Answer:

81.86%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that final exam scores are normally distributed with a mean of 74 and a standard deviation of 6.

First of all we will find z-score using z-score formula.

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

z=\frac{68-74}{6}

z=\frac{-6}{6}=-1

Now let us find z-score for 86.

z=\frac{86-74}{6}    

z=\frac{12}{6}=2        

Now we will find P(-1<Z) which is probability that a random score would be greater than 68. We will find P(2>Z) which is probability that a random score would be less than 86.

Using normal distribution table we will get,    

P(-1

P(2>Z)=.97725  

We will use formula P(a to find the probability to find that a normal variable lies between two values.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

P(-1

P(-1

Upon converting 0.81859 to percentage we will get

0.81859*100=81.859\approx 81.86

Therefore, 81.86% of final exam score will be between 68 and 86.

Explain what the equation 110d = 100d + 40 represents<br>in the context of the example problem.​
Tanya [424]

<em>This means that at some specific number of days the cost for Oceanview and  Beachside will be the same.</em>

<h2 /><h2>Explanation:</h2>

See the complete question in the attached file. In this exercise, we know that Oceanview charges $100 per day plus a one-time fee of $40. This can be represented by the following equation:

Total cost for Oceanview:

c=100d+40

Total cost for Beachside:

c=110d

Where:

c:Represents \ the \ cost \\ \\ d:Represents \ the \ number \ of \ day

So we have to explain what the equation:

110d=100d+40

represents in the context of the problem. We have used substitution in order to get that equation, so <em>this means that at some specific number of days the cost for Oceanview and  Beachside will be the same.</em>

This value was calculated and we get that<em> the cost at the hotels will be the same after 4 days and it will be $440.</em>

seropon [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The response of this would be to say that those people without daytime jobs that are outside the home, are more likely to be home and thus, have more time on their hands to attempt to bake. So basically, the quoted 56% is definitely going to be higher than the population percentage.

Andrej [43]

Answer:

  about 10.924 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If all of the dimensions are equal, the box is a cube. Its side length is the cube root of the volume.

  V = s³

  s = ∛V = ∛1300 ≈ 10.913929 . . . . inches

Bethany paid $408.75 for a pair of diamond stud earrings. The sale price was $375. What is the Percent of Sales Tax she paid for
9966 [12]

Answer:

She paid 9% of sales tax

Step-by-step explanation:

The sale price of diamond = $375

Let x be percent of sales tax

So, amount of tax = x\% \times 375 = \frac{x}{100} \times 375 =3.75x

So, Amount including tax = 375+3.75x

We are given that Bethany paid $408.75 for a pair of diamond stud earrings.

So, 375+3.75x=408.75

3.75x=408.75-375

x=\frac{408.75-375}{3.75}

x=9

Hence She paid 9% of sales tax
