Your co-worker, Amanda, and you are reliving your high school athletic "glory days" during a coffee break. She played basketball

and you played baseball. Amanda scored 16 points per game and you had a .325 batting average. You are trying to see who had the better athletic career (statistically speaking), but you can’t compare basketball stats to baseball stats. Use z-scores to convert her points per game average and your batting average. What are the scores and who had the better athletic career? Assume that the mean points per game for basketball players during Amanda’s career was 15 points per game with a standard deviation of 4. Also, the batting average for baseball players during your high school career was 310 (i.e., .310) with a standard deviation of 25.

Answer:

Our score = 0.60, Amanda's score = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

For Amanda

μ = 15 , σ = 4

z- score for X = 16 is (From z table)

z = (X - μ)/σ = (16 - 15)/4 = 0.25

For us

μ = 310 , σ = 25

z score for X = 325 (From z table)

z = (325-310)/25 = 0.60

Since our z score is better than Amanda's z score, we can say we did better

Doc Brown’s DeLorean has three crucial systems that are required for a successful trip: combustion engine, time circuits, and fl
Nesterboy [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

The total probability that the DeLorean makes the trip is:

P = P(engine) × P(at least 1 time circuit) × P(at least 2 capacitors)

P = P(engine) × (1 − P(0 time circuits)) × P(at least 2 capacitors)

P = 0.94 × (1 − ₄C₀ 0.75⁰ 0.25⁴) × (₃C₂ 0.8² 0.2¹ + ₃C₃ 0.8³ 0.2⁰)

P = 0.94 × (1 − 0.25⁴) × (0.384 + 0.512)

P = 0.83895

The reliability of the DeLorean is approximately 83.9%.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a proportional relationship is

y = kx ← k is the constant of proportionality

Divide both sides by x

\frac{y}{x} = k

To find k use any ordered pair from the table

Using (2, \frac{5}{2} ) , then

k = \frac{2}{\frac{5}{2} } = 2 × \frac{2}{5} = \frac{4}{5}

Paul has $30,000 to invest. His intent is to earn 15% interest on his investment. He can invest part of his money at 8% interest
jeka94

Answer:

Amount invested at 8% is $9000 and amount invested at 18% is $21000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount invested at 8% be x.

Let amount invested at 18% be y.

We get the 1st equation as:

x+y=30000       ........(1)

We get the second equation as:

0.08x+0.18(y)=0.15\times30000

=> 0.08x+0.18y=4500

or getting rid of the decimal by multiplying by 100 on both sides.

8x+18y=450000          ........(2)

Multiplying (1) by 8 and subtracting from (2) we get

10y=210000  

So, y = 21000

And x+21000=30000

x = 30000-21000

So, x = 9000

Therefore, amount invested at 8% is $9000 and amount invested at 18% is $21000.
