Answer:

(a) The probability that his height is less than 66 inches is 0.2743.

(b) The probability that the height is between 66 and 71 inches is 0.4679.

(c) The probability that the height is more than 71 inches is 0.2578.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data given in the question is:

Mean (μ) = 68.4

Standard Deviation (σ) = 4

Let X denote the height of men. We will use the normal distribution z-score formula to calculate the z-score and then look up the probability in the normal probability distribution table. The z-score formula is:

z = (X - μ)/σ

(a) For P(X<66), first calculate the z value.

z = (66-68.4)/4

z = -0.6 (Look up this value in the standard normal distribution table)

P(z<-0.6) = 0.2743

The probability that his height is less than 66 inches is 0.2743.

(b) P(66<X<71)  = P(X<71) - P(X<66)

We need to find P(X<71) so, calculating the z-value:

z = (71-68.4)/4

z = 0.65

P(z<0.65) = 0.7422

P(66<X<71)  = 0.7422 - 0.2743

P(66<X<71)  = 0.4679

The probability that the height is between 66 and 71 inches is 0.4679.

(c) To find the probability P(X>71), we need to find P(X<71) and then subtract it from 1 because the normal distribution table gives values for P(X<k). We have already calculated the value of P(X<71) in part (b) so,

P(X>71) = 1 - P(X<71)

            = 1 - 0.7422

P(X>71) = 0.2578

The probability that the height is more than 71 inches is 0.2578.

After examining daily receipts over the past year, it was found that the green parrot italian restaurant has been grossing over
denpristay [2]

Complete question is;

After examining daily receipts over the past year, it was found that the green parrot italian restaurant has been grossing over $2200 a day for about 85% of it's business days. Using this as a reasonably accurate measure, find the probability that the green parrot will gross over $2200:

A. At least 5 of the next 7 business days.

B. at least 5 of the next 10 business days.

C. less than 3 of the next 5 business days.

d. Exactly 7 of the next 10 business days

e. At least 1 of the next 5 business days.

Answer:

A) P(X ≥ 5) = 0.9262

B) P(X ≥ 5) = 0.9986

C) P(X ≤ 2) = 0.0266

D) P(X = 7) = 0.1298

E) P(X ≥ 1) = 0.9999

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial probability distribution problem and as such we will use the formula;

P(X = k) = C(n, k) × p^(k) × (1 - p)^(n - k)

A. At least 5 of the next 7 business days will be;

P (X ≥ 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7)

P(X = 5) = C(7, 5) × 0.85^(5) × (1 - 0.85)^(7 - 5)

P(X = 5) = 0.20965

P(X = 6) = C(7, 6) × 0.85^(6) × (1 - 0.85)^(7 - 6)

P(X = 6) = 0.396

P(X = 7) = C(7, 7) × 0.85^(7) × (1 - 0.85)^(7 - 7)

P(X = 7) = 0.320577

Thus;

P(X ≥ 5) = 0.20965 + 0.396 + 0.320577

P(X ≥ 5) = 0.9262

B. Probability of at least 5 of the next 10 business days will be;

P(X ≥ 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

From online binomial calculator attached, we can see that the answer is;

P(X ≥ 5) = 0.9986

C. Probability of less than 3 of the next 5 business days will be;

P(X ≤ 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

From online binomial calculator attached, we can see that the answer is;

P(X ≤ 2) = 0.0266

D. Probability of exactly 7 of the next 10 business days will be;

P(X = 7) = C(10, 7) × 0.85^(7) × (1 - 0.85)^(10 - 7)

P(X = 7) = 0.1298

e. Probability of at least 1 of the next 5 business days will be;

P(X ≥ 1) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)

From third image attached using online binomial calculator, we have;

P(X ≥ 1) = 0.9999

Talon made 75 percent of his free throws during lunch. If he made 15 free throws, how many total shots did he take?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>15</u> = <u>75</u>    

x      100       (then cross multiply below)                              

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

<u>1,500</u> = <u>75x </u>

75           75

Ebonie invests in $2500 today in an account earning 7%. How much will she have in 5 years?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Amount she Receive in 5 years = $3506.37

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in question as

Ebonie invests amount in account = P = $2500

The interest rate she will have = 7%

The amount will keep in account for 5 years

Now we apply compound interest (CI ) to determine how much she will receive after 5 years ,

So , for CI

Amount = principal ( 1 + \frac{Rate}{100} ^ T     ,where T is Time

So, A = 2500 ( 1 +\frac{7}{100})^5

Or, A = 2500 (1.40255)

Or, A = $3506.37

Hence Amount she will receive $ 3506.37  Answer
