10a- 4a= 6a 1) 6a+12
6xa= 6a 6x2=12 2) 6a+12

The expressions are equivalent. For the first sum, all you do is work out the total amount of a and what number is being added. However, on the second question, you have to expand the answer. I was taught a 'noddy method' to begin with. This should help.

10a-4a+12 6a = -12 a= -2 6(a+2) 6a + 12 6a = -12 a = -2

Answer:

$mu=12.1299$

$\sigma=1.2987$

Step-by-step explanation:

In the normal distribution curve, we will have 5% below 10 months [horizontal axis] and 75% below 13 months [horizontal axis].

We need to find z-score using z-table [normal table] that corresponds to

5% = 0.05

and

75% = 0.75

Zscore formula:

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

Where mu is mean and sigma is standard deviation [these are the 2 parameters we are seeking]

So, 0.05 corresponds to z = -1.64, and

0.75 corresponds to z = 0.67

Now we put both of these into z-score formula and solve both equations for mu and sigma.

$-1.64=\frac{10-\mu}{\sigma}$

and

$0.67=\frac{13-\mu}{\sigma}$

The first equation becomes:

$-1.64=\frac{10-\mu}{\sigma}\\-1.64\sigma+\mu=10\\mu=10+1.64\sigma\\$

Now, simplifying 2nd equation and putting this in:

$0.67=\frac{13-\mu}{\sigma}\\0.67\sigma=13-(10+1.64\sigma)\\0.67\sigma=13-10-1.64\sigma\\2.31\sigma=3\\\sigma=1.2987$

Now finding mu:

$\mu=10+1.64(1.2987)\\\mu=12.1299$

These two MU(mean) and SIGMA(standard deviation) are the 2 parameters.

drek231 [11]

Step-by-step explanation:

The red line in the graph above measures the median home price, and this is often a better "average" for us to be used with home prices and home values. Unfortunately, it is not as easy to calculate and it does not work well with tiny data sets, so we often only see it used with very large data sets (like whole Cities, States, etc.) produced by the large real estate aggregators. Additionally, not many real estate agents know how to generate them for neighborhoods or zip codes (but we can at the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog :)).
