Answer:

6.18% of the class has an exam score of A- or higher.

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:

\mu = 80, \sigma = 6.5

What percentage of the class has an exam score of A- or higher (defined as at least 90)?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 90. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{90 - 80}{6.5}

Z = 1.54

Z = 1.54 has a pvalue of 0.9382

1 - 0.9382 = 0.0618

6.18% of the class has an exam score of A- or higher.

Which function is the inverse of f(x) = 2x + 3 ?<br> Help
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The inverse is 1/2x -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y =2x+3

Exchange x and y

x = 2y+3

Solve for y, subtracting 3 from each side

x-3 = 2y+3-3

x-3 =2y

Divide each side by 2

(x-3)/2 = 2y/2

1/2x - 3/2 =y

The inverse is 1/2x -3/2

Interest depends a lot on the compounding period.
Since the period is exactly 4 months, we assume
APR=8%
monthly interest=8/12%=0.00666667
Interest due in 4 months
=7000[(1+0.08/12)^4-1]
=7000[0.0269345]
=$188.54
