Answer:
-10
Step-by-step explanation:
minus 5 in each number
Number of books = 42 / 5/8 (Note 3 1/2 feet = 42 ins.)
= 42 * 8/5 = 336 / 5 = 67.2
67 books will fit on the shelf.
1.)
Old Number:35
New Number:45
Now, subract the new number(45) from the old number. (35)
45-35 is 10. Now divide the old number (35) by 10.
You'll get 3.5. 3.5%, increase is the answer for #1.
2.) Old: s (students)
New: 36,750
Do 100+5 (Addition because we do not know what the old number is.) 100+5 is 105. Move decimal over twice and you get 1.05. Multiply 36,750 by 1.05.
There were 38,587.5 kids last year.
3.)Since the discount is 15% off, do 100-15=85. Now, move the decimal over from the percent, and that makes that .85. Now multiply 50x.85. You get 42.5, or $42.50. Now the coupon is 10%, So subtract 100-10, giving you 90. Now move the decimal over. .90. Multiply 42.5 (or 42.50) by .90. You get 38.25. You do have enough money.
4.) Subtract 100-15, giving you 85. Move decimal over from percent. .85.
Now you would multiply .85 times k. B should be the answer.
suppose the people have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 177 lb and a standard deviation of 26 lb.
Find the probability that if a person is randomly selected, his weight will be greater than 174 pounds?
Assume that weights of people are normally distributed with a mean of 177 lb and a standard deviation of 26 lb.
Mean = 177
standard deviation = 26
We find z-score using given mean and standard deviation
z = 
= 
=-0.11538
Probability (z>-0.11538) = 1 - 0.4562 (use normal distribution table)
= 0.5438
P(weight will be greater than 174 lb) = 0.5438
