Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Both 115 and 145 mph are above the mean.  Draw a normal curve and mark these speeds.  115 mph is 1 standard deviation above the mean; 130 would be 2 standard deviations above the mean; and 145 would be 3 s. d. above it.

We need to find the area under the standard normal curve between 115 and 145.  This is equivalent to the area under the standard normal curve between z = 1 and z = 3.

I used my TI-83 Plus calculator's DISTR function "normalcdf(" to calculate this area:  normalcdf(1, 3) = 0.1573.

The area between z = 1 and z = 3 is 0.1573.  In other words, the percentage of serves that were between 115 and 145 mph was 15.73%.

Chandani purchased some parrots. 20% flew away and 5% died. Of the remaining, 45% were sold. Now 33 parrots remain. How many par
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

80 parrots were purchased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of parrots be k.

If 20% (or 20/100 = 1/5) flew away and 5% (5/100 = 1/20) died, the remaining parrots will be k – (¹/₅k + ¹/₂₀k) = k – ¼k = ¾k.

Of the remaining, 45% (or 45/100 = 9/20) were sold, which means the total number of sold parrots will be ¾k × ⁹/₂₀ = ²⁷/₈₀k.

The remaining parrots = ¾k – ²⁷/₈₀k = ³³/₈₀k = 33

k = 33 × ⁸⁰/₃₃ = 80 parrots were purchased.
