A marine sales dealer Önds that the average price of a previously owned boat is $6492. He decides to sell boats that will appeal

to the middle 66% of the market in terms of price. Find the maximum and minimum prices of the boats the dealer will sell. The standard deviation is $1025, and the variable is normally distributed.

Answer:

The maximum price that the dealer will sell is $7471 and the minimum is $5513.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 6492, \sigma = 1025

Middle 66%

50 - (66/2)  = 17th percentile

50 + (66/2) = 83rd percentile

17th percentile

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.17. So X when Z = -0.955.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-0.955 = \frac{X - 6492}{1025}

X - 6492 = -0.955*1025

X = 5513

83rd percentile

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.83. So X when Z = 0.955.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

0.955 = \frac{X - 6492}{1025}

X - 6492 = 0.955*1025

X = 7471

The maximum price that the dealer will sell is $7471 and the minimum is $5513.

What are the solutions to the equation f(x)= g(x)?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

2 solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equations of f(x) and g(x).

To find f(x) = g(x), we just let those two equations equal each other

x^{2} -4x+5=x+1

Group all like terms,

x^{2} -3x+4=0

Factorise,

(x-4)(x+1)=0

x=4, x=-1

Therefore, there are two solutions

Hope this helped!!

Match the key aspect of a function's graph with its meaning
Aliun [14]

Answer:

y- intercept --> Location on graph where input is zero

f(x) < 0         --> Intervals of the domain where the graph is below the x-axis

x- intercept --> Location on graph where output is zero

f(x) > 0         --> Intervals of the domain where the graph is above the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

Y-intercept: The y-intercept is equivalent to the point where x= 0. 'x' is the input variable in an equation, therefore the y-intercept is where the input, or x, is equal to 0.

f(x) <0: Notice the 'lesser than' sign. This means that the value of f(x), or 'y', is less than 0. This means that this area consists of intervals of the domain below the x-axis.

X-intercept: The x-intercept is the location of the graph where y= 0, or the output is equal to 0.

f(x) >0: In this, there is a 'greater than' sign. This means that f(x), or 'y', is greater than 0. Therefore, this consists of intervals of the domain above the x-axis.
