Answer:

The height below which 20% of the persons lie equals 169.95 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Mean height = 175 cm

Standard deviation = 6 cm

Hence for the given question we need to find the standard variate factor ( Z factor) corresponding to the 20% of the area under the standard normal distribution curve

Using the standard normal distribution tables we have Z factor corresponding to an area of 20% equals ( Z = -0.84166)

Thus we have

Z=\frac{X-\bar{X }}{\sigma }\\\\\Rightarrow -0.84166=\frac{X-175}{6}\\\\\therefore X=-0.84166\times 6+175\\\\X=169.95cm

Point P is the midpoint of DE DP=3x +2 and DE =10X-12 What is the length of DP
ivolga24 [154]
<h3>Given</h3>

DP = 3x+2

DE = 10x-12

P is the midpoint of DE

<h3>Find</h3>

DP

<h3>Solution</h3>

If P is the midpoint, then PE = DP. The parts of a line segment add up to give the length of the entire line segment:

... DP + PE = DE

... DP + DP = DE . . . . . . use DP = PE

... 2(DP) = DE . . . . . . . . simplify

... 2(3x + 2) = 10x - 12 . . substitute the given in formation

... 16 = 4x . . . . . . . . . . . . add -6x +12

... 4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

The length of DP is 3×4 +2 = 14

<u>Check</u>

The length of DE is 10×4 - 12 = 28, which is 2 times the length of DP

Suzie's Slushes has increasing profits each week during the hot summer months. Suzie finds that
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Approximately to the nearest cent :

$1856

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the above question that:

Suzie's profit increases every month by 30%

We are told that in the first month her profit is $300

Step 1

We are to find the profit for the other weeks:

First week Profit = $300

b) Second week =

$300 × 30/100 = $90

Total amount for the second week= $90 + $300

= $390

c) Third week

$390 × 30/100 = $117

Total amount for the third week = $117 + $390

= $507

d) Fourth week

$507 × 30/100 = $152.1

Total amount for the fourth week = $152.1 + $507

= $659.1

Total Amount of money she would make after 4 weeks =

Profit of the first week + Total Amount for the first week + Total Amount for the second week + Total Amount for the third week + Total Amount for the fourth week

= $300 + $390 + $507 + $659.1

= $1856.10

Approximately to the nearest cent the amount of money will she make in all over 4 weeks is :

$1856
