Rewrite -1 as a fraction
Cross multiply
Distribute the -1
Add both sides by ax
Subtract both sides by 3
Divide both sides by 3a
Simplify
That's the value of x respect to a. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
The answer i got was 13 can go into 117 and 130 evenly
You'd simply have to find 20% of $40. To find the percent of a number, you would change the percent into an actual decimal/number, and then multiply them both. So the percent would become 0.20.
40 × 0.20 = 8
So now you would subtract 8 from the cost of 40.
40 - 8 = 32.
The shirt costs $32.
Given the total number of students are 180, the mean of data is 88g, and standard deviation is 1g.
A normal curve is a bell-shaped curve with symmetry about the mean and it spreads uniformly on both sides (left side and right side) of the mean.
The empirical rule is also called "68-95-99.7" rule. It says that :-
A) 68% of the data values fall between 1 standard deviation about mean (34% on left side and 34% on right side),
B) 95% of the data values fall between 2 standard deviations about mean (47.5% on left side and 47.5% on right side), and
C) 99.7% of the data values fall between 3 standard deviations about mean (49.85% on left side and 49.85% on right side).
According to distribution of normal curve and "68-95-99.7" empirical rule, we can say 49.85% of data values are above the mean within 3 standard deviations.
So it means 49.85% of total students report readings more than 88g.
Number of students reporting readings more than 88g = 49.85% of 180 = 0.4985 × 180 = 89.73
Hence, approximately 89 students report readings more than mean value.
