Answer:

a=0.2 -0.674*0.3=-0.00235

So the value that separates the bottom 25% of data from the top 75% is -0.00235.  

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 variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(0.2,0.3)  

Where \mu=0.2 and \sigma=0.3

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

P(X>a)=0.75   (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 0.25 of the area on the left and 0.75 of the area on the right it's z=-0.674. On this case P(Z<-0.674)=0.25 and P(z>-0.674)=0.75

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=-0.674

And if we solve for a we got

a=0.2 -0.674*0.3=-0.00235

So the value that separates the bottom 25% of data from the top 75% is -0.00235.

Assume Metro Company had a net income of​ $2,100 for the year ending December 2018. Its beginning and ending total assets were​
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

7.92%

Explanation:

The computation of the return on total assets is shown below:

Return on assets = (Net income) ÷ (average of total assets)

where,  

Net income is $2,100

Average total assets = (Beginning total assets + ending total assets) ÷ 2

= ($33,500 + $19,500) ÷ 2

= $26,500

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the ratio would equal to

= $2,100 ÷ $26,500

= 7.92%
