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%

Step by step explaination:

Given,

Principal or'P'=N$2500

Time or'n'=3 years & 6 months or 3.5 years

Rate of profit or 'r'=7% or 7/100

Profit or 'I'=?

_____________________________________

We know,

I=P*n*r

I=2500*3.5*7/100

I=612.5

So,simple interest is N$  612.5.

Find the perimeter of a towel thay measures 2 feet by 3/4 foot
levacccp [35]
A typical towel is the shape of a rectangle.
Rectangles have 2 opposite pairs of congruent (equal) sides.
To find perimeter, find the sums of all the sides.

The measures of the towel's sides are:
2 feet
2 feet
3/4 foot
3/4 foot

Add these together to find the perimeter.

2 + 2 + 0.75 + 0.75 = 5.5

The perimeter of the towel is 5.5 feet.

Hope this helps!
