Answer:

The mean of this distribution is approximately 3.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how to solve this problem using a normal distribution table.

Let z be the

\displaystyle z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}.

In this question, x = 5 and \sigma = 2. The equation becomes

\displaystyle z = \frac{5 - \mu}{2}.

To solve for \mu, the mean of this distribution, the only thing that needs to be found is the value of z. Since

The problem stated that P(X \le 5) = 69.85\% = 0.6985. Hence, P(Z \le z) = 0.6985.

The problem is that the normal distribution tables list only the value of P(0 \le Z \le z) for z \ge 0. To estimate  z from P(Z \le z) = 0.6985, it would be necessary to find the appropriate

Since P(Z \le z) = 0.6985 and is greater than P(Z \le 0) = 0.50, z > 0. As a result, P(Z \le z) can be written as the sum of P(Z < 0) and P(0 \le Z \le z). Besides, P(Z < 0) = P(Z \le 0) = 0.50. As a result:

\begin{aligned}&P(Z \le z)\\ &= P(Z < 0) + P(0 \le Z \le z) \\ &= 0.50 + P(0 \le Z \le z)\end{aligned}.

Therefore:

\begin{aligned}&P(0 \le Z \le z) \\ &= P(Z \le z) - 0.50 \\&= 0.6985 - 0.50 \\&=0.1985 \end{aligned}.

Lookup 0.1985 on a normal distribution table. The corresponding z-score is 0.52. (In other words, P(0 \le Z \le 0.52) = 0.1985.)

Given that

  • z = 0.52,
  • x =5, and
  • \sigma = 2,

Solve the equation \displaystyle z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} for the mean, \mu:

\displaystyle 0.52 = \frac{5 - \mu}{2}.

\mu = 5 - 2 \times 0.52 = 3.96.

How much money has to be invested at 5.9% interest compounded continuously to have $15,000 after 12 years?
scoray [572]

The amount of $7389.43 has to be invested at 5.9% interested continuously to have $15,000 after 12 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

                Future value, F  = $15,000

                           Interest, i = 5.9%

              ( compounded continuously )

                            Period, t = 12 years

Step:1

           Formula to calculate the present with compounded continuously,

                                       F=Pe^{(i)(t)}...............(1)

           Substitute the values in equation (1) to find the P value,

                                  15000=Pe^{(0.059)(12)}          ( ∵ i = \frac{5.9}{100}=0.059 )

                                  15000=Pe^{0.708}

                                  15000=P(2.0299)             ( ∵ e^{o.708} =2.0299 )

            We change the P (Present value) into the left side,

                                        P=\frac{15000}{2.0299}

                                            =7389.427

                                            ≅ 7389.43

                                         P = $ 7389.43

Result:

           The amount of $7389.43 has to be invested at 5.9% interested continuously to have $15,000 after 12 years.

Answer:

  11) x = 9

  12) x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

11) Corresponding segments are proportional, so ...

  x/6 = 12/8

  x = 6(12)/8 . . . multiply by 6

  x = 9

__

12) Similar triangle relationships show you the geometric mean relationship that applies in this case.

  long side/short side = x/3 = 27/x

  x² = 3·27 . . . . . . cross multiply

  x = √(3·27) . . . . geometric mean relationship

  x = 9

17.16 is 62.4% of what
nlexa [21]

divide them

17.16/0.624 = 27.5

27.5 is the answer

double check by multiplying 27.5 by 62.4%

27.5*.624 = 17.16
