According to an NRF survey conducted by BIGresearch, the average family spends about $237 on electronics (computers, cell phones

, etc.) in back-to-college spending per student. Suppose back-to-college family spending on electronics is normally distributed with a standard deviation of $54. If a family of a returning college student is randomly selected, what is the probability that: (a) They spend less than $160 on back-to-college electronics

Answer:

7.64% probability that they spend less than $160 on back-to-college electronics

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 237, \sigma = 54

Probability that they spend less than $160 on back-to-college electronics

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 160. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{160 - 237}{54}

Z = -1.43

Z = -1.43 has a pvalue of 0.0763

7.64% probability that they spend less than $160 on back-to-college electronics

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

0.749m and 2.25m

Step-by-step explanation:

to convert from centimeters to meters, you divide by 100 because there are 100cm in 1m

74.9cm/100= 0.749m and 225cm/100=2.25m

13.1: Equivalent Expressions
scoundrel [369]

Distributive Property:  a ( b + c) = (a*b) + (a*c)

b)   x(x + 9) =  x*x + 9*x

               = x² + 9x    

c)  x² - 18x

     x² = x * x

  18x  = 18 *x

G C F = x

Greatest common factor in both the terms is 'x'.Take the common variable from both the terms.

x² - 18x = x*x - 18*x

            = x (x - 18)

           

Standard form.                Factored form

      x²                                     x*x

x²  +  9x                             x(x +9)

    x² - 18x                           x(x - 18)  

-x² + 10x                             x(-x + 10) = x(10 -x)

-x² - 2.75x                          -x(x + 2.75)
