Answer: a. $1392

b. 31.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

a. What was Joe's capital loss?

Cost price = $22.07 × 200 = $4414

Selling price = $15.11 × 200 = $3022

Capital loss = $3022 - $4414

= -$1392

b. Express Joe's capital loss as a percent, rounded to the nearest percent.

= Capital loss/Cost price × 100

= 1392/4414 × 100

= 31.5%

Assume that the heights of boys in a high school basketball tournament are normally distributed, with mean 70 inches and standar

Annette [7]

Answer: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that the heights of boys in a high school basketball tournament are normally distributed.

Given : Mean height of boys : $\mu=70$ inches.

Standard deviation: $\sigma=2.5$ inches.

Let x denotes the heights of boys in a high school basketball tournament .

Then the probability that a boy is taller than 70 inches will be :-

$P(x> 70)=1-P(x\leq70)\\\\=1-P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\leq\dfrac{70-70}{2.5})\\\\=1-P(z\leq0)=1-0.5=0.5\ \ \text{[by using z-value table]}$

Now, the expected number of boys in a group of 40 who are taller than 70 inches will be :-

$40\times0.5=20$

Hence, the expected number of boys in a group of 40 who are taller than 70 inches=20
