Answer:

2.87%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information:

mean (m) = 200

standard deviation (sd) = 50

sample size = n = 40

the probability that their mean is above 21.5 is determined as follows:

P (x> 21.5) = P [(x - m) / (sd / n ^ (1/2))> (21.5 - 200) / (50/40 ^ (1/2))]

P (x> 21.5) = P (z> -22.57)

this value is very strange, therefore I suggest that it is not 21.5 but 215, therefore it would be:

P (x> 215) = P [(x - m) / (sd / n ^ (1/2))> (215 - 200) / (50/40 ^ (1/2))]

P (x> 215) = P (z> 1.897)

P (x> 215) = 1 - P (z <1.897)

We look for this value in the attached table of z and we have to:

P (x> 215) = 1 - 0.9713 (attached table)

P (x> 215) =.0287

Therefore the probability is approximately 2.87%

When eight times an unknown number is decreased by 208 the result is four times the unknown number.
Naddika [18.5K]
I think

This is your typical algebra question where you are looking for an unknown value given some information. The information can be set up as:
8 - x = 4*(x +3)

Distribute the 4:
8 - x = 4x + 12

Rearrange to get variables on one side:
8 - 12 = 4x + x

Simplifiy:
-4 = 5x

Isolate the variable:
-4/5 = x

32.323232 as a fraction in simplest form
Step2247 [10]

Let x = 32.323232…

Then 100x = 3232.323232…

It follows that

100x - x = 3232.323232… - 32.323232…

99x = 3200

x = 3200/99

<h3>Answer: Choice C) $1,444.50</h3>

========================================================

There are two methods to get the answer.

The slightly longer method is to take 7% of the original price to get

7% of 1350 = (7/100)*1350 = 0.07*1350 = 94.50

The sales tax is $94.50

Add this onto the original price to get 1,350+94.50 = 1,444.50

----------------------------

A shortcut is to multiply the original price by 1.07

The multiplier 1.07 represents a 7% increase since

  • 1 = 100%
  • 0.07 = 7%
  • 1.07 = 1 + 0.7 = 100% + 7%

So we will have 1.07*1350 = 1,444.50
