D is false.

-1 = -(-1)

When you negate the negative on the left, you get a positive 1, not a negative 1.

A company has a break even point in revenue at 800,000. Variable costs are 60% of the revenue. If the company lost 40,000 last y

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: A company has 440000 as revenue.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total revenue a company earned = 800000

Variable costs = 60% of revenue

So , variable costs becomes

$\frac{60}{100}\times 800000\\=480000$

Now, company lost = 40000

So, remaining revenue becomes

$480000-40000=440000$

So, a company has 440000 as revenue.

Jared wants to save $100 to buy a tennis racket. He saves $8 each week, and his mother gives him an extra $0.25 for each dollar

scoundrel [369]

If he saves $ 8 each week...and his mom is giving him 0.25 for each dollar, then he will have (8 + 0.25(8)) = 8 + 2 = $ 10 per week

10w = 100.....with w being the number of weeks
w = 100/10
w = 10...so he will have it in 10 weeks <==

Cholesterol level has a Normal distribution N(170,30), find the first quartile.

geniusboy [140]

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, the quartile is a measurement of the spread of values within a dataset above and below the mean via a division of the distribution into four defined intervals. A quartile partitions the data at three points within the distribution.

25% of the data lies below the lower or first quartile, denoted as $Q_{1}$ .

50% of the data lies below the median or second quartile, denoted as $Q_{2}$ .

75% of the data lies below the upper or third quartile, denoted as $Q_{3}$ .

Thus, logically, we know that the remaining 25% of the data lies above the third quartile.

As shown in the figure below, the score that defines the first quartile of the defined normal distribution is the same as the score that, when evaluated in the cumulative density function, $\Phi$ , gives 25% of the area under the bell curve.

To find this z-score, we can use the help of the NORM.INV function in Microsoft Excel, which obtains the inverse of the normal cumulative distribution and the syntax, type into a cell, is as follows:

$=\text{NORM.INV(0.25, 170, 30)}$
