Answer:

23.58-th

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation of company B's profit is:

\sigma_B=\sqrt{2.25}\sigma_A

Let X be the profit correspondent to the 14th percentile of company A's profit.

The z-score for 14th percentile of a normal distribution is roughly -1.08.

The z-scores for X in companies A and B are:

-1.08 = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma_a} \\z_B = \frac{X-\mu}{\sqrt{2.25}*\sigma_a}\\z_B=\frac{-1.08}{\sqrt{2.25}}\\z_B = -0.72

The z-score for X in company B's profit distribution is -0.72, which corresponds to the 23.58-th percentile.

Option A) 14/250 = N/350 is correct.

Kevin wants to change the engine in her car. The current engine is 250 cubic centimeters and has a 14 inch fan belt. The new engine is 350 cubic centimeters and has proportionally larger fan belt.

<h3>What is proportionality?</h3>

proportionality can be defined as, how much the number is relatable to other number i.e. x =2y x is two times proportion to y.

Hence, in the question
for 250 cc engine it has 14 inch belt
for 350 cc engine it has N inch belt(let)
proportionality can be given as
14 ∝ 250
N ∝ 350
dividing both equation
N/14=350/250
or 14/250=N/350

Thus, the required proportion is given as 14/250=N/350.
