Three guys rent a hotel room for the night. When they get to the hotel they pay the $$\$30 $$ fee, then go up to their room. Soo

n the bellhop brings up their bags and gives the lawyers back $5 because the hotel was having a special discount that weekend. So the three lawyers decide to each keep one of the $5 dollars and to give the bellhop a $2 tip. However, when they sat down to tally up their expenses for the weekend the could not explain the following details:
Each one of them had originally paid $10 (towards the initial $30), then each got back $1 which meant that they each paid $9. Then they gave the bellhop a $2 tip. HOWEVER, 3 • $9 + $2 = $29

The guys couldn't figure out what happened to the other dollar. After all, the three paid out $30 but could only account for $29.

Can you determine what happened?

The men didn't pay $29 because they only payed $27.........$25 was for the room and $2 was for the tip to the bellhop

Explanation- The room was originally $30, but they got a $5 meaning they only payed $25 and then they payed the bellhop $2 which equals to $27

Help please? Suppose you have a normally distributed set of data pertaining to a standardized test. The mean score is 500 and th
Lina20 [59]
The formula to calculate the z-score of a certain value is:

z = (x - (mean))/(standard deviation)

In this example, the x-value is 450, the S.D. is 100, and the mean is 500.

So, substitute these values into the formula.

z = (450-(500))/100
z=-50/100
z=-0.5

Therefore, the z-score is -0.5.

-5/8(-3/8 minus one fourth)
Ne4ueva [31]

The value of  \frac{-5}{8} (\frac{-3}{8}-\frac{1}{4} )= 25/64

<h3>What is fraction?</h3>

A fraction simply tells us how many parts of a whole we have. You can recognize a fraction by the slash that is written between the two numbers.

\frac{-5}{8} (\frac{-3}{8}-\frac{1}{4} )

= -5/8 (-3/8 -2/8)

= -5/8 (-5/8)

= 25/64

Thus, \frac{-5}{8} (\frac{-3}{8}-\frac{1}{4} )= 25/64

(t-distribution) A manufacturing firm claims that the batteries used in laptop computers will last an average of 50 months. To m
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

There is an 38.21% probability that we find this lifespan for our sample average, or something even shorter.

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:

A manufacturing firm claims that the batteries used in laptop computers will last an average of 50 months. This means that \mu = 50.

We found that the sample had a average lifespan of 47.3 months, and a standard deviation of s = 9 months. What is the probability that we find this lifespan for our sample average, or something even shorter?

We have to find the pvalue of Z when X = 47.3.

We are working with a sample mean, so we use the standard deviation of the sample in the place of \sigma. That is s = 9

So

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

Z = \frac{47.3-50}{9}

Z = -0.3

Z = -0.3 has a pvalue of 0.3821.

There is an 38.21% probability that we find this lifespan for our sample average, or something even shorter.

Witch one is greater 21 ft or 17 yd
morpeh [17]
First, you want to find out how many feet in a yard

3ft=1yd

so you do 21/3 to get your yard, and the answer is 7 yard

17 yard is greater than 7 yard so 17 is the answer
