In a recent study on world​ happiness, participants were asked to evaluate their current lives on a scale from 0 to​ 10, where 0

represents the worst possible life and 10 represents the best possible life. The mean response was 5.9 with a standard deviation of 2.2.
​(a) What response represents the 92nd ​percentile? ​

(b) What response represents the 62nd ​percentile?

Answer:

a) A response of 8.9 represents the 92nd ​percentile.

b) A response of 6.6 represents the 62nd ​percentile.

c) A response of 4.4 represents the first ​quartile.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 5.9

Standard Deviation, σ = 2.2

We assume that the distribution of response is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.92

P(X < x)  

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2})=0.92

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(z

\displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2} = 1.405\\x = 8.991 \approx 8.9

A response of 8.9 represents the 92nd ​percentile.

b) We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.62

P(X < x)  

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2})=0.62

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(z

\displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2} = 0.305\\x = 6.571 \approx 6.6

A response of 6.6 represents the 62nd ​percentile.

c) We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.25

P(X < x)  

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2})=0.25

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(z

\displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2} = -0.674\\x = 4.4172 \approx 4.4

A response of 4.4 represents the first ​quartile.

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The number of possible dinner specials are 4368.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of dinner specials = 5

They include appetizer, a salad, an entree, a side dish, and a dessert.

Possible items to choose from = 16.

They are 1. Appetizer Chicken strips, 2. Shrimp cocktail, 3. Buffalo wings, 4. Potato skins, 5. Salad Garden, 6. Caesar Entree T-bone steak, 7. Pot roast, 8. Lamb Side dish Corn, 9. Rice, 10. French fries, 11. Baked potato, 12. Pinto beans, 13. Dessert Chocolate cake, 14. Brownies, 15. Ice cream, 16. Apple pie

This is a combination problem requiring a combination solution with the following formula and steps:

C (n, r) =? C (n, r) = ?

n choose r

n (objects) =  16

r (sample) =  5

C (n, r) =? C (n, r) = ?

C (n, r) =C (14,5) C (n, r) =C (16,5)

=16! (5! (16−5)!) =16! (5! (16−5)!)

= 4368

IgorC [24]

Answer:

$25.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 85% of $30, we can simply multiply the usual price, $30, by the decimal form of the percentage.

The decimal form of 85% is .85.

Now, multiply.

30*.85=25.5

The sale price of the backpack is $25.5.

Hope this helps!
