Answer:

Tuesday's z-score was of -1.325.

The percentile rank of sales for this day was the 9.25th percentile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

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 department store, on average, has daily sales of $21,000. The standard deviation of sales is $3600.

This means that \mu = 21000, \sigma = 3600

On Tuesday, the store sold $16,230 worth of goods. Find Tuesday's z score.

This is Z when X = 16230. So

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

Z = \frac{16230 - 21000}{3600}

Z = -1.325

Tuesday's z-score was of -1.325.

What is the percentile rank of sales for this day

This is the p-value of Z = -1.325.

Looking at the z-table, this is of 0.0925, and thus:

The percentile rank of sales for this day was the 9.25th percentile.

If a * b + 5 *a + 3 * b + 15= 24 and a+ 3 =6 then what is the value of a+b​
Semmy [17]

Answer:

a +b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

a +3 = 6

    a = 6 -3

   a = 3

Plugin  a =3 in the equation,

a*b +5*a +3*b + 15 = 24

3b + 5*3 + 3b + 15 = 24

3b + 15  + 3b + 15 = 24      {combine like  terms}

3b + 3b + 15 + 15 = 24

             6b  + 30  = 24           {Subtract 30 from both sides}

                       6b = 24 -30

                      6b = -6               {divide both sides by 6}

                         b = -6/6

b = -1

a + b = 3 + ( -1)

         = 2
