The average test score of RSM students in September increased by 10%. In October it increased by another 15%. By what percent di
1 answer:
Answer:
26.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Increasing Percentages</u>
When sequential percentages increasing are computed, each increase applies to the previous result, instead of the first quantity. That is why sometimes the final results may be confusing. For example, increasing 10% and then 15% will not be the same as increasing a total of 25%.
The average test scores of RSM students first increased by 10%. It means that some quantity C increased by
Now the average test scores are
A new increasing occurred by 15%, and the previous quantity must be multiplied by 1.15, so the final average test scores are
It means that the total increasing was

Answer:
0.0322; 0.9929
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the data is normally distributed, we use z scores for these probabilities.
The formula for a z score of a sample mean is
For the sample of mildly obese people, the mean, μ, is 371; the standard deviation, σ, is 65; and the sample size, n, is 6.
Using 420 for X,
z = (420-371)/(65÷√6) = 49/(65÷2.4495) = 49/26.5360 ≈ 1.85
Using a z table, we see that the area under the curve to the left of this is 0.9678. However, we want the area to the right, so we subtract from 1:
1-0.9678 = 0.0322
For the sample of lean people, the mean, μ, is 528; the standard deviation, σ, is 108; the sample size, n, is 6.
Using 420 for X, we have
z = (420-528)/(108÷√6) = -108/(108÷2.4495) = -108/44.0906 ≈ -2.45
Using a z table, we see that the area under the curve to the left of this is 0.0071. We want the area under the curve to the right, so we subtract from 1:
1-0.0071 = 0.9929
