In a recent study on world​ happiness, participants were asked to evaluate their current lives on a scale from 0 to​ 10, where 0

represents the worst possible life and 10 represents the best possible life. The mean response was 5.4, with a standard deviation of 2.3.
(a) What response represents the 86th percentile? (Round to two decimal places as needed).
​(b) What response represents the 55th ​percentile? (Round to two decimal places as needed).
​(c) What response represents the first ​quartile? (Round to two decimal places as needed).

The response that represents the 86th percentile is 7.884

The response that represents the 55th percentile is 5.69

The response that represents the first percentile 3.85

<h3 /><h3>How to solve for the 86th percentile</h3>

mean = 5.4

sd = 2.3

p(X>x) = 0.86

find the value of z using the NORMSINV function in excel with a probability of 0.86

z = 1.080

x = mean + sd*z

= 5.4 + 2.3 * 1.080

= 7.88

<h3>How  to solve for the 55th percentile</h3>

mean = 5.4

sd = 2.3

p(X>x) = 0.55

find the value of z using the NORMSINV function in excel with a probability of 0.55

z = 0.1257

x = mean + sd*z

= 5.4 + 2.3 * 0.1257

= 5.69

c. The first quartile is 25%

z = -0.6745

5.4 + 2.3 * -0.6745

= 5.4-1.551

= 3.85

A collection of 20 coins made up of only nickels, dimes, and quarters has a total value of $3.35. If the dimes were nickels, the
Kay [80]

Answer:  The required number of quarters in the collection is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a collection of 20 coins made up of only nickels, dimes and quarters has a total value of $3.35.

If the dimes were nickels, the nickels were quarters and the quarters were dimes, the collection of coins would have a total value of $2.75.

We are to find the number of quarters in the collection.

Let x, y and z represents the number of nickels, dimes and quarters respectively in the collection.

We will be using the following values of nickels, dimes and quarters in form of dollar :

1 nickel = $ 0.05,   1 dime = $ 0.10   and    1 quarter = $0.25.

Then, according to the given information, we have

x+y+z=20\\\\\Rightarrow x=20-y-z~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\0.05x+0.10y+0.25z=3.35\\\\\Rightarrow 5x+10y+25z=335\\\\\Rightarrow x+2y+5z=67~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)\\\\0.05y+0.25x+0.10z=2.75\\\\\Rightarrow 5y+25x+10z=275\\\\\Rightarrow y+2z+5x=55~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)

Substituting the value of x from equation (i) in equations (ii) and (iii), we have

(20-y-z)+2y+5z=67\\\\\Rightarrow y+4z=47\\\\\Rightarrow y=47-4z~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iv)

and

y+2z+5(20-y-z)=55\\\\\Rightarrow -4y-3z=-45\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{45-3z}{4}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(v)

Comparing the values of y from equations (iv) and (v), we get

47-4z=\dfrac{45-3z}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow 188-16z=45-3z\\\\\Rightarrow 16z-3z=188-45\\\\\Rightarrow 13z=143\\\\\Rightarrow z=\dfrac{143}{13}\\\\\Rightarrow z=11.

Thus, the required number of quarters in the collection is 11.

Please help im so lost Ty btw
klasskru [66]

Answer:

1) gradient  (00) (-2 4) = y2-y1 / 2-1 = 4/-2 = -2  m = -2/1  means = m = -2  (negative slope)   2)  gradient  y2-y1 / x2-x1 = 3-0 / 2-0  = 3/2 = (1 1/2)/1   m = 1 1/2  (positive slope) we use the formula y-values divided by the change in the x-values.    The equation of the gradient each goes like this 1) y = -2x   as y is at origin nothing else to add     The equation of the gradient each goes like this 2) y = 1  1/2x     The equation of the point formula  1) we take the y -y1 = m (x +x 1)  =  y-0 = -2x (x +0)  (as m = -2) y = -2(x +0)   and  The equation of the point formula  2)  y - 0 = m ( x +x1)     y - 0 = 1 1/2( x +0)  = y = 1 1/2( x +0)

The Kellys are saving up to go on a family vacation in 2 years. They invest $3200 into an account with an annual interest rate o
ryzh [129]

Answer:

$3,273.14

Step-by-step explanation:

-We first calculate the effective interest rate of 1.13% compounded daily:

i_m=(1+i/m)^m-1\\\\=(1+0.0113/365)^{365}-1\\\\=0.011363909

#Now, we calculate the compounded amount after 2 years using this rate:

A=P(1+i)^n\\\\=3200(1.011363909)^2\\\\\\=3273.14

Hence, the compounded amount after 2 years is $3,273.14
