Given Information:

Mean weekly salary = μ = $490

Standard deviation of weekly salary = σ = $45

Required Information:

P(X > $525) = ?

Answer:

P(X > $525) = 21.77%

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find out the probability that a randomly selected teacher earns more than $525 a week.

P(X > 525) = 1 - P(X < 525)\\\\P(X > 525) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} )\\\\P(X > 525) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{525 - 490}{45} )\\\\P(X > 525) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{35}{45} )\\\\P(X > 525) = 1 - P(Z < 0.78)\\\\

The z-score corresponding to 0.78 from the z-table is 0.7823

P(X > 525) = 1 - 0.7823\\\\P(X > 525) = 0.2177\\\\P(X > 525) = 21.77 \%

Therefore, there is 21.77% probability that a randomly selected teacher earns more than $525 a week.

How to use z-table?

Step 1:

In the z-table, find the two-digit number on the left side corresponding to your z-score. (e.g 0.7, 2.2, 1.5 etc.)

Step 2:

Then look up at the top of z-table to find the remaining decimal point in the range of 0.00 to 0.09. (e.g. if you are looking for 0.78 then go for 0.08 column)

Step 3:

Finally, find the corresponding probability from the z-table at the intersection of step 1 and step 2.

Multiply and simplify. (2x - 1)(6x - 7)
Kryger [21]

Answer:

D) 12x² - 20x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Use FOIL when multiplying 2 binomials...

FOIL is Firsts, Outsides, Insides, Lasts.  It's the order in which you multiply the numbers in the binomials...

(2x - 1)(6x - 7)    

Firsts:  (2x)(6x) = 12x²

Outsides:  (2x)(-7) = -14x

Insides:  (-1)(6x) = -6x

Lasts:  (-1)(-7) = 7

Now add them up...

12x² - 14x - 6x + 7

    12x² - 20x + 7
