Assume that the readings at freezing on a batch of thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0°C and a standard devia

tion of 1.00°C. A single thermometer is randomly selected and tested. Find P25, the 25-percentile. This is the temperature reading separating the bottom 25% from the top 75%. P25 = °C

Answer:

X \sim N(0,1)  

Where \mu=0 and \sigma=1

So then we can find in the normal standard distribution or in excel a value of Z who accumulates 0.25 of the area below and 0.75 of the area above. We can use the following excel code for example:

="NORM.INV(0.25,0,1)"

And we got = z= -0.674.

So the value of height that separates the bottom 25% of data from the top 75% is -0.674 °C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the readings at freezing of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(0,1)  

Where \mu=0 and \sigma=1

So then we can find in the normal standard distribution or in excel a value of Z who accumulates 0.25 of the area below and 0.75 of the area above. We can use the following excel code for example:

="NORM.INV(0.25,0,1)"

And we got = z= -0.674.

So the value of height that separates the bottom 25% of data from the top 75% is -0.674 °C.

agasfer [191]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

f(3)=2(3)^3-(3)^2-4(3)+9

f(3)=2(27)-(9)-12+9

f(3)=54-21+9

f(3)=33+9

f(3)=42

Demarco and Tanya have received information about three separate mortgage offers. In two or three paragraphs, describe your reco
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Mortgage option (3) would be best suited for them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mortgage option (1) and (2) are more or less the same since, since even if Damarco and Tanya down payments $34,000 (20% of the purchase price), they need to pay the interest for 30 years for both of the cases and even if he pays  about $750   monthly (as for option (1)) or about  $ 9000 annually (as  for option (2))  both may actually be more or less the same amount  since, the annual rate of interest in (2) may increase from the initial rate of 3.5% (but it is very unlikely to increase to over 5%) and option (1) has an annual  fixed rate of interest of 4.25%.

Now, in the option (3) the interest is to be paid for 8 years and the annual rate of interest is also relatively low (only 4%) and if they pay about $18,000 annually with a down-payment of $ 34,000 and  repay the rest of the amount at the end of 8 years,(which would be less than $ 35,000)  they can easily clear their mortgage. Hence, for option (3) they would need to pay lowest total amount and for lowest time to clear the mortgage among the three options. Hence, this would be best suited option for them.
