Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

%profit = selling price - cost price/cost price * 100

If Mr. Wayne marks up every item with a profit of 25% and x be his cost for a calculator, the expression for the selling price can be gotten by substituting the parameters into the formula;

25 = sp-cp/cp * 100

25/100 =  sp-x/x

0.25 = sp-x/x

cross multiply

0.25x = sp-x

add x to both sides

0.25x+x = sp-x+x

1.25x = sp

selling price = 1.25x

<em>Hence an expression for the selling price of the calculator is 1.25x</em>

<em></em>

b) If Mr wayne paid $25, the selling price is derived by substituing x = $25 into the expression in (a)

selling price = 1.25x

selling price = 1.25($25)

selling price = $31.25

c) If the selling price is $86, to get the cost of the calculator, substitute the selling price into the expression in (a)

selling price = 1.25x

$86= 1.25x

x is the cost price of the calculator

divide both sides by 1.25

$86/1.25= 1.25x/1.25

x = $68.8

<em>Hence Wayne paid $68.8 for a calculator that he sells for $86.</em>

The diameters of ball bearings are distributed normally. The mean diameter is 87 millimeters and the standard deviation is 6 mil
devlian [24]

Answer:

69.14% probability that the diameter of a selected bearing is greater than 84 millimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Given That, The diameters of ball bearings are distributed normally. The mean diameter is 87 millimeters and the standard deviation is 6 millimeters. Find the probability that the diameter of a selected bearing is greater than 84 millimeters.

  • In a set with mean and standard deviation, the Z score of a measure X is given by Z = (X-μ)/σ

we have μ=87 , σ=6 & X=84

  • Find the probability that the diameter of a selected bearing is greater than 84 millimeters

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 84.

So, Z = (84-87)/6

Z = -3/6

Z = -0.5 has a p-value of 0.30854.

⇒1 - 0.30854 = 0.69146

  • 0.69146 = 69.14% probability that the diameter of a selected bearing is greater than 84 millimeters.

Note- (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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X)
