The two z-scores are -1.53 and 1.53

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the two z-scores that separate the middle 87.4% of the distribution from the area in the tails of the standard normal distribution

  1. Assume that z-score is between -c and c ⇒ P(-c < z < c) = the given value
  2. Find the value of P(z < -c or z > c) = 1 - the given value
  3. P(z < -c) + P(z > c) = the answer of the previous step
  4. 2*P(z < -c) = the answer of the previous step
  5. Find the value of P(z < -c)
  6. In the z-table having area to the left of z, look for the value closest to the value of P(z < -c) inside the table to find the closest value of z

∵ P(-c < z < c) = 87.4%

∵ 87.4% = 87.4 ÷ 100 = 0.874

∴ P(-c < z < c) = 0.874

∵ P(z > c) = 1 - 0.874 = 0.126

∴ P(z < -c) + P(z > c) = 0.126

∵ P(z > c) = P(z < -c)

∴ P(z < -c) + P(z < -c) = 0.126

∴ 2*P(z < -c) = 0.126

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ P(z < -c) = 0.063

Let us use the z-table to find the corresponding values of

z to 0.063

∵ The corresponding value of z to 0.063 = -1.53

∴ The two z-scores = -1.53 and 1.53

The attached figure for more understand

The two z-scores are -1.53 and 1.53

40 POINTS THERE IS MORE THAN 1 ANSWER BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT
mash [69]

Answer:

Whole numbers are also integers. There are other integers which are the opposites of the whole numbers (−1, −2, −3, ...). These negative numbers lie to the left of 0 on the number line. Integers are the whole numbers and their opposites.

Mis Meyer's paid $3600 all together for the equipment, furniture and decorations for her restaurant. The equipment cost $500 mor
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The equipment will cost $1740.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Cost of equipment, furniture and decoration be x, y and z.

Now, According to question,

x + y + z = 3600 ...... (1)  (cost of all items)

x = 500 + y (∵ equipment cost 500 more than furniture)

and y = 2z ( ∵ furniture twice as much as decoration)

so, z = y/2

Now substituting the value of x and z in eq (1)

x + y + z = 3600

500 + y + y + \frac{y}{2} = 3600

2y + \frac{y}{2} = 3600 - 500

\frac{5y}{2} = 3100

y = \frac{3100\times 2}{5} = 1240

So, the cost of furniture (y) = 1240

∴ Cost of equipment = y + 500 = 1240 + 500 = 1740

Therefore the cost of equipment was $1740.
