In the last quarter of​ 2007, a group of 64 mutual funds had a mean return of 2.2 2.2​% with a standard deviation of 6.3 6.3​%.

Consider the Normal model ​N( 0.022 0.022​, 0.063 0.063​) for the returns of these mutual funds. ​a) What value represents the 40th percentile of these​ returns? ​b) What value represents the 99th​ percentile? ​c) What's the​ IQR, or interquartile​ range, of the quarterly returns for this group of​ funds? ​a) The value that represents the 40th percentile is nothing ​%. ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)

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

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

1. 516 ppm; 2. 561 ppm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. CO₂ increase at old rate

Time = 2100 - 2010 = 90 years

Increase in CO₂ = 90 yr × (1.4 ppm/1 yr) = 126 ppm

CO₂ in 2010 = 390 + 126 = 516 ppm

At the old rate, the CO₂ concentration in 2100 will be 516 ppm.

2. CO₂ increase at new rate

Time = 2100 - 2010 = 90 years

Increase in CO₂ = 90 yr × (1.9 ppm/1 yr) = 171 ppm

CO₂ in 2010 = 390 + 171 = 561 ppm

At the new rate, the CO₂ concentration in 2100 will be 561 ppm.

Raymond has two seven foot long boards, and wants to cut fifteen inch long peices from each; what is the greatest number of peic
anastassius [24]

7ft = 84in   84  ÷  15 =  5.6 pieces he can cut from each board.  Since .6 is not a whole piece measuring 15 inches long, he can only cut 5 pieces from each board.

So, 5 x 2 = 10

He would be able to cut 10 pieces measuring 15 inches long.

Hope this helps :)

Write 4–6 sentences explaining why it is important to have precise definitions in mathematics.
dimaraw [331]
Mathematics can be tricky so precise definitions are important. Without them there can be confusion which more often then not will generate a wrong answer. With clear precise definitions it is easier to understand the topic. Therefore, it is easier to get the correct answer.

To start, we're given the range that x lies in: from -1 to 4. We know from the fact that -1 \leq x that -1 will be <em /><em>included</em> in that range, so we mark -1 on the number line with a solid circle. We also know from x\ \textless \ 4 that, while x can be any value <em>up to</em> 4, it does not <em>include </em>4. We indicate this by drawing a hollow circle around 4 on the number line. Since x can be <em>any value within this range</em>, we make that fact clear by drawing a bold line between the points -1 and 4 on the number line. I've attached an image of what our final graph would look like.
