the average starting salary for this year's graduates at a large university (lu) is $55,000 with a standard deviation of $6,000.

furthermore, it is known that the starting salaries are normally distributed. individuals with starting salaries of less than $39,600 receive a low income tax break. what percentage of the graduates will receive the tax break?

0.84% of the graduates will receive the tax break

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean  and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = x - μ / σ

Z-scores are used to measure how far a measure is from the mean. We find the p-value associated with this Z-score by looking at the z-score table after finding the Z-score. The p-value represents the probability that the measure is smaller than X, which is the percentile of X. The probability of the measure being greater than X is calculated by subtracting 1 from the pvalue.

μ = $55,000 σ = $6,000

This is the pvalue of Z when X = $39,600. So

z = 39600 - 55000 / 6000

z = -2.5

z = -2.5 has a o value of 0.0084

0.84% of the graduates will receive the tax break.

An experiment consists of dealing 7 cards from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. What is the probability of being dealt exact
In-s [12.5K]

Answer: 0.00153

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: An experiment consists of dealing 7 cards from a standard deck of 52 playing cards.

Number of ways of dealing 7 cards from 52 cards = ^{52}C_7

Since there are 13 clubs and 13 spades.

Number of ways of getting exactly 4 clubs and 3 spades=^{13}C_4\times\ ^{13}C_3

Now, the probability of being dealt exactly 4 clubs and 3 spades

=\dfrac{^{13}C_4\times\ ^{13}C_3}{^{52}C_7}\\\\\\=\dfrac{{\dfrac{13!}{4!(9!)}\times\dfrac{13!}{3!10!}}}{\dfrac{52!}{7!45!}}\\\\=\dfrac{715\times286}{133784560}\\\\=0.00152850224271\approx0.00153

Hence,  the probability of being dealt exactly 4 clubs and 3 spades = 0.00153

The length of a rectangle is 3 times its width. The perimeter is 39. Find the length and width of the rectangle.​
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Let width of rectangle be x cm.

3x+x+3x+x=39

8x=39

x=39÷8

=39/8

=4/7/8

3x=39/8×3

=117/8

=14/5/8

Hence, length=14/5/8cm while width=4/7/8cm.

A line has an y-intercept of 4 and a x-intercept of 1. Use this information to write a function in slope intercept form (y = mx
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:  D.  y = -4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the y-intercept is when x is zero and the x intercept is when y is 0.

and to write in the equation in slope intercept form , you will need the slope and the intercept.

We will use the y and x intercepts to find the slope, by find the difference in their y coordinates and dividing it by the difference in their x coordinates.

y intercept: ( 0,4)  

x intercept: (1,0)

y coordinates difference:  4 - 0 = 4

x coordinates difference:  0 - 1 = - 1  

Slope:  4/-1 =  -4  

Since the slope is -4 and the the y intercept is 4 , the equation will be

 y = -4x + 4
