Answer:

A. P(X<20,000) = 0.0392

B. P(20,000 < x < 30,000) = 0.488

C. Amount = $39,070

Step-by-step explanation:

From XO group website

Cost of a wedding = $29,858

Mean, μ = $29,858

Standard Deviation, σ =$5,600

a. Calculating the probability that a wedding costs less than $20,000

P(X<20,000)?

First, the z value needs to be calculated.

z = (x - μ)/σ

x = 20,000

z = (20,000 - 29,858)/5600

z = -1.76

So, P(X<20,000) = P(Z<-1.76)

From the z table,

P(Z<-1.76) = 0.0392

P(X<20,000) = 0.0392

b. Calculating the probability that a wedding costs between $20,000 and $30,000

P(20,000 < x < 30,000)

First, the z value needs to be calculated.

z = (x - μ)/σ

When x = 20,000

z = (20,000 - 29,858)/5600

z = -1.76

When x = 30,000

z = (30,000 - 29,858)/5600

z = 0.02

P(20,000 < x < 30,000) = P(-1.76 < z <0.02) --- using the z table

P(-1.76 < z <0.02) = 0.508 - 0.0392

P(-1.76 < z <0.02) = 0.4688

P(20,000 < x < 30,000) = 0.488

c. Using the following formula, we'll get the amount it'll a wedding to be among the 5% most expensive

z = (x - μ)/σ where x = amount

Make x the subject of formula

x = σz + μ

Fist we need to get the z value of 5%

z0.05 = 1.645

x = σz + μ becomes

x = 5600 * 1.645 + 29,858

x = $39,070

Amount = $39,070

Answer:

The length <u>EF</u> is 7 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length between the points E and F, using the plot below, is:

$\bar{EF}=7\: u$

Therefore the <u>length EF is 7 units.</u>

Please help. Don’t understand this math problem!

Answer:

{ 4 }

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to solve the equation. Then you need to write the solutions as a set.

I like to use a graphing calculator to solve equations involving roots. That helps avoid extraneous solutions. Here, the graph of the left side intersects the graph of the right side at x=4. There is exactly one solution, so the solution set is ...

{ 4 }

Solving this algebraically, you would isolate the radical, then "undo" it by squaring both sides of the equation. Then solve the resulting quadratic. That will have 2 solutions, only one of which will work in the original equation.

√(5x +16) -2 = 3x -8 . . . . given

√(5x +16) = 3x -6 . . . . . . add 2

5x +16 = (3x -6)^2 . . . . . square both sides

5x +16 = 9x^2 -36x +36 . . . . expand the square

9x^2 -41x +20 = 0 . . . . . . subtract (5x+16) to put into standard form

Factors of 9·20 = 180 that have a sum of 41 are 5 and 36, so we can rewrite this equation as ...

9x^2 -36x -5x +20 = 0

9x(x -4) -5(x -4) = 0 . . . . . . factor by pairs

(9x -5)(x -4) = 0

The values of x that make this equation true are the values that make the factors be zero: 5/9 and 4. Trying these in the equation, we find ...

√(5(5/9) +16) -2 = 13/3 -2 = 2 1/3 . . . . value of the left side for x = 5/9

3(5/9) -8 = -6 1/3 . . . . . . value of the right side for x=5/9; not the same

x = 5/9 is NOT A SOLUTION

__

√(5(4)+16) -2 = √36 -2 = 4 . . . . value of the left side for x = 4

3(4) -8 = 12 -8 = 4 . . . . . . value of the right side for x=4. These are the same, so ...

x = 4 is a solution

The set of solutions is then ...

{ 4 } . . . . . solution set
