Answer:

a)   0.71

b)   0.9863

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given the mean prices of a house is $403,000 and the standard deviation is $278,000

-The probability the probability that the selected house is valued at less than $500,000 is obtained by summing the frequencies of prices below $500,000:

P(X

Hence, the probability of a house price below $500,000 is 0.71

b. -Let X be the mean price of a randomly selected house.

-Since the sample size 40 is greater than 30, we assume normal distribution.

-The probability can therefore be calculated as follows:

P(X

Thus, the probability  that the mean value of the 40 houses is less than $500,000 is 0.9863

A ladder is leaning up against a 17 foot Wall at an angle of elevation of 37°. How far is the foot of the latter from the wall?
inn [45]
This is the concept of trigonometry, the distance from the foot of the ladder will be given by:
tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent]
opposite=17 ft
adjacent=x ft
theta=37°
thus
tan 37=17/x
x=17/tan 37
x=22.56 ft
=22.6 ft (to the nearest 10th of a foot)

Find the missing coefficient.<br><br> -<br> y2 − [-5y − y(-7y − 9)] − [-y (15y + 4)] = 0
maria [59]
There is only one solution in the given equation -y2 − [-5y − y(-7y − 9)] − [-y (15y + 4)] = 0. In solving this problem, apply first PEMDAS (parenthesis, exponents,multiplication, division, addition, subtraction). Then equation will transform into -y2+5y-7y2-9y+15y2+4y=0. Combine terms with same power and achieve 7y2=0. Divide both sides with 7 and perform square root of zero. Since the root is zero, we have one solution of the given equation which is y=0.
