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

brilliants [131]

Answer:

2196 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of fish that the killer whale might eat in a month (30 days) = 14,000 lb

Weight of the fish that killer whale might eat in a day = \frac{14000}{30} = \frac{1400}{3} lb.

Average weight of the fish that killer whale eats = 3.4 oz

Since,

1 pound(lb) = 16 ounces(oz)

So,

Weight of the fish that killer whale might eat in a day in ounces(oz) = \frac{1400}{3} \times 16=\frac{22400}{3} oz

Since, a certain fish weighs 3.4 oz, in order to find the number of fish that killer whale must eat, we must divide the total weight in ounces by 3.4 ounces.

So, the number of fish that killer whale would eat = \frac{22400}{3} \div 3.4 = 2196 fish

Thus, the killer whale needs to eat 2196 fish.

Answer: Both

Explanation: The triangles all have corresponding congruent angles. We can tell this by finding the third angle of the original problem: 96.

Then you can read each triangle by what it states. Angle A is congruent to the corresponding angles in the other triangles, which are Q and T. Angle B is congruent to the corresponding angles in the other triangles, which are R and U. Angle C is congruent to the corresponding angles in the other triangles, which are S and V.

We know heard similar since they have congruent angle measures in corresponding spots.
