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.

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point that has the given slope (-2,-7);m=-3/2
love history [14]

For this case we have that the point-slope equation of a line is given by:

(y-y_ {0}) = m (x-x_ {0})

Where:

m: It's the slope

(x_ {0}, y_ {0}): It is a point

We have as data that:

(x_ {0}, y_ {0}): (- 2, -7)\\m = - \frac {3} {2}

We replace:

(y - (- 7)) = - \frac {3} {2} (x - (- 2))\\(y + 7) = - \frac {3} {2} (x + 2)

Answer:(y + 7) = - \frac {3} {2} (x + 2)

Math help? 10 points!
Kipish [7]
Perimeter is when you add all the sides together...but oh, no! There are two sides missing! So we have to find it. The horizontal like could be x and the vertical, the y. x would be 3 because one side is 7 and the other side is 4, so if we subtract them, we get 3. Same for the vertical, the y would be 3. (3+3=6)

Now we could add all sides to get the last choice, or 26 cm.

Ten years ago. Phukan is 18 years younger than Namwan.Currently, the sum of their ages is 100 years. Find their current ages.
yawa3891 [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

phukan = x

Nanwan = y

let this be a simultaneous equation.

x - y = 18.... equation i

x + y = 100.... equation ii

subtract equation i from equation ii

= 2y = 118

y = 59

substitute y = 59 in equation ii to get x

x + 59 = 100

x = 100- 59

x = 41

Nanwan = 59, Phukan = 41

You're given a side length of 8 centimeters. How many equilateral triangles can you construct using this information
goblinko [34]

Answer:

1 equilateral triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Equilateral Triangle

Side length = 8cm

Required

Determine the number of triangles

From the question, we understand that the triangle is equilateral and the length of a side is 8cm.

This implies that the length of other sides will also be 8cm.

So, only one triangle can be constructed and their side lengths is 8cm.
