Please, help me on this question, guys! I know the answer for (a) so I'll write down, too. For (b) I tried "$89,000 because that

is the price with the biggest unusual z-score" but I got that this part is incorrect because I needed to use the mean and standard deviation that I calculated along with z=2 to determine the threshold higher price. That got me lost.
Question: Consider the following prices for a sample of 10 Congo-imported black diamonds: $34,550; $45,500; $75,000; $33,000; $89,000; $40,000; $55,000, $62,500; $88,000; $81,750.

(a) Calculate mean and standard deviation for the above list of prices. Answer: Mean is 60,430 and Std Dev is 21,958.0813.

(b) What is the higher price you will pay for a Congo-imported diamond based on the sample from above? Explain your rationale for that.

Let x be a random variable representing the price of a Congo-imported black diamond. Let the higher price be p. Then,
P(x < p) = P(x < (p - mean)/sd) = P(x < (p - 60,430)/21,958.08) = P(z < 2)
Therefore,
(p - 60,430)/21,958.08 = 2
p - 60,430 = 2 x 21,958.08 = 43,916.16
p = 34,916.16 + 60,430 = 104.346.16

Therefore, The required price is $104,346.16

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

This is related to ratios and proportions. We have a 12 foot tree that casts a 6 foot shadow, so now we are trying to figure out how tall is a tree that casts a 4 foot shadow.

We can set an easier method to get this.

12 = 6 (this means the 12 foot tree casts a 6 foot shadow)

x = 4 (this means how tall is the tree to cast a 4 foot shadow, the unknown height of the tree is denoted as x)

Then, we can cross multiply.

48 = 6x

Solve for x, which is the unknown height we are trying to figure out.

x = 8

Mrs Fuller plants a 4 inch tomato plant in her garden. The tomato plant grows at a rate of 2 inches each week. Which equation ca
kykrilka [37]

Answer: 4 + 2w

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the tomato plant in inches after w weeks will be the value of the current height plus the weekly growth pee week. This can be represented in an equation as:

h = 4 + 2(w)

h = 4 + 2w

For example, the height of the tomato plant in inches after 5 weeks will be:

h = 4 + 2w

h = 4 + 2(5)

h = 4 + 10

h = 14 inches

The time, T (seconds) it takes for a pot of water to boil is inversely proportional to the cooker setting, H, applied to the pot
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

T = 96

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, we were told that the time, T (seconds) it takes for a pot of water to boil is inversely proportional to the cooker setting, H. This can be written as:

T ∝ 1/H

T = K/H

Cross multiply

K = TH

Next, we shall determine the value of K. This can be obtained as follow:

H = 8

T = 120

K =?

K = TH

K = 120 × 8

K = 960

Finally, we shall determine the value of T when H = 10. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

H = 10

K = 960

T =.?

T = K/H

T = 960/10

T = 96

Carol had 9/12 of a container of milk for the french toast she was cooking. She poured 2/3 of the container into the pan. How mu
Effectus [21]

Answer:

1/12 of the container of milk will be left in the container

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we first note the variables

Volume of milk available = 9/12 of a container

Volume of milk poured in a pan = 2/3 of a container

Quantity of milk left = Initial quantity of milk less the quantity poured out

That is 9/12-2/3 = 1/12 of the container of milk

This means that there will be only 1/12 of the container of milk left
