<span>Mean = 270
Standard deviation = 10
x = 255
Formula for z-score, z = (x - mean)/SD
z = (255 - 270) / 10
=> z = -15 / 10 => z = -1.5
So by referring to z-table, -1.5 correlates to 0.0668 that implies to 0.07
So 7% of the boxes of Apples weight less than 255oz.
The percentage of boxes is in the range of 255 oz and 270 oz,
Now calculating the requiring percentage 50% - 7% = 43%</span>
You can try them out and see which one works.
a: f(2) = f(1) +6 = 5+6 = 11 . . . . . . not this one
b: f(1) = f(2) -6 = -1-6 = -7 . . . . . . not this one (5 ≠ -7)
c: f(2) = f(1) - 6 = 5 - 6 = -1 . . . . . this gives the right f(2)
d: f(2 = -6(f(1) = -6(5) = -30 . . . . not this one
_____
The appropriate choice is ...
... f(n +1) = f(n) - 6
— — — — —
You can also recognize that the next term is 6 less than the current one, so f(n+1) = f(n) - 6, which corresponds to the 3rd selection.
Let the cost of the soft drink = C then the price of the sandwich was 3.5 times as much = 3.5C
And
C + 3.5C = Total Cost
C + 3.5C = 9
4.5C = 9 divide both sides by 4.5
C = 9/4.5 = $2.00 for the soft drink
And 3.5C = 3.5(2.00) = $7.00 cost of the sandwich
