x = number of 1-cent stamps

y = number of 8-cent stamps

z = number of 12-cent stamps

We have 31 stamps all together, so x+y+z = 31.

"I have 4 more 1-cent stamps than 8-cent stamps" means we have the equation x = y+8. Whatever y is, add 8 to it to get x. Solve for y to get y = x-8.

You also have "twice as many one cent stamps as 12 cent stamps", so x = 2z. Solving for z gets you z = 0.5x

-------------

x+y+z = 31

x+x-8+z = 31 ... y replaced with x-8

x+x-8+0.5x = 31 ... plug in z = 0.5x

2.5x-8 = 31

2.5x = 31+8

2.5x = 39

x = 39/2.5

x = 15.6

Your teacher made a typo somewhere because we should get a positive whole number result for x (since x is a count of how many 1-cent stamps we have).

A financial advisor is analyzing a family's estate plan. The amount of money that the family has invested in different real esta
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The amount of money separating the lowest 80% of the amount invested from the highest 20% in a sampling distribution of 10 of the family's real estate holdings is $238,281.57.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the amount of money that the family has invested in different real estate properties.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Normal distribution with parameters <em>μ</em> = $225,000 and <em>σ</em> = $50,000.

It is provided that the family has invested in <em>n</em> = 10 different real estate properties.

Then the mean and standard deviation of amount of money that the family has invested in these 10 different real estate properties is:

\mu_{\bar x}=\mu=\$225,000\\\\\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{50000}{\sqrt{10}}=15811.39

Now the lowest 80% of the amount invested can be represented as follows:

P(\bar X

The value of <em>z</em> is 0.84.

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

Compute the value of the mean amount invested as follows:

\bar x=\mu_{\bar x}+z\cdot \sigma_{\bar x}

   =225000+(0.84\times 15811.39)\\\\=225000+13281.5676\\\\=238281.5676\\\\\approx 238281.57

Thus, the amount of money separating the lowest 80% of the amount invested from the highest 20% in a sampling distribution of 10 of the family's real estate holdings is $238,281.57.
