<u>Given</u>:

Mean,

\mu = 300,000

Standard deviation,

\sigma = 50,000

The Chebyshev theorem will be used for the solution of the given query,

i.e., P(|X - \mu| < k \sigma ) \geq 1-\frac{1}{k^2}

(i)

⇒ 1-\frac{1}{k^2} = 0.75

            k = 2

The lower limit will be:

= \mu - k \sigma

= 300000-2\times 50000

= 200000

The upper limit will be:

= \mu + k \sigma

= 300000+2\times 50000

= 400000

hence,

The 75% houses sold are between:

⇒ (200000, 400000)

(ii)

⇒ \mu -k \sigma = Lower \ limit

By putting the values, we get

   300000-50000k = 150000

   300000-150000=50000k

                  150000=50000k

                           k=\frac{150000}{50000}

                              =3

now,

⇒ 1-\frac{1}{k^2} = 1-\frac{1}{3^2}

              =\frac{8}{9}

              =0.8888

              =88.88 (%)

hence,

88.88% houses sold between 150000 and 450000.      

(iii)

⇒ \mu - k \sigma = Lower \ limit

By putting the values, we get

   300000-50000k = 170000

   300000-170000=50000 k

                  130000= 50000 k

                          k = \frac{130000}{50000}

                             =2.6

now,

⇒ 1-\frac{1}{k^2} = 1-\frac{1}{2.6^2}

              =0.8521

              =85.21 (%)

hence,

85.21% houses are sold between 170000 and 430000.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

8x + 3y = -47

Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Use the y = mx + b form to find b:

y=-\frac{3}{8} x+b\\-4=\frac{3}{8}(5)+b\\-32=15+8b\\-47=8b\\-\frac{47}{8} =b

    2. Plug in b for the new equation:

y=-\frac{3}{8} x-\frac{47}{8}

    3. Get rid of the denominators and simplify everything into standard form

    (ax + by = c)

y=-\frac{3}{8} x-\frac{47}{8}\\8y=-3x-47\\3x+8y=-47

Kevin and Randy Muise have a jar containing 68 coins, all of which are either quarters or nickels. The total value of the coins
Bad White [126]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 23 quarters
  • 45 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let q represent the number of quarters. Then the number of nickels is 68-q, and the number of cents in the jar is ...

  25q +5(68 -q) = 800

  20q +340 = 800 . . . . simplify

  20q = 460 . . . . . . . . subtract 340

  q = 23 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 20; this is the number of quarters

  68-q = 45 . . . . . . . find the number of nickels

The jar contains 23 quarters and 45 nickels.
