The number of apples sold at your store on a given day has a bell-shaped normal distribution with a median of 300 apples and a v

ariance of 2500 squared apples. What percentage of days do you expect to sell between 250 and 400 apples? Give your answer as a percent but leave out the % sign.

Answer:

The percentage of days that could be expected for the sale of the apples to be between 250 and 400 is 83.85.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of apples sold at the store on a given day has a bell shaped normal distribution.

The median of the distribution is given as 300 apples.

The median would represent the mean in a normal distribution,

\mu = 300 apples

In a normal distribution the mean is equal to the median.

The variance is given as \sigma^2 = 2500

Therefore the standard deviation of the distribution can be found by taking the root of variance.

The standard deviation can be found by  = \sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2} = \sqrt{2500} = 50 apples.

It is required to find the percentage of days when the store will sell between 250 and 300 apples.

Therefore we have to find the probability of the number of apples being sold is between 250 and 400 apples.

Let the number of apples being sold be X.

Therefore to find the probability by using the Z variable.

Therefore to find the probability we have to find  p( 250 < X < 400).

The Z value is given by Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z_{ (X = 250)} = \frac{250 - 300}{50}  = -1

Z_{ (X = 400)} = \frac{400 - 300}{50}  = 2

∴ p(( 250 < X < 400)

= p(-1 < Z < 2)

= p(Z<2) - p(Z<-1)      

   

=  0.9972 -  0.1587 .... using the Z - tables we can find the probability

                                             values

=  0.8385

To get percentage of days we simply multiply the probability by 100.

Therefore the percentage of days that could be expected for the sale of the apples to be between 250 and 400 is = 0.8385 × 100 = 83.85

I need to know the area
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

67.5 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

We can break this problem down in two parts: The upper triangle and the lower trapezoid.

The upper triangle:

Use the formula \frac{1}{2} (b)(h) to compute the area of the triangle. Base = 10 and Height = 7.

1/2 (10)(7)

1/2 (70)

=35 units².

The lower trapezoid:

Use the formula \frac{1}{2}(base_{1} + base_{2}) (height) to compute the area of the trapezoid. Base 1 = 10, Base 2 = 3 and Height = 5.

1/2 (10 + 3)(5)

1/2 (13)(5)

1/2 (65)

=32.5 units²

So, add the two areas of each shape:

35 + 32.5 = 67.5 units².

Alan is building a garden shaped like a rectangle with a semicircle attached to one short side. If he has 70 feet of fencing to
viktelen [127]

The dimension that would give the maximum area is 20.8569

<h3>How to solve for the maximum area</h3>

Let the shorter side be = x

Perimeter of the semi-circle is πx

Twice the Length of the longer side

[70-(\pi )x -x]

Length = [70-(1+\pi )x]/2

Total area =

area of rectangle + area of the semi-circle.

Total area =

x[[70-(1+\pi )x]/2] + [(\pi )(x/2)^2]/2

When we square it we would have

70x +[(\pi /4)-(1+\pi)]x^2

This gives

70x - [3.3562]x^2

From here we divide by 2

35x - 1.6781x^2

The maximum side would be at

x = 35/2*1.6781

This gives us 20.8569

Do you know what the answer is to this question
RUDIKE [14]
Use subsiution]
y=-3x+5
subsitute -3x+5 for y in second equation
5x-4(-3x+5)=-3
distribute
5x+12x-20=-3
add like terms
17x-20=-3
add 20 to both sides
17x=17
divide both sides by 17
x=1
now subsitute 1 for x
y=-3x+5
y=-3(1)+5
y=-3+5
y=2


x=1
y=2
