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?

​(c) What response represents the first ​quartile?

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.

Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of linear equations 1/2x-3/4y=11/60 and 2/5x+1/6y=3/10
natka813 [3]

ANSWER

( \frac{2}{3} , \frac{1}{5} )

EXPLANATION

The first equation is

\frac{1}{2} x -  \frac{3}{4} y =  \frac{11}{60} ...(1)

The second equation is

\frac{2}{5} x  +  \frac{1}{6} y =  \frac{3}{10} ...(2)

We want to eliminate y, so we multiply the first equation by

\frac{4}{5}

\frac{4}{5}  \times \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{4}{5}    \times \frac{3}{4} y =  \frac{11}{60}  \times  \frac{4}{5}

\frac{2}{5} x - \frac{3}{5} y =  \frac{11}{75} ...(3)

We now subtract equation (3) from (2)

(\frac{2}{3} x  -  \frac{2}{3} x )+ ( \frac{1}{6} y -  -  \frac{3}{5}y ) =(  \frac{3}{10}  -  \frac{11}{75} )

\frac{1}{6} y  +  \frac{3}{5}y  =\frac{3}{10}  -  \frac{11}{75}

\frac{23}{30}y =  \frac{23}{150}

Multiply both sides by

\frac{30}{23}

\implies \:  \frac{30}{23} \times  \frac{23}{30}y=  \frac{23}{150}  \times  \frac{30}{23}

\implies \: y =  \frac{1}{5}

Substitute into the first equation to solve for x .

\frac{1}{2} x -  \frac{3}{4}  \times \frac{1}{5} =  \frac{11}{60}

Multiply to obtain

\frac{1}{2} x -  \frac{3}{20} =  \frac{11}{60}

\frac{1}{2} x = \frac{11}{60} + \frac{3}{20}

\frac{1}{2} x = \frac{1}{3}

Multiply both sides by 2.

2 \times \frac{1}{2} x =2 \times  \frac{1}{3}

x = \frac{2}{3}

The solution is

( \frac{2}{3} , \frac{1}{5} )

Sybille makes and sells candles for her Possible Project business. Sybille sells multi-scented candles for $3 each and single-sc
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

24 multi-scented candles

10 single-scented candles

Step-by-step explanation:

There was no question, so I am going to assume that you want to know how many of each type of candles were sold.

Let m = no. of multi-scented candles

     s = no. of single-scented candles

(1)      m + s = 34             (2)   3m + 2s = 92      

               s = 34 - m              3m + 2(34 - m) = 92

                                              3m + 68 - 2m = 92

                                                  m + 68 = 92

                                                           m = 24

              s = 34 - 24 = 10
