The probability will be the area under the normal distribution N(27,3^2) from 24 to 32.

We normalize these so we can use the standard normal distribution

z_1 = \dfrac{24 - 27}{3} = -1

z_2 = \dfrac{32-27}{3}=\dfrac 5 3

Typically we'd just use a computer to tell us the integral of the standard normal from -1 to 5/3.  In the old days we'd use the z table.  It tells us the normal integral from 0 to positive z.

We know the integral of the Gaussian from -1 to 1 standard deviation is 68%; from the z table we see the probability from 0 to 1 is half that, <span>0.34134.  That will also be the integral from -1 to 0. 

The z table says the integral from 0 to 5/3, 1.67, is </span><span>0.45254.

So our total probability, integral from -1 to 5/3, is

 </span>p =0.34134+0.45254=0.79388

That's really from z=-1 to z=+1.67 so likely a bit off in the last couple digits.

How do i write an equation in vertex form?
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Vertex form of a quadratic equation is y=a(x-h)2+k, where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

2) The vertex of a parabola is the point at the top or bottom of the parabola.

3) 'h' is -6, the first coordinate in the vertex.

4) 'k' is -4, the second coordinate in the vertex.

5) 'x' is -2, the first coordinate in the other point.

Carlos bought a $235 water heater with his credit card. He used the water heater for five years before replacing it. He paid off
Mazyrski [523]

First we will find the interest on:


P = $235 principal


t = 2 years


r = 0.1415 annual rate


A = future value 


I = A - P the interest


A = P(1 + r)^t


A = 235(1 + 0.1415)^2


A = $306.21


I = A - P


I = $306.21 - $235


I = $71.21


the interest was $71.21.



Next lets find the lifetime cost value:


Lifetime cost value = 306.21 + 5*1.56*52 + 5*0.78*52 = $914.61 (considering that 1 year = 52 weeks)



Now lets find the percentage what percentage the interest is of the lifetime cost:


(71.21/914.61)*100 = 7.79%
