In the last quarter of​ 2007, a group of 64 mutual funds had a mean return of 4.8​% with a standard deviation of 5.8​%. If a nor

mal model can be used to model​ them, what percent of the funds would you expect to be in each​ region? Use the​ 68-95-99.7 rule to approximate the probabilities rather than using technology to find the values more precisely. Be sure to draw a picture first. ​a) Returns of 10.6​% or more ​b) Returns of 4.8​% or less ​c) Returns between negative 12.6​% and 22.2​% ​d) Returns of more than 16.4​%

Answer:

a) 16%; b) 50%; c) 99.7%; d) 2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

In a normal curve, the empirical rule states that 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean.  This means for this problem, 68/2 = 34% of data falls from

4.8-5.8 = -1 to 4.8, and 34% falls from 4.8 to

4.8+5.8 = 10.6.

95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean.  This includes the 68%; this means this leaves 95-68 = 27/2 = 13.5% to fall from

-1-5.8 = -6.8 to -1, and 13.5% falls from 10.6 to

10.6+5.8 = 16.4.

99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations of the mean.  This includes the 95%; this means this leaves 99.7-95 = 4.7/2 = 2.35% to fall from

-6.8-5.8 = -12.6 to -6.8, and 2.35% falls from 16.4 to

16.4+5.8 = 22.2.

This leaves 100-99.7 = 0.3/2 = 0.15% to fall from the left end to -12.6, and 0.15% to fall from 22.2 to the right end.

For part a,

For returns of 10.6 or more, we would add everything above this value:

13.5+2.35+0.15 = 16%.

For part b,

Since 4.8 is the mean, 50% of data falls below this.

For part c,

-12.6 is 3 standard deviations from the mean, and 22.2 is 3 standard deviations from the mean.  This means that 99.7% of the data falls between these values.

For part d,

We add together all values above 16.4:  2.35+0.15 = 2.5%

The combination lock has three wheels, each numbered from 0 to 9. What is the probability that someone randomly guesses the corr
Karolina [17]
Since it is not mentioned in the problem, we will assume that repeating of number is allowed.
For the first wheel, you have 10 possible digits.
For the second wheel, you have 10 possible digits.
For the third wheel, you have 10 possible digits.
10 x 10 x 10 = 1000
The probability that someone randomly guesses the correct combination in his first attempt is 1/1000.

If this was without repeat, then 
10*9*8 = 720
The probability that someone randomly guesses the correct combination in his first attempt is 1/720.

The circumference of circle p is 800 mm, the circumference of circle q is 200 cm, and the circumference of circle r is 4 m. What
shepuryov [24]

Let us use the following conversions:

1 cm = 10 mm

1 meter = 100 cm = 1000 mm

Given:

p = 800 mm

q = 200 cm = 2000 mm

r= 4 m = 4000

X = sum of the distance around each circle

X = p+q+r

X = 800+2000+4000

<span>X = 6800 mm or 680 cm or 6.80 m</span>

PLEASE HELP FOR 20 POINTS
Furkat [3]

Answer:

$15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let bushes = b and trees = t.

We can write:

12b + 15t = 600 (Equation 1)

8b + 20t = 680 (Equation 2)

24b + 30t = 1200 (Equation 3 -- Multiply Equation 1 by 2)

24b + 60t = 2040 (Equation 4 -- Multiply Equation 2 by 3)

30t = 840 (Subtract Equation 3 from 4)

t = 28 (Divide by 30)

12b + 15 * 28 = 600 (Substitute t = 28 into Equation 1)

12b = 180 (Simplify)

b = 15 (Divide by 12)

What is the value of x?​
maria [59]

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, use the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

7^2 + 24^2 = c^2

49 + 576 = c^2

625 = c^2

25 = c
