Answer:

  • <u>53.5 %</u>

Explanation:

You can convert the percent markup into a multiplicative factor in this way:

Base price:                     15,800 . . . (cost to the seller)

Percent mark up:           115% . . .  (based on the cost to the seller)

Sale price:                      15,800 + 115% of x = 15,800 + 115 × 15,800 /100 =

                                        = 15,800 + 1.15 × 15,800 = 15,800 (2.15) = 33,970

The markup is:

  • Markup = price paid by the seller - cost to the seller = 33,970 - 15,800   = 18,170 (notice that this is 115% of 15,800)

And <em>the percent markup based on the sale price is</em>:

  • % = (markup / sale price) × 100 = (18,700 / 33,970) × 100 =

            = 53.49 %

Rounding to the nearest tenth percent that is 53.5 %.

You scored 12, 8, 15, and 21 points during your first four basketball games. Find your mean score per game
lapo4ka [179]

Given:

You scored 12, 8, 15, and 21 points during your first four basketball games.

To find"

The mean score per game.

Solution:

We have,

Observations =12, 8, 15, and 21 points

Number of observations = 4

We know that,

\text{Mean}=\dfrac{\text{Sum of the observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}

The mean score per game is

\text{Mean}=\dfrac{12+8+15+21}{4}

\text{Mean}=\dfrac{56}{4}

\text{Mean}=14

Therefore, the mean score per game is 14 points.

In a certain breed of cattle, the length of gestation has a mean of 284 days and a standard deviation is 5.5 days. One length of
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The statement that best interprets the z-score is;

D. The length of the gestation period was shorter than the mean length of gestation period by 1.7 standard deviations

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The length of the gestation period of the cattle breed = 284 days

The standard deviation = 5.5 days

The z-score of one length of gestation period was z = -1.70

The formula for finding the z-score, z is presented as follows

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

Where;

x = The observed value for the gestation period

μ = The sample mean length for the gestation period = 284

σ = The gestation period standard deviation = 5.5

When Z = -1.70, we have;

-1.70 =\dfrac{x-\mu }{\sigma }

∴ x - μ = -1.7 × σ

∴ x is shorter than μ by 1.7×σ

Therefore, the length of the gestation period, x, was shorter than the mean length of gestation period, μ, by 1.7 standard deviations, σ.
