The required equation is 135 + 9x > 250.

The number of lawns Ed must mow is assumed to be x.

The amount Ed charges for each lawn he mows is $9.

Thus, the total amount Ed earns by mowing x lawns = $9x.

The savings which Ed has is $135.

Thus, the total amount Ed will have to spend can be written as the expression, $(135 + 9x).

The cost of the video game is given to be $250.

We are asked to write an equation, that can be used to find the number of lawns Ed mow, that is x so that the amount Ed has will be more than the amount he needs to buy the video game.

This can be shown as the equation:

Total amount Ed has > Cost of the video game,

or, 135 + 9x > 250.

Thus, the required equation is 135 + 9x > 250.

xenn [34]

Answer:

(a) P(X > $57,000) = 0.0643

(b) P(X < $46,000) = 0.1423

(c) P(X > $40,000) = 0.0066

(d) P($45,000 < X < $54,000) = 0.6959

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that U.S. Bureau of Economic Statistics reports that the average annual salary in the metropolitan Boston area is $50,542.

Suppose annual salaries in the metropolitan Boston area are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $4,246.

Let X = annual salaries in the metropolitan Boston area

SO, X ~ Normal( $\mu=$50,542,\sigma^{2} = $4,246^{2}$ )

The z-score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = average annual salary in the Boston area = $50,542

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = $4,246

(a) Probability that the worker’s annual salary is more than $57,000 is given by = P(X > $57,000)

P(X > $57,000) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma }$ > $\frac{57,000-50,542}{4,246 }$ ) = P(Z > 1.52) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 1.52)

= 1 - 0.93574 = 0.0643

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.52 in the z table which gave an area of 0.93574.

(b) Probability that the worker’s annual salary is less than $46,000 is given by = P(X < $46,000)

P(X < $46,000) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma }$ < $\frac{46,000-50,542}{4,246 }$ ) = P(Z < -1.07) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 1.07)

= 1 - 0.85769 = 0.1423

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.07 in the z table which gave an area of 0.85769.

(c) Probability that the worker’s annual salary is more than $40,000 is given by = P(X > $40,000)

P(X > $40,000) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma }$ > $\frac{40,000-50,542}{4,246 }$ ) = P(Z > -2.48) = P(Z < 2.48)

= 1 - 0.99343 = 0.0066

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.48 in the z table which gave an area of 0.99343.

(d) Probability that the worker’s annual salary is between $45,000 and $54,000 is given by = P($45,000 < X < $54,000)

P($45,000 < X < $54,000) = P(X < $54,000) - P(X $\leq$ $45,000)

P(X < $54,000) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma }$ < $\frac{54,000-50,542}{4,246 }$ ) = P(Z < 0.81) = 0.79103

P(X $\leq$ $45,000) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma }$ $\leq$ $\frac{45,000-50,542}{4,246 }$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -1.31) = 1 - P(Z < 1.31)

= 1 - 0.90490 = 0.0951

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.81 and x = 1.31 in the z table which gave an area of 0.79103 and 0.9049 respectively.

Therefore, P($45,000 < X < $54,000) = 0.79103 - 0.0951 = 0.6959
