Answer:

22.96% probability that a hotel room costs between $250.00 and $285.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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 = 244, \sigma = 55

What is the probability that a hotel room costs between $250.00 and $285.00?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 285 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 250. So

X = 285

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

Z = \frac{285 - 244}{55}

Z = 0.75

Z = 0.75 has a pvalue of 0.7734

X = 250

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

Z = \frac{250 - 244}{55}

Z = 0.11

Z = 0.11 has a pvalue of 0.5438

0.7734 - 0.5438 = 0.2296

22.96% probability that a hotel room costs between $250.00 and $285.00

Solve the equation using the quadratic formula : x^2-10x+25=18
Sever21 [200]
x^2-10x+25=18 \\ \\x^2-10x+25-18 = 0\\ \\ x^2-10x+ 7 =0 \\ \\a=1 , b = -10 , c= 7 \\ \\ \Delta = b^{2}-4ac = (-10)^{2}-4*1*7=100-28 = 72 \\ \\\sqrt{\Delta }=\sqrt{72}= \sqrt{2*36} =\sqrt{36}*\sqrt{2} =6\sqrt{2}

x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{10- 6\sqrt{2}}{2}=\frac{2(5-3\sqrt{2})}{2}= 5-3\sqrt{2}\\ \\x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{10+ 6\sqrt{2}}{2}=\frac{2(5+3\sqrt{2})}{2}= 5+3\sqrt{2}


Answer : \ x= 5-3\sqrt{2} \ \ or \ \ x = 5+3\sqrt{2}
