Answer:

Tuesday z-score was 3.26.

Tuesday was a significantly good day.

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.

A score is said to be significantly high if it has a z-score higher than 1.64, that is, it is at least in the 95th percentile.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 28372.72, \sigma = 2000

On​ Tuesday, the store sold​ $34,885.21 worth of goods. Find​ Tuesday's ​z-score.

This is Z when X = 34885.21

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

Z = \frac{34885.21 - 28372.72}{2000}

Z = 3.26

Tuesday z-score was 3.26.

Was Tuesday a significantly good​ day?

A z-score of 3.26 has a pvalue of 0.9994. So only 1-0.9994 = 0.0006 = 0.06% of the day are better than Tuesday.

So yes, Tuesday was a significantly good day.

is the statement below always, sometimes or never true. Gi at least 2 examples to support your reasoning. The lcm of two numbers
ASHA 777 [7]
The statement is not always true. 
For Example...
The LCM of 6 and 8 is not the product of the two numbers
6*8= 48
48 is not the LEAST common multiple
Multiples of 6 are...
6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48...
Multiples of 8 are....
8,16,24,32,40,48...
The least common multiple is 24 not 48 even though they are both common multiples.
