Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So we first subtract 25% from 100% so we can see what percent 15 is:

100 - 25 = 75 so 15 is 75% of ___:

This gives us a standard percentage problem, so:

75% = 0.75

we can rewrite the equation as a one-step equation:

15 = 0.75a

Dividing both sides by 0.75 and swapping sides gives

a = 15 ÷ 0.75 = 20

So the original price of the hat was $20

because 25% is 1/4, and 75% is 3/4 and 15 is therefore 3/4:

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 x 4 = 20

Answer:

The proportion of children in this age range between 70 lbs and 85 lbs is of 0.9306.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

A study suggested that children between the ages of 6 and 11 in the US have an average weightof 74 lbs, with a standard deviation of 2.7 lbs.

This means that $\mu = 74, \sigma = 2.7$
