Complete question :

A clinical psychologist has developed a new measure for assessing alcohol abuse. In a normal (non-clinical) sample, he found that his measure had a mean equal to 85 and a standard deviation equal to 15. Identify the score 25th, 75th, 95th

Answer:

1.) 25th percentile = 74.95

2.) 75th percentile = 95.05

3.) 95th percentile = 109.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean (m) = 85

Standard deviation (s) = 15

The Zscore, corresponding to the percentiles given:

25th percentile score corresponds to a Zscore of - 0.67

Recall the relation:

Zscore = (x - m) / sd

x = score; m = mean = 85 ; sd = standard deviation = 15

-0.67 = (x - 85) / 15

15 * - 0.67 = x - 85

-10.05 = x - 85

x = 74.95

2.) 75th percentile ; Zscore = 0.67

0.67 = (x - 85) / 15

15 * 0.67 = x - 85

10.05 = x - 85

x = 10.05 + 85

x = 95.05

3.) 95th percentile ; Zscore = 1.65

1.65 = (x - 85) / 15

15 * 1.65 = x - 85

24.75 = x - 85

x = 24.75 + 85

x = 109.75

Find the selling price. Original price of the telescope: $99.99 Discount: 13%
iragen [17]
There is no discount stated but I'm assuming this problem is the same problem I encountered before.

Original price of the telescope is $99.99
Discount: 13%

$99.99 * 13% = 12.9987 or 13
$99.99 - 13 = $86.99 or $87 

New selling price is $86.99 rounded up to the nearest unit $87.00

ycow [4]

Things that make me skeptical: No evidence is provided, the company also claims that its washing machine produces 4000 joules of output for ever 3000 joules of input, and there is no possible way of creating a joule output larger than the input, unless your using coils to increase electricity, but that's not what washing machines have inside of their machinery. Washing machines don't have mini Tesla coils inside their machinery!

I hope this helps!

Number 6 plz help plz
goldenfox [79]
Pat attention to the ending of the numbers. If there are an odd amount of odds, it's going to be odd. If there is an even amount of odds, it's going to be even. If there's only evens, it's only going to stay even.
