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.

Solve for x In the triangle
Goryan [66]
\boxed {\boxed { \sin(\theta) = \dfrac{\text{opp}}{\text{hyp}} }}

\sin(38 \textdegree) =  \dfrac{x}{11}

x = 11 \times \sin(38 \textdegree)

x = 6.8 \text { units}

I’m so confused so can you help me
Lelu [443]
45²

This says "forty five squared"

Try saying it aloud, it may help to hear it :)

This basically just means to multiply 45 by itself twice.

So, what's 45 times 45? 

Its 2025!

Hope I helped! :)
