Given Information:

John's mean monthly commission = μ = $10,000

Standard deviation of monthly commission = σ =  $2,000

Answer:

P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = 0.383\\\\P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = 38.3 \%

The probability that John's commission from the jewelry store is  between $9,000 and $11,000 is 38.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

What is Normal Distribution?

We are given a Normal Distribution, which is a continuous probability distribution and is symmetrical around the mean. The shape of this distribution is like a bell curve and most of the data is clustered around the mean. The area under this bell shaped curve represents the probability.  

We want to find out the probability that John's commission from the jewelry store is  between $9,000 and $11,000?

P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = P( \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} < Z < \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} )\\\\P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = P( \frac{9,000 - 10,000}{2,000} < Z < \frac{11,000 - 10,000}{2,000} )\\\\P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = P( \frac{-1,000}{2,000} < Z < \frac{1,000}{2,000} )\\\\P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = P( -0.5 < Z < 0.5 )\\\\P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = P( Z < 0.5 ) - P( Z < -0.5 ) \\\\

The z-score corresponding to 0.50 is 0.6915

The z-score corresponding to -0.50 is 0.3085

P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = 0.6915 - 0.3085 \\\\P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = 0.383\\\\P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = 38.3 \%

Therefore, the probability that John's commission from the jewelry store is  between $9,000 and $11,000 is 38.3%

How to use z-table?

Step 1:

In the z-table, find the two-digit number on the left side corresponding to your z-score. (e.g 1.4, 2.2, 0.5 etc.)

Step 2:

Then look up at the top of z-table to find the remaining decimal point in the range of 0.00 to 0.09. (e.g. if you are looking for 0.50 then go for 0.00 column)

Step 3:

Finally, find the corresponding probability from the z-table at the intersection of step 1 and step 2.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Cos θ  = -4/5

Tan θ = -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as following:

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

Angle θ lies in the second quadrant, and sin θ =3/5.

cos θ = -4/5, -3/5, 3/5, 4/5

tan θ = -4/3, -3/4, 3/4, 4/3

==================================================

Since, the angle lies in second quadrant (negative x axis and positive y axis) we can deduce that cos θ is negative and tan θ is also negative.

If sin θ =3/5

cos \  \theta =\sqrt{1-sin^2 \theta} = \sqrt{1-(\frac{3}{5} )^2} =\sqrt{1-\frac{9}{25} }=\sqrt{\frac{16}{25} } =\frac{4}{5}

∴ Cos θ = -4/5 ⇒ because θ lies in the second quadrant.

And

Tan θ = (sin θ)/(cos θ) = (3/5) / (-4/5) = -3/4.
