The mean number of words per minute (WPM) read by sixth graders is 81 with a standard deviation of 17 WPM. If 130 sixth graders

are randomly selected, what is the probability that the sample mean would be greater than 77.21 WPM? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answer:

The probability that the sample mean would be greater than 77.21 WPM = 0.9945

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean number of Words per Minute  = u  = 81

Standard Deviation = s = 17

sample size = n = 130

Target value = x = 77.21

we can find the probability by converting <u>x</u> to z-score.

The formula for z-score = \frac{x-u}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }

using given values, z-score =  \frac{77.21-81}{\frac{17}{\sqrt{130} } }

=> -2.54

using the z table, we can find the find the probability of -2.54, that is 0.9945.

Therefore, the probability that the sample mean would be greater than 77.21 WPM = 0.9945

The height of a ball thrown vertically upward from a rooftop is modelled by h(t)= -4.8t^2 + 19.9t +55.3 where h (t) is the balls
nikitadnepr [17]

By applying the <em>quadratic</em> formula and discriminant of the <em>quadratic</em> formula, we find that the <em>maximum</em> height of the ball is equal to 75.926 meters.

<h3>How to determine the maximum height of the ball</h3>

Herein we have a <em>quadratic</em> equation that models the height of a ball in time and the <em>maximum</em> height represents the vertex of the parabola, hence we must use the <em>quadratic</em> formula for the following expression:

- 4.8 · t² + 19.9 · t + (55.3 - h) = 0

The height of the ball is a maximum when the discriminant is equal to zero:

19.9² - 4 · (- 4.8) · (55.3 - h) = 0

396.01 + 19.2 · (55.3 - h) = 0

19.2 · (55.3 - h) = -396.01

55.3 - h = -20.626

h = 55.3 + 20.626

h = 75.926 m

By applying the <em>quadratic</em> formula and discriminant of the <em>quadratic</em> formula, we find that the <em>maximum</em> height of the ball is equal to 75.926 meters.

A bank loaned out $8200, part of it at a rate of 7.9% per year and the rest of it at a rate of 7.4% per year. The total amount o
Lady bird [3.3K]

The amount that the bank loaned out at 7.9% is $1,574.00

How do represent the amounts lent at different rates?

On the assumption that x amount was loaned at 7.9% and that the remaining amount, (8,200-x) was loan out at 7.4%, we can determine the interest charged on each loan as the loan multiplied by the interest rate

interest on 7.9% loan=7.9%*x=0.079x

interest on 7.4% loan=7.4%*(8200-x)

interest on 7.4% loan=606.80-0.074x

total interest=0.079x+606.80-0.074x

total interest=0.005x+606.80

total interest on loans=614.67

614.67=0.005x+606.80

614.67-606.80=0.005x

7.87=0.005x

x=7.87/0.005

x=amount loaned at 7.9%=$1,574.00

y=$8200-$1574

y=$6,626.00
