Answer:

A) She must have used 20% from the $40 instead of the unknown price.

B) No, because: see below explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

X is the original price.

If $40 is 80% of x, to find 1% of the price, divide $40 by 80.

You will get $0.50 for 1%.

To find the full amount, just multiply that by 100.

0.50*100= 50.

Total: $50.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

10 sides (decagon)

Step-by-step explanation:

You find the perimeter by adding up all the sides of a shape.

side + side + side + side... = perimeter

You know that <em>each</em> side is 4/5 centimeters. You also know that the perimeter is 8 centimeters.

<u>You can set up an equation like this:</u>

4/5 * number of sides = 8

<em>or you can write it in a simpler form as:</em>

4/5x=8

<u>Now solve it like a normal equation:</u>

5 * (4/5x) = (8) * 5

(4x) / 4=(40) / 4

x = 10

So, you know the shape has 10 sides that are 4/5 centimeters each.

For some postive value of Z, the probability that a standardized normal variable is between 0 and Z is 0.3770. The value of Z is
Talja [164]

Answer:

1.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

For some positive value of Z, the probability that a standardized normal variable is between 0 and Z is 0.3770.

This implies that:

P(0<Z<z) = 0.3770

P(Z < z)-P(Z < 0) = 0.3770

P(Z < z) = 0.3770 + P(Z < 0)

From the standard normal tables , P(Z < 0)  =0.5

P(Z < z) = 0.3770 + 0.5

P(Z < z) =  0.877

SO to determine the value of z for which it is equal to 0.877, we look at the

table of standard normal distribution and locate the probability value of 0.8770. we advance to the  left until the first column is reached, we see that the value was 1.1.  similarly, we did the same in the  upward direction until the top row is reached, the value was 0.06.  The intersection of the row and column values gives the area to the two tail of z.   (i.e 1.1 + 0.06 =1.16)

therefore, P(Z ≤ 1.16 ) = 0.877
