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.

marin [14]

Answer:

There are 60 boys and 80 girls in Franklin School.

Step-by-step explanation:

"franklin school has 3 boys for every 4 girls in the fifth grade." means that the ratio of boys to girls is: 3:4

It can also be written as 3/4

Also given

Total number of students: 140

We will use ratios to find the number of boys and girls in shool.

First of all, we have to calculate the sum of ratio which is: 3+4 = 7

Let b be the number of boys and g be the number of girls

Then

b = \frac{Ratio\ of\ boys}{Sum\ of\ ratio} * Total\ students\\= \frac{3}{7} * 140\\= 3*20\\=60\\g = \frac{Ratio\ of\ girls}{Sum\ of\ ratio} * Total\ students\\g = \frac{4}{7}*140\\= 4*20\\=80

Hence,

There are 60 boys and 80 girls in Franklin School.

the average rate of change of the function f(x) on the interval -3≤x≤3 is -2.5. If (-3)=14 then which of the following is the va
oksian1 [2.3K]

The average rate of change of <em>f(x)</em> on -3 ≤ <em>x</em> ≤ 3 is given to be

(<em>f</em> (3) - <em>f</em> (-3)) / (3 - (-3)) = -2.5

If <em>f</em> (-3) = 14, then

(<em>f</em> (3) - 14) / (3 + 3) = -2.5

(<em>f</em> (3) - 14) / 6 = -2.5

<em>f</em> (3) - 14 = -15

<em>f</em> (3) = -1
