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

What are the coordinates of the x and y intercepts of the equation 3x+2y=12
Sonbull [250]
To find the x-intercept you must make y=0

3x+2y=12 - substitute 0 for y
3x+2(0)=12 - multiply 2 and 0
3x+0=12 - add zero
3x=12 - divide by 3
x=4

To find the y-intercept you must make x=0

3x+2y=12 - substitute 0 for x
3(0)+2y=12 - multiply 3 and 0
0+2y=12 - add 0 and 2y
2y=12 - divide by 2
y=6

Point-lope form for the line that pae through the point (1, –1) and ha a lope of 4
max2010maxim [7]
Answer is
Point-slope form: y + 1 = 4(x -1)
Assuming you wanted
Slope-intercept form: y = 4x -5

Step by step

y - - 1 = 4(x -1)

y + 1 = 4(x -1)

y + 1 = 4x -4

y = 4x -5

(?,3) is on the line y=2x+5 find the other coordinate
Lerok [7]
Think about this. What do the numbers in a coordinate stand for? They stand for X and Y. If you're trying to figure out what the X is, wouldn't you be solving for x? And didn't they just give you an equation? ;) First off, do you see how the "Y" value is given to you in the coordinate? All you have to do is substitute that 3 in for the "y" in the equation! 3=2x+5. Hey.... that looks like a simple equation! First, you need to subtract 5 from the other side of the equation. Now you're left with 2x=-2. Divide both sides by 2, and you get that x=-1. Now, just substitute that "x' value into the coordinate, and your answer should come out to be (-1, 3). :D

Consider a t distribution with 7 degrees of freedom. Compute P(-1.29 &lt; t &lt; 1.29). Round your answer to at least three deci
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there is a t distribution with 7 degrees of freedom.

P(-1.29 < t < 1.29)=1-0.2380

=0.7620

b) Now there is a different t distribution with 18 df.

When P(t\leq c)=0.05

c=-1.733

One rectangle has a base of 12 inches and an altitude of 6 inches. The other has a base of 10 inches and an altitude of 5 inches
guajiro [1.7K]

Ratio of their bases = $\frac{12}{10}

Ratio of their altitudes = $\frac{6}{5}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

For first rectangle, it was given that

Base 1 = 12 inches

Altitude 1 = 6 inches

For the second rectangle, it was given that

Base 2 = 10 inches

Altitude 2 = 5 inches

Ratio of their bases is given by the ratio of the base of the first rectangle to the second one.

Ratio of their altitudes is given by the ratio of the altitude of the first rectangle to the altitude of the second rectangle.

Ratio of their bases = $\frac{12}{10}

Ratio of their altitudes = $\frac{6}{5}
