Answer:

$189

Step-by-step explanation:

Let their total amount of spending money be x

given that $135 they spent is 5/7 of their total spending money,

mathematically:

135 = (5/7) x     (multiply both sides by 7)

135 (7) = 5x

945 = 5x

5x = 945  (divide both sides by 5)

x = 945 / 5

x = 189

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

1. 0.1635

2. 0.0026

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability in the following cases are as follows:

1.

Given that

Mean = 25 minutes

ANd, the standard deviation is 6.1 minutes

So here the z score would be

= (31 - 25) ÷(6.1)

= 0.98

Now the probability is

= P(Z>0.98)

= 0.1635

2. the z score would be

= (8 - 25) ÷(6.1)

= -2.79

Now the probability is

= P(Z<-2.79)

= 0.0026
