One number is 11 more than 3 times another number. Their sum is 75. Find the smaller number.

1 answer:

5 0

X = larger number, y = smaller number

x + y = 75
x = 3y + 11

3y + 11 + y = 75
4y + 11 = 75
4y = 75 - 11
4y = 64
y = 64/4
y = 16 <=== ur smaller number

x = 3y + 11
x = 3(16) + 11
x = 48 + 11
x = 59...ur larger number

Your friend has a z-table, and you don't. You ask your friend to look up the area in a tail on the left hand side of the normal

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

d. 0.4013

Step-by-step explanation:

Half of the area under the normal curve is found to the left of the midpoint, where z=0. For negative values of z, the area under the curve is less than half.

Area under a normal curve is always a positive value between 0 and 1, so will never be negative.

The only value that can be an area in a left-hand tail is 0.4013.

<em>Additional comment</em>

That value corresponds to z ≈ -0.25.
