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%

Tommy purchased a riding lawnmower with an original value of $2,500. If the value of the riding lawnmower decreases by $300 per
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

$1000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of years.

We have been given that Tommy purchased a riding lawnmower with an original value of $2,500. The value of the riding lawnmower decreases by $300 per year. We are asked to find the value of lawnmower after 5 years.

Since the value of the riding lawnmower decreases by $300 per year, so value of lawnmower decrease in 5 years would be 5 times $300.

The final value of lawnmower would be initial value minus value decreased in 5 years.

\text{The value of the lawnmower after five years}=\$2500-\$300(5)

\text{The value of the lawnmower after five years}=\$2500-\$1500

\text{The value of the lawnmower after five years}=\$1000

Therefore, the value of lawnmower after  years would be $1000.

If M is the midpoint of AB, find the coordinates of A if M(-3, 5) and B(6, -11)
Luden [163]

midpoint= (x, y)

where x=(x1 + x2)/2

y=(y1 + y2)/2

x1=-3, x2=6, y1=5, y2=-11

so x=(-3 + 6)/2= 3/2

y=(5 + -11)/2= (5-11)/2= -6/2= -3

so mid point =(3/2, -3)

hope this helps
