I got D.
There's a few ways to solve it; I prefer using tables, but there are functions on a TI-84 that'll do it for you too. The logic here is, you have a standard normal distribution which means right away, the mean is 0 and the standard deviation is 1. This means you can use a Z table that helps you calculate the area beneath a normal curve for a range of values. Here, your two Z scores are -1.21 and .84. You might notice that this table doesn't account for negative values, but the cool thing about a normal distribution is that we can assume symmetry, so you can just look for 1.21 and call it good. The actual calculation here is:
1 - Z-score of 1.21 - Z-score .84 ... use the table or calculator
1 - .1131 - .2005 = .6864
Because this table calculates areas to the RIGHT of the mean, you have to play around with it a little to get the bit in the middle that your graph asks for. You subtract from 1 to make sure you're getting the area in the middle and not the area of the tails in this problem.
Answer: -21, -33, -45
Step-by-step explanation:
each next number is being subtracted by 12 so
If you call x the total value of the sales, the sale over 12,000 will be: g(x) = 12,000 - x.
And the commission is 4.1% of that = 0.041 * (12,000 - x) = 0.041 * g(x)
So, if f(x) = 0.041x, to calculate the commission you first have to calculate g(x) = 12,000 - x, and the f(g(x))=0.041[12,000 - x].
Which leads you to the solution for the commission as [f o g] (x) = f (g(x)) = 0.041 (12,000 - x).
Answer: [ f o g] (x)
Fractions and decimals are related in a very close way. Ways such as they are both representing a whole number.
for example
1/2 , 0.5 , 50%
all three numbers have the same value but are expressed in a different format. all three represent the same whole number.
another example would be
1/4 , 0.25 , 25%
hopefully this helped. and or makes sense.
LET ME KNOW :p
