Answer:

<em>84%</em><em> of the wage earners earn less than $14,000 each. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule (68-95-99.7%)-

According to this around 95% of the data will fall within two standard deviations of the mean.

As the bell curve is symmetrical, so the remaining 5% will be divided into 2 equal parts. So 2.5% will be above 2 standard deviation and 2.5% will be below 2 standard deviation.

As it is given that, the top 2.5% of the wage earners earn $18,000 or more, so 18,000 is 2 standard deviation away from the mean 10,000.

i.e 2\sigma=18000-10000=8000

\Rightarrow \sigma = 4000

We know that,

Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

where,

X = raw score = 14,000

μ = 10,000

σ = 4,000

Putting the values,

Z=\dfrac{14000-10000}{4000}=\dfrac{4000}{4000}=1

Now, calculating the value from the z score table,

P(1)=0.8413=84.13\%

As the probability at z=1 is the area below that, so 84% of the wage earners earn less than $14,000 each.

Answer: x= -12

Step-by-step explanation:

These are corresponding angles which means they are the same. X+62= 50. Subtract 62 from both sides. X= -12

Trapezia ABCD and PQRS are similar.<br> Find the area shaded in green.
avanturin [10]

The area shaded in green is 864 cm²

<h3>Similar figures</h3>

Similar figures, corresponding angles are congruent and the sides are ratio of each other. Therefore,

AB / PQ = CD / RS

30 / 10 = 24 / RS

30RS = 240

RS = 240 / 30

RS = 8 cm

let find the height of trapezium PQRS.

AB / PQ  = 36 / h

30 / 10 = 36 / h

30h = 360

h = 360 / 30

h = 12 cm

Therefore,

area of the green portion = area of ABCD - area of PQRS

<h3>Area of a trapezium</h3>
  • area = 1 / 2(a + b)h

Therefore,

area of ABCD = 1 / 2(24 + 30)36 =  1 / 2 (54)36 = 1944 / 2 = 972 cm²

area of PQRS = 1 / 2(10 + 8)12 = 1 / 2(18)12 = 216 / 2 = 108 cm²

Area of the green portion = 972 - 108 = 864 cm²

where p is the price (in dollars) and x is the number of units (in thousands). Find the average price p on the interval 40 ≤ x ≤
marusya05 [52]

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW

The demand equation for a product is p=90000/400+3x where p is the price (in dollars) and x is the number of units (in thousands). Find the average price p on the interval 40 ≤ x ≤ 50.

Answer

$168.27

Step by step Explanation

Given p=90000/400+3x

With the limits of 40 to 50

Then we need the integral in the form below to find the average price

1/(g-d)∫ⁿₐf(x)dx

Where n= 40 and a= 50, then if we substitute p and the limits then we integrate

1/(50-40)∫⁵⁰₄₀(90000/400+3x)

1/10∫⁵⁰₄₀(90000/400+3x)

If we perform some factorization we have

90000/(10)(3)∫3dx/(400+3x)

3000[ln400+3x]₄₀⁵⁰

Then let substitute the upper and lower limits we have

3000[ln400+3(50)]-ln[400+3(40]

30000[ln550-ln520]

3000[6.3099×6.254]

3000[0.056]

=168.27

the average price p on the interval 40 ≤ x ≤ 50 is

=$168.27
