Answer:
171 newspapers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:

How many newspapers should the newsstand operator order to ensure that he runs short on no more than 20% of days
The number of newspapers must be on the 100-20 = 80th percentile. So this value if X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8. So X when Z = 0.84.




So 171 newspapers.
The solution to this equation is: x<7
The transformations that can occur to the graph of the function y = cos x that will exhibit changes would be changes to the angle, or changes to the coefficient. The transformations can be viewed as follows:
y = cos x transforms to y = cos (kx)
k > 1 ; a horizontal shrink occurs
0 < k < 1 ; a horizontal stretch occurs
y = cos x transforms to y = A cos x
|A| > 1 ; a vertical stretch occurs
|A| < 1 ; a vertical shrink occurs
First, lets convert them into multipliers:
The multiplier for a:
25% increase = 1.25
40% decrease = 0.6
40% increase = 1.4
Now to work out the overall percentage change, we just times all of the multipliers together, and convert it back to a percentage:
1.25 x 0.6 x 1.4 = 1.05
So the overall multiplier is 1.05
And a multiplier of 1.05 = a <u>5% increase</u>.
That means that the percentage change is + 5%
