Answer:
171 newspapers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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 problem, we have that:

How many newspapers should the newsstand operator order to ensure that he runs short on no more than 20% of days
The number of newspapers must be on the 100-20 = 80th percentile. So this value if X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8. So X when Z = 0.84.




So 171 newspapers.
Answer: $4840
Step-by-step explanation:
A = p(1+r/n)^nt
A = 2800(1+0.043)^13
A = 4840
Answer:
second equation
Step-by-step explanation:
10a + 12p = 70 (10 goes with almonds [a], 12 goes with pistachios[p], $10 and $12 is price per pound and $70 is total price, so that's why its = to 70)
a + p = 6.3 (this is total almonds and pistachios adding up to 6.3 pounds)
a = pounds of almonds
p = pounds of pistachios
Answer: (-24,2)
=======================================
Work Shown:
The y coordinate stays the same. Only the x coordinate will change.
(1/4)*x = -6
x = -6*4
x = -24 is the new x coordinate
Plugging x = -24 into f((1/4)x) leads to f(-6) = 2
Answer:
10 outcomes
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of outcomes is the number of marbles in the bag since we are taking out one marble
4+2+1+3 = 10
There are 10 outcomes
