Answer:

The sales level that has only a 3% chance of being exceeded next year is $3.67 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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 question, we have that:

In millions of dollars,

\mu = 3.2, \sigma = 0.25

Determine the sales level that has only a 3% chance of being exceeded next year.

This is the 100 - 3 = 97th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.97. So X when Z = 1.88.

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

1.88 = \frac{X - 3.2}{0.25}

X - 3.2 = 0.25*1.88

X = 3.67

The sales level that has only a 3% chance of being exceeded next year is $3.67 million.

Find the LCD (least common denominator)
\frac{5}{6}  and  \frac{1}{4}

it would be 12 (6x2=12 and 4x3=12)

so you multiply \frac{5}{6} by 2 and get \frac{10}{12}
then multiply \frac{1}{4} by 3 and get \frac{3}{12}

you get 3 WHOLE servings from \frac{5}{6} cups of icecream

Solve the following using distributive property:<br>9(x+3)=4x-3​
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

x = -6

Explanation:

⇒ 9(x + 3) = 4x - 3​

apply distributive method: a(b + c) = ab + ac

⇒ 9(x) + 9(3) = 4x - 3

multiply variables

⇒ 9x + 27 = 4x - 3

collect like terms

⇒ 9x - 4x = -3 - 27

subtract like terms

⇒ 5x = -30

divide both sides by 5

⇒ x = -6
