Answer:

15.39% of the scores are less than 450

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 565, \sigma = 113

What percentage of the scores are less than 450?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 450. So

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

Z = \frac{450 - 565}{113}

Z = -1.02

Z = -1.02 has a pvalue of 0.1539

15.39% of the scores are less than 450

Are 4/16 and 0.25/2 equivalent numbers? If so, explain how they are.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Two fractions are equivalent if the product of the numerator of the first and the denominator of the second is equal to the product of the numerator of the second and the denominator of the first.
                           4 x 2 ___ 16 x 0.25
                               8 is not equal to 4
Thus, they are not equivalent.

29) Turns is the ratio of annual amount to average amount.

Cost turns = 57,982.85/15,545 ≈ 3.73

Sales turns = 130,935.60/35,388 ≈ 3.70

30) Consider January of the following year to be month 13.

7/16 to 13/14 is 6 months less 2 days. There are 31 days in July, August, October, and December, so 4 more days than 30 days per month. The total number of days is 6*30 -2 +4 = 182

31) I = Prt = $5380×0.118333×90/360 = $159.16

When making a long distance call from a certain pay phone, the first three minutes of a call cost $2.10. After that, each additi
Sauron [17]

Answer: the number of minutes of long distance call that one can make is lesser than or equal to 12 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of minutes of long distance call that one makes.

The first three minutes of a call cost $2.10. After that, each additional minute or portion of a minute of that call cost $0.45. This means that if x minutes of long distance call is made, the total cost would be

2.10 + 0.45(x - 3)

Therefore, the inequality to find the number of minutes one can call long distance for $6.15 is expressed as

2.10 + 0.45(x - 3) ≤ 6.15

2.10 + 0.45x - 1.35 ≤ 6.15

0.75 + 0.45x ≤ 6.15

0.45x ≤ 6.15 - 0.75

0.45x ≤ 5.4

x ≤ 5.4/0.45

x ≤ 12
