Answer:
Part A
12 months a year means
%74.5 x 12 = $894
Part B
4 weeks in a month means
$74.5 ÷ 4 = $18.625
But rounded to the nearest penny. . .
$18.62
because in the thousandths place was a 5 and you round up when there is a 5 or above
Part C
We will go with 31 days in a month, but I will also do 30 for you
$74.5 ÷ 30 = $2.48333
But rounded to the nearest penny. . .
$2.48
because you round down when there is anything less than a 4
$74.5 ÷ 31 = $2.40322580645
But rounded to the nearest penny. . .
$2.40
because you round down when there is anything less than a 4
< means 'less than'. 3.5 is less than 4.5, so A is correct. Since -4.5 is NEGATIVE it is less than 0. As for C, since both numbers are negative, it would be the seemingly 'smaller' number that is actually bigger. It may help to think of the numbers on a number line. In the negatives, the numbers start to go in reverse, so the further from 0 a negative number is, the smaller it is. -4.5 IS LESS than -3.5. All answers are correct.
Answer: standard deviation = 8
This is because mu = 75 is the mean, which is at the very exact center of this distribution. One space to the right is 83, which is 83-75 = 8 units away from the center. This distance is exactly one standard deviation. We can say "83 is one standard deviation larger than 75".
Or you could note the distance from 67 to 75 is also 8, because 75-67 = 8. Each tickmark represents stepping one standard deviation in distance.
98,561
By following the rules for each digit, your answer should be 98,561
