Answer:

P(X>200)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{200-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{200-185}{25})=P(Z>0.6)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard table or excel:

P(Z>0.6)=1-P(z

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the average household spent of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(185,25)  

Where \mu=185 and \sigma=25

We are interested on this probability

P(X>200)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>200)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{200-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{200-185}{25})=P(Z>0.6)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard table or excel:

P(Z>0.6)=1-P(z

3/7 x =5/14<br> solve for X
Paul [167]

Answer:

\frac{5}{6} = x

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3}{7}x = \frac{5}{14} \\ \\ \frac{5}{14} \div \frac{3}{7} = \frac{5}{14} \times \frac{7}{3} = \frac{35}{42} = \frac{5}{6}

Use multiplication [inverse of division] to figure this out.

Can you help me on this question 6(r-8)=8r-36
erastova [34]

Answer:

r = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

6(r - 8) = 8r - 36

distribute 6 into r - 8

6r - 48 = 8r - 36

add 36 to both sides

6r - 12 = 8r

subtract 6r from both sides

-12 = 2r

divide by 2 on both sides

-6 = r

Explain answer <br> GIVING BRAINIEST
AveGali [126]

Answer:

The slope of the line is 2. To find the slope I marked two points on the line, which were (-3, 0) and (-2, 2). Then I used the \frac{Rise}{Run} technique. Moving up 2 units and to the right 1 unit, which would be represented by \frac{2}{1}.

This means that if it were a -7, it would become positive because it is under absolute value bars...since it is positive nothing changes
