solve for \(\mu\):
\[ 75 - \mu = 0.5244 \times 14 \]
\[ \mu = 75 - 0.5244 \times 14 \]

Thus, the mean longevity is:
\[ \mu = 75 - 0.5244(14) \]

GPT-4o To determine the mean longevity, we need to use the properties of the normal distribution. We know that 30% of the population lives longer than 75 years, which means that 70% of the population lives 75 years or less.

In a standard normal distribution table (z-table), a value corresponding to the cumulative probability of 0.70 is approximately 0.5244. This z-score tells us how many standard deviations away from the mean our value (75 years) is.

The formula connecting the z-score, mean (μ), standard deviation (σ), and the observed value (X) is:

\[ z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} \]

Rearranging to solve for the mean (μ):

\[ \mu = X - z\sigma \]

Plugging in the values:

\[ \mu = 75 - 0.5244(14) \]

So, the correct answer is:

D. 75 - 0.5244(14)

In a normal distribution, we use the z-score. For 30% living longer than 75 years, the corresponding z-score is approximately 0.5244. The formula for finding the mean (μ) is x = μ + zσ, where x is the given value (75), z is the z-score, and σ is the standard deviation. Rearranging gives μ = x - zσ = 75 - 0.5244(14).

minimax To solve this problem, we need to use the properties of the normal distribution. We are given that 30% of the people live longer than 75 years. This means that 75 years is the 70th percentile of the distribution (since 100% - 30% = 70%).

We can use the z-score formula to find the mean longevity. The z-score formula is:

\[ z = \frac{(X - \mu)}{\sigma} \]

where \( X \) is the value from the normal distribution, \( \mu \) is the mean, and \( \sigma \) is the standard deviation.

We need to find the z-score that corresponds to the 70th percentile. We can look this up in a standard normal distribution table or use a calculator that provides the inverse cumulative distribution function for the normal distribution.

The z-score corresponding to the 70th percentile is approximately 0.5244 (this value can vary slightly depending on the source of the z-table or the precision of the calculator).

Now we can set up the equation:

\[ 0.5244 = \frac{(75 - \mu)}{14} \]

Solving for \( \mu \):

\[ \mu = 75 - 0.5244(14) \]

This corresponds to option D.

In a normal distribution, the mean (μ) is the center of the distribution. The standard deviation (σ) measures the spread of the data. The question states that 30% of the people live longer than 75 years, which is equivalent to saying that 70% of the people live less than or equal to 75 years (since 100% - 30% = 70%).

In a normal distribution, the value that separates the lower 70% from the upper 30% is not the mean but rather 0.3 standard deviations above the mean. This is because the mean is the point that separates the lower 50% from the upper 50%. To find the mean, we need to adjust the value of 75 years by the difference between the mean and the point that separates the lower 70% from the upper 30%.

The z-score for the 70th percentile is approximately -0.5244 (since it's below the mean). To find the mean, we can use the formula:

Mean = Value - (z-score * standard deviation)

Plugging in the values we have:

Mean = 75 - (-0.5244 * 14)

Mean = 75 - (-7.3416)

Mean = 75 + 7.3416

Mean = 82.3416

However, this calculation does not match any of the options provided, which suggests there might be a misunderstanding in the question or the options given. The options seem to be attempting to calculate the mean based on the value that separates the lower 30% from the upper 70%, which would be the 84th percentile in a normal distribution, not the 70th.

If we assume the question meant to ask for the value that separates the lower 30% from the upper 70%, then we would use the z-score for the 30th percentile, which is approximately -0.5244. This would give us:

Mean = 75 - (-0.5244 * 14)

Mean = 75 + 7.3416

Mean = 82.3416

But since this is not an option, and assuming the question is asking for the mean based on the 70th percentile, the closest option to our calculation would be D, which is:

Mean = 75 - (0.5244 * 14)

Mean = 75 - 7.3416

Mean = 67.6584

This is the calculation for the mean based on the 70th percentile, but it's important to note that the question as stated is not entirely clear. If the question is asking for the mean based on the 70th percentile, then the correct answer would be D. If the question is asking for the mean based on the 30th percentile, then none of the options are correct.

Explanation:

In a normal distribution, the mean (μ) is the midpoint of the distribution, and the standard deviation (σ) measures how spread out the distribution is. In this question, we know that the standard deviation (σ) is 14 years.

We also know that 30% of the people live longer than 75 years. This means that 70% of the people live at or below 75 years. In a normal distribution, the percentage of data points below a certain value corresponds to a z-score. The z-score is calculated as (x - μ) / σ, where x is the observed value, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

To find the z-score that corresponds to 70%, we can use a z-score table or a calculator. The z-score that corresponds to 70% (or 0.7) is approximately 0.5244.

Now we can set up an equation to solve for the mean (μ):

(75 - μ) / 14 = 0.5244

Solving this equation for μ, we get:

μ = 75 - 0.5244(14)

This is the mean longevity of people living in the locality.

zhipu To solve this problem, we need to use the properties of the normal distribution and the z-score table.

Given:
- Standard deviation (σ) = 14 years
- 30% of the people live longer than 75 years

We need to find the mean (μ).

1. **Determine the z-score corresponding to the 30th percentile:**
- Since 30% of the people live longer than 75 years, 70% of the people live less than 75 years.
- Using the standard normal distribution table, we find the z-score that corresponds to the 70th percentile (0.70).
- The z-score for 0.70 is approximately 0.5244.

2. **Use the z-score formula to find the mean:**
- The z-score formula is \( z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} \)
- Rearranging the formula to solve for the mean (μ), we get \( \mu = X - z\sigma \)
- Here, \( X = 75 \), \( z = 0.5244 \), and \( \sigma = 14 \)

3. **Calculate the mean:**
- \( \mu = 75 - 0.5244 \times 14 \)
- \( \mu = 75 - 7.3416 \)
- \( \mu \approx 67.6584 \)

The correct option is:
D. 75 - 0.5244(14)

So, the answer is:

- Standard deviation, \(\sigma = 14\) years
- We need to find the mean, \(\mu\)
- We know that 30% of the people live longer than 75 years, so \(P(X > 75) = 0.30\)
- Therefore, \(P(X \leq 75) = 1 - 0.30 = 0.70\)

First, find the z-score corresponding to the 70th percentile (\(P(Z \leq z) = 0.70\)):

Using standard normal distribution tables or a calculator:
\(z \approx 0.5244\)

Next, set up the z-score formula for the value 75:
\[ z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} \]
\[ 0.5244 = \frac{75 - \mu}{14} \]

Solve for \(\mu\):
\[ 75 - \mu = 0.5244 \times 14 \]
\[ \mu = 75 - 0.5244 \times 14 \]

Thus, the mean longevity is:
\[ \mu = 75 - 0.5244(14) \]

deepseekv3 To solve this problem, we need to find the mean longevity given that 30% of the people live longer than 75 years, and the standard deviation is 14 years. Since the life spans are normally distributed, we can use the properties of the normal distribution to find the mean.

### Step 1: Understand the problem
- We know that 30% of the people live longer than 75 years. This means that the probability \( P(X > 75) = 0.30 \).
- The standard deviation \( \sigma = 14 \) years.
- We need to find the mean \( \mu \).

### Step 2: Use the standard normal distribution
First, we convert the value 75 to a z-score using the formula:
\[
z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}
\]
We need to find the z-score corresponding to the 70th percentile (since \( P(X > 75) = 0.30 \), \( P(X < 75) = 0.70 \)) in the standard normal distribution table.

From the standard normal table, the z-score corresponding to a cumulative probability of 0.70 is approximately \( z = 0.5244 \).

### Step 3: Solve for the mean \( \mu \)
Using the z-score formula:
\[
z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}
\]
We can rearrange this to solve for \( \mu \):
\[
\mu = X - z \sigma
\]
Substitute the known values:
\[
\mu = 75 - 0.5244 \times 14
\]

### Step 4: Choose the correct answer
The correct formula for the mean \( \mu \) is:
\[
\mu = 75 - 0.5244(14)
\]
This corresponds to option D.

### Final Answer:
**D**
