Answer:

Number of 12$ Shares? 25

Number of 14$ Shares? 57

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of $12 shares.

Let y = number of $14 shares.

"Ivan has $1098 worth of $12 and $14 stock shares."
12x + 14y = 1098

The number of $14 shares is seven more than twice the number of $12 shares.

y = 2x + 7

We have a system of equations.

12x + 14y = 1098

y = 2x + 7

We can use the substitution method since the second equation is already solved for y. Substitute 2x + 7 for y in the first equation.

12x + 14(2x + 7) = 1098

12x + 28x + 98 = 1098

40x = 1000

x = 25

There are 25 $12 shares.

y = 2x + 7 = 2(25) + 7 = 57

There are 57 $14 shares.

Check:

25 × $12 + 57 × $1`4 = $300 + $798 = $1098

The total value is correct, so the answer is correct.

If the distribution is really N ( 5.43 , 0.54 ) , N(5.43,0.54), what proportion of observations would be less than 5.05 ? 5.05?

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

$P(X$

And we can use the following excel code to find the answer: "=NORM.DIST(-0.704,0,1,TRUE)"

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest for a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(5.43,0.54)$

Where $\mu=5.43$ and $\sigma=0.54$

We are interested on this probability

$P(X$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(X$

And we can find this probability on this way:

$P(Z$

And we can use the following excel code to find the answer: "=NORM.DIST(-0.704,0,1,TRUE)"

G. The shape would be similar since dilation at the origin is just a translation and a translation doesn't affect the shape's size or shape.

h. They will still be similar because adding length to each side will just make the shape larger, and if the shape hasn't changed (which it hasn't) it will remain similar.

I. This is simple, just write an equation of the changes you could do the shape and it would be similar. You would have to explain how many you should move and from which sides (should be all sides). It is better for you to do this because there are millions of possible equations, and if you use the same one then it might be striked.
