Answer:

k = 77/10

Step-by-step explanation:

The jar consist of blue, red and green marbles . The probability of each of them can be described as follows.

probability of blue marbles = 2/7

probability of red marbles = 3/k

probability of green marbles = 5/2k

The sum of the individual probability is equals to 1. Therefore,

2/7 + 3/k + 5/2k = 1

collect like terms

(6 + 5)/2k = 1 - 2/7

11/2k =(7 - 2) /7

11/2k = 5/7

cross multiply

10k = 77

divide both sides by 10

k = 77/10

Alik [6]
45th percentile means that 45% of the data fall below that number while 55% (that is, 100-45) fall above it.

Now, arranging the number in ascending order;
$60, $85, $95, $105, $120, $145, $155, $175, $190, $215, $235, $240, $260, $285, $325

The total number of counts = 15
Then,
Index = 15*45% = 15*0.45 = 6.75

Round up,
Index = 7

The,
7th number = $155

Therefore, 45th percentile value of the data = $155
