For the most recent year available, the mean annual cost to attend a private university in the United States was $20,307. Assume

the distribution of annual costs follows the normal probability distribution and the standard deviation is $4,275.
Ninety-five percent of all students at private universities pay less than what amount? (Round z value to 2 decimal places and your final answer to the nearest whole number. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Answer:

27,361.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 20307, \sigma = 4275

Ninety-five percent of all students at private universities pay less than what amount?

This is the 95th percentile, that is, X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So X when Z = 1.65.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.65 = \frac{X - 20307}{4275}

X - 20307 = 1.65*4275

X = 27,361

So the answer is 27,361.

Use inverse operations and properties of equality to isolate the variable m+31=307
otez555 [7]

ANSWER

m = 276

EXPLANATION

The given equation is

m + 31 = 307

We add the additive inverse of 31 which is -31 to both sides of the equation to get,

m + 31   +  - 31= 307 +  - 31

Simplify;

m +0= 307 - 31

m = 276
