First, we assume the distribution is normal, since it is not given in the question.

Next, get a Z-table, such as 
stat.ufl.edu/~athienit/Tables/Ztable.pdf
and look through the table for 97% shaded.
The corresponding Z-value should be 1.88 SD (standard deviations) for 96.99%.
Now since
Z=(X-mean)/SD
where 
mean=500, SD=55
Solve for X.

An auditorium has rows of seat 8 seats in each row. Kayla knows there are at least 70 seats but fewer than 150 seats in the audi
yKpoI14uk [10]

The possible number of rows in the auditorium can be 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, or 18

<h3><em><u>Solution:</u></em></h3>

Given that auditorium has rows of seat 8 seats in each row

1 row = 8 seats

Kayla knows there are at least 70 seats but fewer than 150 seats in the auditorium

Let the number of seats be x

Therefore,

70 < x < 150

We know that 1 row has 8 seats

First number after 70 which is divisible by 8 is 72

9 \times 8 = 72

Since 8 is the number of seats in each row so, 9 denotes the number of rows

Last number just before 150 which is divisible by 8

18 \times 8 = 144

Since 8 is the number of seats in each row so, 18 denotes the number of rows

So, the actual number of rows can be between 9 and 18

We can say that possible number of rows can be 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, or 18

A large cheese pizza costs 18 dollars.. Each topping you add on costs $1.50
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

1.50c +18

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant price is 18 dollars, which never changes and for every topping you get, it costs $ 1.50. Since we don't know how many extra toppings are added we write 1.50c.  This shows that the price will be determined by the number of extra toppings added. If you got no toppings, sub in 0 for c to get $ 18 .
