Answer:

The limit that 97.5% of the data points will be above is $912.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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:

\mu = 1500, \sigma = 300

Find the limit that 97.5% of the data points will be above.

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 1-0.975 = 0.025. So it is X when Z = -1.96.

So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-1.96 = \frac{X - 1500}{300}

X - 1500 = -1.96*300

X = 912

The limit that 97.5% of the data points will be above is $912.

What is the roots of the quadratic equation? 6x^2+5x-4=0
Rama09 [41]

x = \frac{1}{2} or x = - \frac{4}{3}

consider the factors of the product 6 × - 4 = - 24 which sum to the coefficient of the x- term ( + 5)

the factors are + 8 and - 3 ( split the middle term using these factors

6x² - 3x + 8x - 4 = 0 ( factor by grouping )

3x(2x - 1) + 4(2x - 1 ) ( take out common factor of (2x - 1) )

= (2x - 1)(3x + 4) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = \frac{1}{2}

3x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - \frac{4}{3}

A customer purchases 10 m dade co. florida 7.50% g.o. bonds at a 9.50 basis. how much interest will she collect each year? $75 $
crimeas [40]
In the value of bonds, the symbol "M" means "thousands.
Therefore, 10 M = 10,000$

So, the customer bought a coupon with 10,000$ and the expected annual interest is 7.5% of the coupon's value.

Calculating the value of interest is simple, just multiply the interest rate (7.5%) by the original value of the coupon to know how much interest she will collect each year.

Interest collected each year = (7.5 / 100) x 1000 = 750$

Which steps show how to use the distributive property to evaluate 6 times 49
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

294

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property for multiplication is as follows :

a(b+c) = ab + ac

We need to evaluate 6 times 49 i.e. 6(49).

We can write 49 as (50-1)

6(50-1) = 6(50+(-1))

Here, a = 6, b = 50 and c = -1

So,

6(50+(-1)) = 6(50) + 6(-1)

= 300-6

= 294

So, answer is 294. Option (A) is somehow correct.

Please help ASAP! What is the approximate circumference of the circle shown below?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

A. 56.52 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

Circumfrence= 2πr

r (radius) = 9 cm

C = 2πr

C = 2 x 3.14 x 9 cm

C = 6.28 x 9 cm

C = 56.52 cm

Circumfrence is 56.52 cm
