Answer:

$6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one book =  $5.40

cost of 1000 books = 1000* Cost of one book  =  $5.40*1000 = $5400

Transportation cost for all the books = $200

Thus, total cost for all the books = cost of 1000 books + Transportation cost for all the books  = $5400 + $200 = $5600.

Given , trader wants to earn a profit of 12.5%

thus, we find 12.5 % of total cost incurred by trader

12.5 % of total cost incurred by trader = 12.5/100 *  $5600. = $700

Thus, total profit for 1000 books will be $700

we know that

selling price = cost price + profit

therefore, in the given problem

selling price for 1000 books =  total cost for 1000 books + total profit

substituting the value as calculated above

selling price for 1000 books = $5600 + $700 = $6300

To find selling price for one book, lets divide LHS and RHS by 1000

selling price for 1000/100 books = $6300/1000 = $6.3

Thus, trader should sell each book at $6.3 to earn a profit of 12.5%.

Length of the actual bathroom = 20 x 2 inches = 40 inches = 10/3 ft
Width of the actual bathroom = 20 x 3.5 inches = 70 inches = 35/6 ft
Area of the actual bathroom = length x width = 10/3 x 35/6 = 19 square ft.

The frequency of an AM radio is 1.4 x 106 hertz (cycles per second). Approximately, how many cycles are completed in a minute?
Vadim26 [7]
<span>There are 8,904 cycles per minute. This would be determining the amount of cycles per second, which is 148.4. After you know the amount per second, you can then multiply it by the time, which in this case is 60 seconds, or 1 minute. 148.4 cycles per second multiplied by 60 seconds is 8,904 cycles.</span>

: Use The TI Calculator To Answer The Question. Find The Probability That A Z-score Will Be Between 0.7 And 1.4. A) 0.242 O B) 0
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

P(0.7

And we can find this probability with the following difference:

P(0.7

We can use the following commands on the ti 84

2nd>VARS>DISTR

And then we look for normalcdf and we input this:

normalcdf(0.7,1.4,0,1)

The other possible code would be:

normalcdf(-1000,1,4,0,1)-normalcdf(-1000,0.7,0,1)

And we got:

P(0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to find this probability:

P(0.7

And we can find this probability with the following difference:

P(0.7

We can use the following commands on the ti 84

2nd>VARS>DISTR

And then we look for normalcdf and we input this:

normalcdf(0.7,1.4,0,1)

The other possible code would be:

normalcdf(-1000,1,4,0,1)-normalcdf(-1000,0.7,0,1)

And we got:

P(0.7
