Answer:

21.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting from the theory we have the following equation:

fi*P(x

Using the data supplied in the exercise, we have subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation:

P( z \leq \frac{c-1-12}{3.5}) =0.99/fi

solving for "c", knowing that fi is a tabulating value:

\frac{c-13}{3.5}=0.99/fi\\\frac{c-13}{3.5}=2.33\\c-13=2.33*3.5\\c = 8.155 +13\\c = 21.155

therefore the value of c is equal to 21.16

You can buy 20 fluid ounces of shampoo for $4.40 or, you can buy 24 fluid ounces for $4.80 which is the better buy? Please answe
erica [24]

Answer: the 20 fluid ounces is better

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 20 by 4.40 that is 4.54 but if you divide 24 by 4.80 that is 5. You want to divide 20 by 4.40 because 20 is the fluid ounces and 4.40 is the money divide that to get the cost per fluid ounce then you do the same with the 24 fluid ounces and by doing that you get the sot for 1 fluid ounce then look at both of your answers and see which one is less. which one is less is the better one.

PLEASE HELP WITH MATH.BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST. You have to find the volume of the figure below.
castortr0y [4]
Volume = width × height × length. First let's concentrate on the rectangular prism. This has 4 for its height and 5 for its width so you do 4 × 5 (=20) × 10 (because the length of the rectangular prism is the same as the triangular prism, so we will use the length of the triangular one) = 200m³ for the rectangular one. To work out the triangular one, it's the same, but whatever answer you get you divide it by 2 because a triangle is just a rectangle cut in half diagonally. Therefore, 3 × 5 (=15) × 10 = 150. Then divided by 2 = 75m³. Total volume = volume of rectangular prism + triangular prism Therefore total volume = 200 + 75 = 275m³.
