The answer should be 43
51 x 3 = 153
153-60-50=43
Answer:
Top 10%: 5.35 millimeters
Bottom 10%: 5.17 millimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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 problem, we have that:

Top 10%
X when Z has a pvalue of 1-0.1 = 0.9. So X when Z = 1.28.




Bottom 10%
X when Z has a pvalue of 0.1. So X when Z = -1.28




-2, 0, 2, and 4 are the x values. To find y, we must substitute x for each of these values in y = -3/2x + 2.
-3/2 times -2 = 3. 3 + 2 = 5. The y value that goes with -2 in the table is 5.
-3/2 times 0 = 0. 0 + 2 = 2. The y value that goes with 0 is 2.
-3/2 times 2 = -3. -3 + 2 = -1. The y value that goes with 2 is -1.
-3/2 times 4 = -6. -6 + 2 = -4. The y value that goes with 4 is -4.
So, the table/coordinates are:
(-2, 5)
(0, 2)
(2, -1)
(4, -4)
I hope this makes the process clear.
Answer: desktop = $1750, laptop = $1900
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the cost of the desktop
then x + 150 is the cost of the laptop.
.07x + .055(x + 150) = 227
.07x + .055x + 8.25 = 227
.125x = 218.75
x = 1750
desktop (x) = $1750
laptop (x + 150) = $1750 + $150 = $1900
