Answer:
2 6/25
Step-by-step explanation:
You basically need to set up a porporion:
1.6/2.4 = x/7.2
x=4.8
Answer:
And if we solve for a we got
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 that represent the hourly rates of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:
(a)
(b)
Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.
As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.80 of the area on the left and 0.20 of the area on the right it's z=0.842. On this case P(Z<0.842)=0.8 and P(z>0.842)=0.20
If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:
But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:
And if we solve for a we got
Marilyn's finance charge at the end of the first month will be
$991.38 × 0.199/12 = $16.44
The balance subject to the next month's finance charge will be
$991.38 +16.44 -410.00 = $597.82
The finance charge at the end of the second month will be
$597.82 × 0.199/12 = $9.91
The balance remaining after the second payment will be
$597.82 +9.91 -410.00 = $197.73
The finance charge applied at the end of the third month is
$197.73 × .199/12 = $3.28
so Marilyn can make one final payment of
$197.73 +3.28 = $201.01
to pay off the balance.
In all, Marilyn has paid 2×$410.00 +201.01 =
$1021.01 . . . . . . . . corresponds to the first choice_____
In real life, Marilyn's credit card may not accrue any finance charge until after the first statement on which the charge appears. Thus the total cost of the purchase may be only $1004.02. The attached spreadsheet shows the beginning balance and the finance charges for each month for the two different scenarios.
Hey there!
This linear equation is written in standard form, a form in which it's quite easy to find intercepts for one main reason. This reason revolves around zeros. When you see an x intercept, there's always a zero for the y, and when there's a y you see a zero for the x. Therefore, we can do this to get the intercepts.
For x:
2x-5(0) =10
2x = 10
x = (5,0)
For y:
2(0) -5y = 10
-5y=10
y= (0,-2)
Now, to find the slope, we can easily convert it to slope intercept form:
y = mx+b
Where m is the slope and b is he y intercept.
2x-5y=10
-5y=-2x+10
y = 2/5x-2
(notice how we divided both sides by -5)
Therefore, our slope is 2/5. Hope this helps!
