Answer:

z=-2.33

And if we solve for a we got

a=48000 -2.33*5500=35185

And for this case the answer would be 35185 the lowest 1% for the salary

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the salary, and for this case we can assume that the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(48000,5500)  

Where \mu=48000 and \sigma=5500

And we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.99   (a)

P(X   (b)

We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.01 of the area on the left and 0.99 of the area on the right it's z=-2.33. On this case P(Z<-2.33)=0.01 and P(z>-2.33)=0.99

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-2.33

And if we solve for a we got

a=48000 -2.33*5500=35185

And for this case the answer would be 35185 the lowest 1% for the salary

Please solve this problem because tomorrow is my exam.<br><br>​
jonny [76]

Step-by-step explanation:

a). A = {x  ∈ R  I  5x-8 < 7}

5x - 8 < 7 <=> 5x < 8+7  <=> 5x < 15  =>

x < 3  => A = (-∞ ; 3)

A ∩ N = {0 ; 1 ; 2}

A - N* = (-∞ ; 3) - {1 ; 2}

b).  A = { x ∈ R  I  7x+2 ≤ 9}

7x+2 ≤ 9 <=> 7x ≤ 7  => x ≤ 1 => x ∈ (-∞ ; 1]

A ∩ N = {0 ; 1}

A-N* = (-∞ ; 1)

c). A = { x ∈ R  I  I 2x-1 I < 5}

I 2x-1 I < 5  <=> -5 ≤ 2x-1 ≤ 5  <=>

-4 ≤ 2x ≤ 6  <=> -2 ≤ x ≤ 3  => x ∈ [-2 ; 3]

A ∩ N = {0 ; 1 ; 2 ; 3}

A - N* = [-2 ; 3) - {1 ; 2}

d). A = {x ∈ R I I 6-3x I ≤ 9}

I 6-3x I ≤ 9  <=> -9 ≤ 6-3x ≤ 9  <=>

-15 ≤ -3x ≤ 3 <=> -5 ≤ -x ≤ 3  =>

-3 ≤ x ≤ 5  => x ∈ [-3 ; 5]

A ∩ N = {0 ; 1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 4 ; 5}

A - N* = [-3 ; 5) - {1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 4}

nataly862011 [7]
So 1 hour = 60 minutes, you do 60 + 37 and you get 97, Vincent has watched 52 minutes of the movie, so you subtract 97 by 52 and you get 45, hope this helped. It will appreciated if you give me a star so I can help even more people that are having trouble :)
