Answer:

a) X\sim(27293,(7235)^2)

b) 0.1567

c) P_{70}=31084.14

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = $27,293 per year

Standard Deviation, σ = $7,235

We are given that the distribution of cost of college is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

a) Distribution of X

Let X be the cost for a randomly selected college. Then,

X\sim (\mu, \sigma^2)\\X\sim(27293,(7235)^2)

b) Probability that a randomly selected Private nonprofit four-year college will cost less than $20,000 per year.

P( x < 20000) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{20000 - 27293}{7235}) = P(z < -1.008)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x < 20000) = 0.1567

c) 70th percentile for the distribution.

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.7

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 27293}{7235})=0.7  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

\displaystyle\frac{x - 27293}{7235} = 0.524\\\\x = 31084.14  

The 70th percentile for the distribution of college cost is $31,084.14

If 30 is half price, then what is full price?

You can set up this problem like this:

30 = x/2

OR

30 = (1/2)x

where x is the full price.

To solve, simply multiply each half by 2:

2(30) = 2((1/2)x)

<u>x = $60</u>

30+6t - 3t-9
combine 6t and -3t and get 3t
30+3t=-9
subtract 30 on both sides
3t=-39
divide by 3
t=13

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor red to blue meaning 42 to 7

42÷7=6

Scale factor is 6

Perimeter of the blue quadrilateral = ?

If perimeter of red = 204

Then we use this following proportion

204 \div 42 = x \div 7

\frac{204}{42}  =  \frac{x}{7}

Then we cross multiply

42x=7×204

42x=1428

x=34

Area of the blue quadrilateral = ?

If area of the red quadrilateral = 2880

Then we use the following proportion

2880 \div 42 = x \div 7

\frac{2880}{42}  =  \frac{x}{7}

Then we cross multiply

42x=2880×7

42x=20160

x=480

Using the tagent rule:

 Tangent(angle) = Opposite Leg /  Adjacent leg

Tangent(51) = x / 10

x = 10 * Tangent (51)

x = 12.349

x = 12.3 ( Rounded to the nearest tenth)
