Answer:

Company B

Step-by-step explanation:

We would use z score formula

z = (x - μ) / σ

x = raw score

μ = mean

σ = Standard deviation

let x = 260 with the mean μ1 = 276 and standard deviation σ = 5.8

let x = 260 with the mean μ2 = 252 and standard deviation σ = 3.4

z1 = (x- μ1) / σ = (260- 276) / 5.8 = -2.7586206897 = -2.76

z2 = (x2 - μ) / σ = (260 -252) / 3.4= 2.3529411765 = 2.35

Comparing the two z scores, we can see that company B has the probability of producing 260 nails because it has a z score of 2.35 compared to company A with a z score of -2.76.

Choose where it is a function or not a function also choose what is the range and the domain
kow [346]
Not a function because of the vertical line test.
Domain is [-2,∞] since the left most point is -2 and the right is unbounded.
Range is (-∞,∞) since it is not bounded in terms of y.

The new balance of a charge account is $145.00. The minimum payment is $20.00. If the interest rate is 1.5%, how much will the n
juin [17]
The balance is $145 but after one makes he minimum payment of $20, there is $125 left to pay. However interest is added before the next month’s bill is generated.

Remember that percent means out of 100. 1.5% means 1.5/100 = .015

To find 1.5% of 125 we multiply (.015)(125) = 1.875 But as this is money the interest is rounded to two decimal places and so is $1.88

We add this to 125 to get next month’s balance which is 125 + 1.88 = $126.88
