Answer:  16%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The scores on an exam are normally distributed.

Mean : \mu=77

Standard deviation=\sigma=10

Let X = 87

Then, z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

\Rightarrow\ z=\dfrac{87-77}{10}=1

Now, the probability of scores are greater than 87 is given by :-

P(X\geq87)=1-P(X\leq87)

Since, P(X\leq 87)=\text{p value of z=1}=0.8413447

Then, P(X\geq87)=1-0.8413447=0.1586553

In percent , P(X\geq87)=0.1586553\times100=15.86\approx16%

RSB [31]

Answer: 8.76%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the simple interest is given by :-

I=Prt, where P is the principal amount, r is rate of interest () in decimal and t is the time ( in years).   (1)

Given : Justin deposited $2,000 into an account 5 years ago.

i.e. P = $2,000 ,  t= 5 years

He has just withdrawn $2,876. i.e. Future value = $2,876

Interest (I)=$2,876-$2,000=$876  [Subtract Principal value from Future value]

Substitute all the above values of P , t , and I in the formula (1) , we get

876 =(2000)r(5)\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=\dfrac{876 }{2000\times5}\\\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{876}{10000}=0.0876

In percent , r=0.0876\times100=8.76\%

Hence, the rate of interest = 8.76%
