The population of a town increased from 3650 in 2012 to 4700 in 2014. Find the absolute increase.

1 answer:

8 0

Treat this like a slope formula. Y2-y1 divided by x2-x1.
Your y2 value is the second population
Y1= value of first population.
X2= second year they give
X1= first year they give.
4700-3650
_________
2014-2012

1050
____
2

525 is the increase a year

In a recent study on world happiness, participants were asked to evaluate their current lives on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0

Answer:

a) A response of 8.9 represents the 92nd percentile.

b) A response of 6.6 represents the 62nd percentile.

c) A response of 4.4 represents the first quartile.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 5.9

Standard Deviation, σ = 2.2

We assume that the distribution of response is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

a) We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.92

P(X < x)

$P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2})=0.92$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(z$

$\displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2} = 1.405\\x = 8.991 \approx 8.9$

A response of 8.9 represents the 92nd percentile.

b) We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.62

P(X < x)

$P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2})=0.62$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(z$

$\displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2} = 0.305\\x = 6.571 \approx 6.6$

A response of 6.6 represents the 62nd percentile.

c) We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.25

P(X < x)

$P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2})=0.25$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(z$

$\displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2} = -0.674\\x = 4.4172 \approx 4.4$

A response of 4.4 represents the first quartile.

Point A(–4, 2) is reflected over the line x = 3 to create the point A'. What are the coordinates of A'?

iragen [17]

A ( - 4, 2)
Reflected over x = 3.
x = 3 is a vertical line, the point (-4, 2) is 7 units on the left side of the vertical line. When you reflect across the line to the right side we need to be 7 units away from the vertical line on the right side. 3 + 7 = 10
The x value would be 10. (10, 2)

This jar has 1 red, 74 yellow, and 25 green gumballs. What are the chances of picking a green gumball? the red one?

kari74 [83]

Answer: green = 25/100, red = 1/100

Step-by-step explanation: add ALL of the gumballs, there's your denominator, now you have 0/100 (1+74+25), count the amount of marbles you want to get the probability of, lets say green, there's your numerator (25) = 25/100
