Answer:

The minimum value of the bill that is greater than 95% of the bills is $37.87.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 28, \sigma = 6

What are the minimum value of the bill that is greater than 95% of the bills?

This is the 95th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So X when Z = 1.645.

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

1.645 = \frac{X - 28}{6}

X - 28 = 6*1.645

X = 37.87

The minimum value of the bill that is greater than 95% of the bills is $37.87.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of Volume for a cube is just like Hyperrectangle's V = width x length x height and since a Cube is just a Hyperrectangle with all sides equal, this specific case can be written as V = side^3

Use the figure below to answer questions 10-11.
Anton [14]

The two marked angles are complementary angles. This means that the angles are equal.

Hence, X + 1 = 2X - 3.

By rearranging, X = 4.
