Answer:

a) 0.625; b) 16.879; c) 8.442

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a normal distribution, we want the value of the mean, μ:  2.2; and the value of the standard deviation, σ:  6.3.

For the 40th percentile, we look in a z chart.  We want to find the value as close to 0.40 as we can get; this is 0.4013, and it corresponds to a z score of z = -0.25.

Our formula for a z score is z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}.  Using our values, we have

-0.25 = (X-2.2)/6.3

Multiply both sides by 6.3:

6.3(-0.25) = X-2.2

-1.575 = X-2.2

Add 2.2 to each side:

-1.575+2.2 = X-2.2+2.2

0.625 = X

For the 99th percentile, the value in the z chart closest to 0.99 is 0.9901, which corresponds to a z score of z = 2.33:

2.33 = (X-2.2)/6.3

Multiply both sides by 6.3:

6.3(2.33) = X-2.2

14.679 = X-2.2

Add 2.2 to each side:

14.679+2.2 = X-2.2+2.2

16.879 = X

For the IQR, we find the values for the 75th percentile (Q3) and the 25th percentile (Q1).  The value in a z chart closest to 0.75 is 0.7486, which corresponds to a z score of z = 0.67:

0.67 = (X-2.2)/6.3

Multiply both sides by 6.3:

6.3(0.67) = X-2.2

4.221 = X-2.2

Add 2.2 to each side:

4.221+2.2 = X-2.2+2.2

6.421 = X

The value in a z chart closest to 0.25 is 0.2514, which corresponds to a z score of z = -0.67:

-0.67 = (X-2.2)/6.3

Multiply both sides by 6.3:

6.3(-0.67) = X-2.2

-4.221 = X-2.2

Add 2.2 to each side:

-4.221+2.2 = X-2.2+2.2

-2.021 = X

This makes the interquartile range

6.421--2.021 = 8.442

Answer:

$1,216

Step-by-step explanation:

Costs for Handsome Homes fabric

Area (sq. ft.)   Cost (dollars)

        (x)                  (y)

       250               475

       500               950

       750               1,420

       1000             1,900

If you divide any y-value by its corresponding x-value, the quotient will be 1.9

This means that each square foot costs $1.90 at Handsome Homes

Discount Diggers = 20% per sq. ft. less than Handsome homes

Discount Diggers = $1.90 - 20%

Discount Diggers = $1.90(100 - 20%)

Discount Diggers = $1.90(0.8)

Discount Diggers = $1.52

Now that it is known how much 1 square foot of fabric costs at Discount Diggers, we need to find how much 800 square feet of fabric costs.

$1.52 = 1 sq. ft.

$1.52(800) = 800 sq. ft.

$1,216

800 square feet of landscape fabric at Discount Diggers costs $1,216

Hope this helps :)

On tuesday shanice bought five hats. on wednesday half of all the hats that she had were destroyed. equation for... on thursday
wlad13 [49]

If X is the number of hats . . . reading backwards . . .

Thursday = Wednesday + Tuesday

17 = 1/2 X + 5

Solving:

17 - 5 = 1/2 X

12 = 1/2 X

24 = X

So she had 24 on Monday.
