Answer:

the probability that two 18 year old boys chosen at random will have heights greater than 185cm is 0.403

Step-by-step explanation:

P( x > 193) = 0.15

= 1- p(x less than or equal 193)

= 1 -p( z < (x- u) /sigma)

= 1- p( z< (193 - 187)/ sigma)

= 1- p( z< 6/ sigma)

P(z< 6/sigma) = 1 - 0.15

P(z < 6/sigma)= 0.85

6/sigma =1.036

Sigma= 6/1.036

Sigma= 5.79

P( x> 185) = 1- p( x< 185)

= 1- p (z < (185- 187)/5.79)

= 1- p( z< -0.345)

= 1- 0.365

= 0.635

P (x> 185) = 0.635 × 0.635

=0.403

Sam bought a used car for $8,000. He boasted that he got a great deal since the value of the car two years ago
vivado [14]

Answer:

V(t) = 15,000*(0.75)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value is $15,000, and if it depreciates 25% per year, that means that for each year the value will be 0.75 of the value of the previous year. The next year, the value will be 0.75 of the previous, which will be o.75x0.75 of the initial value, or (0.75)².

So, for t years:

V(t) = 15,000*(0.75)^t
