Answer:

Limits for B scores

( 79,2 ; 92 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The interval we are looking for is between 6 % and 59%

p₁  = 6 %     p₁ = 0,06

As this point is at the right tail of the bell we better look for

p = 1- 0,06     p = 0,94

In z-table z score for 0,94062  is:    z₁ = 1,56      ( 0,94062 ≈ 0,94 )

Doing the same to find z₂ score for 59%  or 0,59

In z-table again

p =  0,59      

z₂ = 0,023

Now we know

1,56 * σ  = x₁ - 79

1,56*8,4 + 79 = x₁

x₁  =  92,10        or  x₁ = 92

And

0,023*8,4 + 79  = x₂

x₂ = 79,19         or    x₂ = 79,2

A king size candy bars costs $1 with each candy bar having 1,472 calories. If you bought 7 candy bars and took 8 days eating the
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer: your mom gay ;)

Step-by-step explanation:

4,500 calories a day

If you ate the same amount each day, that means you would eat 3 a day, since 6 divided by 2 is 3.

Find how many calories you would eat each day by multiplying 3 by 1,500

3(1,500)

= 4500

how much money will you have in 10 years if you invest $12,000 at a 3.3% annual rate of interest compounded quarterly?
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The amount is $16718.7 and the interest is $4718.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1: To find amount we use formula:

A=P(1+rn)n⋅t

A = total amount

P = principal or amount of money deposited,

r = annual interest rate

n = number of times compounded per year

t = time in years

In this example we have

P=$12000 , r=3.33% , n=4 and t=10 years

After plugging the given information we have

AAAA=12000(1+0.03334)4⋅10=12000⋅1.00832540=12000⋅1.393225=16718.7

STEP 2: To find interest we use formula A=P+I, since A=16718.7 and P = 12000 we have:

A16718.7II=P+I=12000+I=16718.7−12000=4718.7

A data set of 27 different numbers has a mean of 33 and a median of 33. A new data set is
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that we have a set of N values:

{x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}

The median is the value in the middle, and the mean is calculated as:

M = \frac{(x_1 + x_2 + x_3 ... + x_n)}{N}

Because here we have "the median" then we will assume that N is odd, and there is only one median, the value "k"  (if N was even, the median would be the mean of the two middle values, that case is really similar to the case where N is odd, so solving only one of the cases is enough)

Now we add 7 to all the values greater than the median

We subtract 7 to all values smaller than the median.

Then the median remains unchanged (because we did not add nor subtract anything to the median).

The new mean will be:

M' = \frac{(x_1 - 7) + (x_2 - 7) + ... + (x_{k}) + ... + (x_n + 7)}{N} = \frac{(x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n) + (-7)*(n/2 - 0.5) + 7*(n/2 - 0.5)}{N}  = \frac{(x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n)}{N} = M

So the mean does not change.

Because the mean is computed as the sum of the numbers divided by N, and the mean does not change, and N does not change, then the sum of the numbers does not change.

Finally, the standard deviation is computed as:

SD = \sqrt{\frac{(x_1 - M)^2 + ... + (xn - M)^2}{N} }

Because M does not change, if we add or subtract numbers to some of the values, the standard deviation will change (Because all the terms are squared, so the added and subtracted sevens don't cancel like in the previous cases)

Then the only value that does not have the same value in both the original and new data sets is the standard deviation.
