Answer:

d. 76.98%

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 40000, \sigma = 5000

What percentage of MBA's will have starting salaries of $34,000 to $46,000?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 46000 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 34000. So

X = 46000

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{46000 - 40000}{5000}

Z = 1.2

Z = 1.2 has a pvalue of 0.8849

X = 34000

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{34000 - 40000}{5000}

Z = -1.2

Z = -1.2 has a pvalue of 0.1151

0.8849 - 0.1151 = 0.7698

So the correct answer is:

d. 76.98%

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

11.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the right triangle formed by the tent pole, the ground and the guy rope,  where the guy rope (g) is the hypotenuse.

Applying Pythagoras' identity

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.

g² = 9² + 7² = 81 + 49 = 130 ( take the square root of both sides )

g = \sqrt{130} ≈ 11.4 feet
