Answer:

The z-score for this kernel is -2.3

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise how to find the z-score

- The rule the z-score is z = (x - μ)/σ , where

# x is the score

# μ is the mean

# σ is the standard deviation

* Lets solve the problem

- The popping-times of the kernels in a certain brand of microwave

popcorn are normally distributed

- The mean is 150 seconds

- The standard deviation is 10 seconds

- The first kernel pops is 127 seconds

- We want to find the z-score for this kernel

∵ z-score = (x - μ)/σ

∵ x = 127

∵ μ = 150

∵ σ = 10

∴ z-score = (127 - 150)/10 = -23/10 = -2.3

* The z-score for this kernel is -2.3

How to draw x is less than and equal to 11/5 on number line?

Nikitich [7]

First, write out the statement as an inequality so that it looks like this: x≤11/5
Then you graph it on a number line, and since you know anything greater/less than or equal to is a closed circle since it includes the value 11/5, you would plot a closed circle on 11/5 on a number line and draw and arrow pointing towards the left to show that only values 11/5 or under can satisfy x.

In a toy store, the ratio of the number of dolls to the number of teddy bears is . If the store has 240 dolls, how many teddy

forsale [732]

Answer:

So, the way a ratio works is "for every 1 of this, we have 4 of this" for example. (the ratio I just described would be 1:4.)

I believe I've seen this question before. If the ratio of dolls to teddy bears is 9:3 then for every 9 dolls you have 3 teddy bears.

So, since we have 240 dolls and a 9:3 ratio to teddy bears, all we have to do is take how many dolls we have (240) and divide it by 3 to see how many teddy bears we have.

So:

240 ÷ 3 = 80

If your ratio is 9:3, then 80 is your answer.

Hope this helps and have a nice day!

The prices of consumer goods do not always exactly follow the CPI. The following chart shows several consumer items, along with

The reasonable estimate of the current customer price index is 195. The option B is the correct option.

<h3>Customer price index</h3>

Customer price index is the price index which measures the weight average of price of basket of customers goods or services.

It can be given as,

$\rm CPI_t=\dfrac{C_t}{C_0}\times 100$

Here $\rm C_t$ is the cost of market basket in current period and $\rm C_0$ is the cost of market basket in the base period.

Cost of market basket in current period is

$\rm C_t=15.66+119.75+23.99+37.50\\\\C_t=196.9$

Cost of market basket in 1983 is,

$\rm C_0=8.85+71.25+13.95+22.7\\\\C_0=116.8$

Substitute all the values in the formula

$\rm CPI_t=\dfrac{C_t}{C_0}\times 100\\\\\rm CPI_t=\dfrac{196.9}{116.8}\times 100\\\\\rm CPI_t=1.685\times 100 \\\\ CPI_t=168.5\\\\\rm CPI_t= 170 \ \rm approx$

Thus the value of current CPI is 168.5 which is near about the 170.

Hence, the reasonable estimate of the current customer price index is 195. The option B is the correct option.
