3.25 would be 3 1/4 because,
Step 1: You would rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator. So, 3.25 = 3.24/1
Step 2: Multiply it by 1 to eliminate 2 decimals places, so multiply the top and bottom by 10^2 = 100
3.25/1 x 100/100 = 325/100
Step 3: Now you find the greatest common factor, also known as GCF, of 325 and 100 if it exits then you reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by it. GCF = 25
3.25/100 divided by 25/25 = 13/4
Now you would simplify it to make a proper fraction getting your answer
3 1/4
Does that make sense?
15 + 7 + 9 + 7 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 3 = 52
Answer:
a) 0.4121
b) $588
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean μ = $633
Standard deviation σ = $45.
Required:
a. If $646 is budgeted for next week, what is the probability that the actual costs will exceed the budgeted amount?
We solve using z score formula
= z = (x-μ)/σ, where
x is the raw score
μ is the population mean
σ is the population standard deviation.
For x = $646
z = 646 - 633/45
z = 0.22222
Probability value from Z-Table:
P(x<646) = 0.58793
P(x>646) = 1 - P(x<646) = 0.41207
≈ 0.4121
b. How much should be budgeted for weekly repairs, cleaning, and maintenance so that the probability that the budgeted amount will be exceeded in a given week is only 0.16? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
Converting 0.16 to percentage = 0.16 × 100% = 16%
The z score of 16%
= -0.994
We are to find x
Using z score formula
z = (x-μ)/σ
-0.994 = x - 633/45
Cross Multiply
-0.994 × 45 = x - 633
-44.73 = x - 633
x = -44.73 + 633
x = $588.27
Approximately to the nearest dollar, the amount should be budgeted for weekly repairs, cleaning, and maintenance so that the probability that the budgeted amount will be exceeded in a given week is only 0.16
is $588
