Answer:
- Invest $8,470 in X
- Invest $2,530 in Y.
Explanation:
The following expressions can be formed;
Let x and y be the proportions
x + y = 1
0.15x + 0.1y = 13.85%
Expressing y in terms of x;
x + y = 1
y = 100 - x
0.15x + 0.1 ( 1 - x) = 13.85%
0.15x + 0.1 - 0.1x = 13.85%
0.05x = 13.85% - 0.1
x = 13.85%0.05 - 0.1/0.05
x = 77%
Invest 77% in X = 77% * 11,000
= $8,470
Invest in Y
= 11,000 - 8,470
= $2,530

Answer:
A. 0.3204 B. $14.669
Explanation:
Mean = 8.9 SD = 4.5
Required probability = P (X >/= 550/50)
P(X>/=11) = 1 - P[(X - mean/SD) < (11 - mean)/SD]
= 1 - P(Z < (11-8.9)/4.5)
P(X>/=11) = 1 - P(Z < 0.4666667)
Using Excel NORMDIST(0.4666667,0,1,1)
P(X>/=11) = 1 - 0.6796 = 0.3204
The probability that she will earn at least $550 = 0.3204
b. P
(
X > x
) = 0.10
1 − P
(
X − mean)/SD ≤ (x − mean)
/SD = 0.10
P
(
Z ≤ z
) = 0.90
Where,
z = (x − mean
)/SD
Excel function for the value of z:
=NORMSINV(0.9)
=1.282
Hence (x - mean)/SD = 1.282
= (x - 8.9)/4.5 = 1.282
x = (1.282*4.5) + 8.9
x = 14.669
He earns $14.669 on the best 10% of such weekends.
