Answer:

std deviation = 1.641

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) levels among healthy individuals are normally distributed with a mean of 3.1 units/mL.

If X represents the TSH then X is N(3.1, sigma)

We do not know sigma value, but we are given that exactly 95% of healthy individuals have TSH levels below 5.8 units/mL.

We know as per standard normal distribution score that 95th percentile referes to Z score of 1.645

Using this we can find standard dev

5.8 = 3.1+1.645*standard dev\\Standard dev = \frac{5.8-3.1}{1.645} \\=1.641

a tenth = 0.1 so 1/0.1 = 10 so 10 tenths in 1

a hundredth = .01 so 1/.01 = 100 so 100 hundredths in 1

 by those 2 you can see that here would be 1000 thousandths and 10000 ten thousandths in 1

A graphic artist receives a royalty payment of 5% for each game sold, and has an agent who gets 3% of what the graphic artist ge
Bumek [7]
The graphic artist receives 5% amount of the total sales as his royalty payment. The 3% from this royalty payment goes to his agent and remaining 97% are with the artist. So first we calculate the initial 5% amount the graphic artist will recieve, which will be:

0.05(2,000,000)= 100,000

$100,000 is the total royalty payment the graphic artist will receive. From this amount 3% goes to agent and 97% goes with artist. So the actual amount graphic artist will earn will be:

0.97(100,000) = 97,000

Thus, the graphic artist earns $97,000
