Answer: Area is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is 24

Let the length be x

Let the breadth be Y

Length is 5times the breadth

I.e

X=5y

Formula for perimeter of a rectangle is

2(length + breadth)

= 2(x+y)

Substitute for x=5y

2(5y+y)=24

2(6y)=24

6y=24/2

6y=12

Y=12/6

Y=2

Breadth = 2

Since length =5y

Length=5(2)

Length = 10

Area of a rectangle = length × breadth

Area= 10×2

Area = 20

Area of the rectangle is 20

A report published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in 2012 reported the results of a nationwide study of college student

Answer:

The proportion of borrowers who owe more than 54,000 is 0%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Researchers found that the average student loan balance per borrower is $23,300.

This means that $\mu = 23300$

They also reported that about one-quarter of borrowers owe more than $28,000.

This means that the 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z is 0.25 when X = 28000, that is, when X = 28000, Z has a p-value of 0.75, so when X = 28000, Z = 0.675. We use this to find $\sigma$

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

$0.675 = \frac{28000 - 23300}{\sigma}$
