A) the probability is 0.123 or 12.3%.
B) the probability is 0.8589 or 85.89%.
C) the normal distribution can be used even though the sample is small because the population the sample is taken from is normally distributed.

Explanation
A) We first find the z-score that corresponds with this value.
z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}
\\
\\=\frac{215-205}{8.6}= 1.1628

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we find 1.16; this corresponds to a probability of 0.8770.  However, This is the probability that a number will be lower than this; since we want the probability that the value is higher, we subtract from 1:

1-0.8770 = 0.123.

B) To find the probability of a sample mean, we use the formula
z=\frac{X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}
\\
\\=\frac{202.8-205}{\frac{8.6}{\sqrt{15}}}=-0.9908

Looking in our z-table we see that this corresponds with 0.1611.  Again, however, this is the area left of this value, which is the probability below; we want the probability above, so we subtract from 1:

1-0.1611 = 0.8589

1).  $2,700 is  (2,700/6,000) = 45% of  6,000.

      It took 6 years to earn it, so it earned (45%/6) = 7.5% each year.
      That's the simple-interest rate.
_________________________________

2).  The investment earns 4.5% each year, so it earned 9% in 2 years.

      The $1,150.65 is the 9% of the original investment.  Call it V.

      1150.65 = 0.09 x V .

Divide each side by 0.09 :

         V  =  1150.65 / 0.09  =  $12,785 .

3).  There are 18 marbles in the bag all together.

a).  8 of them are green.  If you close your eyes and pull out 1 marble,
the probability that it's a green one is
                                                               8/18 = 4/9  =  44.4% .

b).  If it was a red marble, and you put it in your pocket, then
there are only 17 in the bag now, and 8 of them are still green.

If you pull another one, the probability that it's green is

                                                               8/17  =  47.1% .

5).  There are 10 marbles in the bag all together.
(The second sentence doesn't say anything, and doesn't mean anything.)

If you pull out a silver marble and put it in your pocket, then
there are 9 marbles in the bag, and 2 of them are orange.

The probability of pulling an orange marble now is

                                  2/9  =  22.2% .

The cone and cylinder above have the same radius, r, and height, h. The volume of the cone is 69 cubic centimeters. What is the
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

207 cubic centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

volume of cone  = 9 cubic centimeters

Since the cone and cylinder above have the same radius, r, and height, h, then r = h

volume of the cone = 1/3πr²h

69 =  1/3πr²h

πr²h = 69*3

πr²h = 207cubic cm

Since the volume of the cylinder =  πr²h

Hence volume of the cylinder is 207 cubic centimeters
