The head of the Westlane Cultural Center wants to get a sense of how quickly pledges from donors arrive at the center. It takes
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

95.64% probability that pledges are received within 40 days

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 = 28, \sigma = 7

What is the probability that pledges are received within 40 days

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 40. So

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

Z = \frac{40 - 28}{7}

Z = 1.71

Z = 1.71 has a pvalue of 0.9564

95.64% probability that pledges are received within 40 days

Taylor and Nora go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. Taylor spends a total of $69.00 on 6 drinks
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The system if equation that can be used to derive this are

6x + 4y = 69 AND

12x + y = 96

The price of a drink is $7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The question here says that Taylor and Nora went to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. Taylor spends a total of $69.00 on 6 drinks and 4 bags of popcorn Nora spends a total of $96.00 on 12 drinks and bag of popcorn.And we are now told to write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one drink and the price of one bag of popcorn. Using these equations,we should determine and state the price of a drink, to the nearest cent .

Now, Let's assume that the price of a drink is "X" and that of a bag of popcorn to be Y

The first person made a purchase which led to the equation

6x + 4y = 69______ equation 1

And the second person also made a purchase that lead to the equation

12x + y = 96_____ equation 2

We make y the subject of the formula in equation 2 and apply it in 1

Y = 96 - 12x

Now apply the above in equation 1

6x + 4y = 69

6x + 4(96 - 12x)= 69

6x + 384 - 48x = 69

42x = 384 - 69

X = 315/42

X = 7.5

Substitute x= 7.5 in equation 2

12x + y = 96

12(7.5) + y = 96

90 + y = 96

Y = 6

Therefore, the price of a drink is $7.5

A physical fitness association is including the mile run in its secondary-school fitness test. The time for this event for boys
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

z=-1.28

And if we solve for a we got

a=470 -1.28*60=393.2

So the value of height that separates the bottom 10% (Fastest 10%) of data from the top 90% is 393.2.

so if the time is 393.2 or lower a boy would earn a certificate of recognition from the fitness association

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the time for this event of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(470,60)  

Where \mu=470 and \sigma=60

NOTE: For this case the fastest 10% is on the lower tail of the distribution

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.9   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.1 of the area on the left and 0.9 of the area on the right it's z=-1.28. On this case P(Z<-1.28)=0.1 and P(z>-1.28)=0.9

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-1.28

And if we solve for a we got

a=470 -1.28*60=393.2

So the value of height that separates the bottom 10% (Fastest 10%) of data from the top 90% is 393.2.

so if the time is 393.2 or lower a boy would  earn a certificate of recognition from the fitness association
