Answer:

a) 68% of the observations lie between 90 and 150.

b) 95% of the observations lie between 60 and 180.

c) 99.7% of the observations lie between 30 and 210.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Standard deviation = 120

Mean = 30

a. 90 and 150

This is within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

By the Empirical Rule, 68% of the observations lie between 90 and 150.

b. 60 and 180

This is within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

By the Empirical Rule, 95% of the observations lie between 60 and 180.

c. 30 and 210

This is within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

By the Empirical Rule, 99.7% of the observations lie between 30 and 210.

4) What is the present value of $4000 received at the
Bingel [31]

Answer:

$11040

Step-by-step explanation:

first of all the question says that $4000 were earned in a year and asks for what the new vale would be after the next 3 years with a discount rate of 8%.

If 1 year=$4000,then 3 years=$12000

100%-8%=92% (this happens because there is still a remaining amount that still has a cost to it),so 12000*92%=$11040

June runs a little slower than Carlos. She ran 1/4 of a mile in 3 minutes. How long will it take her to run a full mile?
Lady bird [3.3K]
Alright my friend so if she ran 1/4 a mile in just 3 minutes then her overall time will be 12 minutes because she still has 3 more to go so basically it'll be 3 x 4 = 12

How do you find the x intercepts of 3x^(5/3) - 4x^(7/3)
kaheart [24]
Set the whole expression = to 0 and solve for x.

3x^(5/3) - 4x^(7/3) = 0.  Factor out x^(5/3):     x^(5/3) [3 - 4x^(2/3)] = 0

Then either x^(5/3) = 0, or 3 - 4x^(2/3) = 0.

In the latter case, 4x^(2/3) = 3. 

To solve this:  mult. both sides by x^(-2/3).  Then we have

4x^(2/3)x^(-2/3) = 3x^(-2/3),            or 4 = 3x^(-2/3).  It'd be easier to work with this if we rewrote it as

4           3
---  = --------------------
1            x^(+2/3)

Then 

4
---  = x^(-2/3).  Then, x^(2/3) = (3/4), and x = (3/4)^(3/2).  According to my     3                      calculator, that comes out to x = 0.65 (approx.)

Check this result!  subst. 0.65 for x in the given equation.  Is the equation then true?

My method here was a bit roundabout, and longer than it should have been.  Can you think of a more elegant (and shorter) solution?

If f is a linear function, f(k)=16 and f(-k)= -4 then what is the value of f(0)?​
ira [324]

f(0) =  ( f(k) +f(-k) ) / 2

f(0) = (16 - 4) / 2

f(0) = 12 / 2

f(0) = 6  → ANSWER

*Remember that f(0) = m(0) + n = n

If we have f(x) = mx + n, then:

f(k)= mk + n     and       f(-k)= -mk + n

If we add them:

  f(k) + f(-k)

= mk + n -mk + n

= 2n

= 2f(0)

So we conclude that:

f(0) = [f(k) + f(-k)] / 2
