Answer:

The probability that his bill will be less than $50 a month or more than $150 for a single month is 0.3728 = 37.28%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

A salesman who uses his car extensively finds that his gasoline bills average $125.32 per month with a standard deviation of $49.51.

This means that \mu = 125.32, \sigma = 49.51

Less than 50:

p-value of Z when X = 50. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{50 - 125.32}{49.51}

Z = -1.52

Z = -1.52 has a p-value of 0.0643

More than 150

1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 150. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{150 - 125.32}{49.51}

Z = 0.5

Z = 0.5 has a p-value of 0.6915

1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085

The probability that his bill will be less than $50 a month or more than $150 for a single month is:

0.0643 + 0.3085 = 0.3728

The probability that his bill will be less than $50 a month or more than $150 for a single month is 0.3728 = 37.28%.

The prism shown has a volume of 3,024 cm3.
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

14cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find volume, you need to multiply the height width and length together. So when you have one missing measurement, to find it, you need to do the same steps except for put a variable for the missing measurement. And continue to do the problem as you would. Here is how I solved it.

V=12x18xH

3024=216xH (216 is 12x18)

Then to find the missing side, do 3024/216 which equals 14.

What is the y value of the vertex 4x^2+8x-8
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The y-value of the vertex is -12

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola into vertex form is equal to

f(x)=a(x-h)^{2}+k

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

In this problem we have

f(x)=4x^{2}+8x-8 -----> this a vertical parabola open upward

Convert to vertex form

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

f(x)+8=4x^{2}+8x

Factor the leading coefficient

f(x)+8=4(x^{2}+2x)

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

f(x)+8+4=4(x^{2}+2x+1)

f(x)+12=4(x^{2}+2x+1)

Rewrite as perfect squares

f(x)+12=4(x+1)^{2}

f(x)=4(x+1)^{2}-12

The vertex is the point (-1,-12)

The y-value of the vertex is -12
