Answer: 68% of light bulbs last between 1765 hours and 1835 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule states that for a normal distribution, nearly all of the data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean . The empirical rule is further illustrated below

68% of data falls within the first standard deviation from the mean.

95% fall within two standard deviations.

99.7% fall within three standard deviations.

From the information given, the mean is 1800 hours and the standard deviation is 35 hours.

1 standard deviation = 1 × 35 = 35

1800 - 35 = 1765 hours

1800 + 35 = 1835 hours

Therefore, 68% of light bulbs last between 1765 hours and 1835 hours.

You have 250,000 In an IRA at the time you retire.You have the option of investing this money in two funds.Fund A pays 1.2% annu
krok68 [10]

Let x be the amount of money, you fund in Fund A and y be the amount of mone yyou fund in Fund B.

1. You have 250,000 In an IRA at the time you retire and want to invest this money into Funds A and B, then

x+y=250,000.

2. Fund A pays 1.2% (as a decimal 1.2% is 0.012) annually, then x\cdot 0.012=0.012x is annual interest income in Fund A.

Fund B pays 6.2% (as a decimal 6.2% is 0.062) annually, then y\cdot 0.062=0.062y is annual interest income in Fund B.

Since Fund A and Fund B produce an annual interest income of $8,000, then

0.012x+0.062y=8,000.

3. Solve the system of equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+y=250,000\\0.012x+0.062y=8,000.\end{array}\right.

Express x from first equation x=250,000-y and substitute it into the second equation

0.012(250,000-y)+0.062y=8,000.

Multiply this equation by 1000:

12(250,000-y)+62y=8000,000,\\ \\3000,000-12y+62y=8000,000,\\ \\62y-12y=8000,000-3000,000,\\ \\50y=5000,000,\\ \\y=100,000

Then

x=250,000-100,000=150,000.

Answer: you have to fund $150,000 in Fund A and $100,000 in Fund B.

Jabes travelled 3406km in 8days. if he travelled the same distance every day, how many kilometers did he travel per day?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Jabes travels 425.75km per day.

Unit rate is the amount of a certain item related to a single unit of another item.

In the question, we are given that Jabes traveled 3406km in 8 days

We have to find the distances that Jabes travel per day which will be the unit rate of distance per day.

The total distance that jabes traveled in 8 days = 3406 km

Thus, the distance per day jabes traveled can be calculated as:

8 days ⇒3406 km

or, 1 day⇒ 3406/8days = 425.75km

Thus,jabes traveled 425.75 km per day, using the unit rate.
