Answer:

a. 0.38%

b. 266.75 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data, mean (m) 269 and standard deviation (sd) 15, therefore:

a. The first thing is to calculate the number z:

z (x) = (x - m) / sd

z (309) = (309-269) / 15 = 2.67

When looking in the normal distribution table (attached), we have that at this value of z, the probability is:

P (z> 2.67), that is to say we must look in the table -2.67 and this value corresponds to 0.0038, that is to say 0.38%

b. Find the z-value with a left tail of 44%, i.e. 0.44. We look in the table for this value and what value of z corresponds.

invNorm (0.44) = -0.15

Find the corresponding number of days:

x = z * sd + m

we replace

d = -0.15 * 15 + 269 = 266.75 days

what is the approximate percent increase when the population of a town increases from 12,089 to 15,025? round the population amo
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The approximate percentage is 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial population was = 12089 rounded off to 12000.

The final population is = 15025 rounded off to 15000.

Change in population = 15000-12000=3000

So, the approximate percent increase is =

\frac{3000}{12000}\times100

= 25%.

I don’t understand stand this question someone please help me with work shown
djyliett [7]

Answer:

60°

please look into the solution down here.

Step-by-step explanation:

since BD bisects it, then the angles should be bisected symmetrically, or in other words, ANGLE ABD = angle DBC,

hence,

4x = 2x +30

2x = 30

x = 15

therefore, angle DBC = 2x + 30 = 2(15) + 30 = 60°.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

a ratio of cats to dogs is 5:3 so the total of that ratio is 8 so for every 8 animals there are 5 cats so 5/8*104=65

b. ratio of dogs to cats is 3:5 so 3 of every animal is a dog so 3/8*104 =39

and 39+65=104 as a final check = 104

this also proves that dogs are better than cats
