If outliers are discarded, then the retirement savings by residents of Econistan is normally distributed with a mean of $100,000

and a standard deviation of $20,000. a) What is the probability that one randomly selected resident of Econistan will have retirement savings greater than $117,000? Please include a picture and calculations in your answer.

Answer:

P(X>117000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{117000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{117000-100000}{20000})=P(z>0.85)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel:

P(z>0.85)=1-P(z

The firgure attached illustrate the problem

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the retirement savings of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(100000,20000)  

Where \mu=100000 and \sigma=20000

We are interested on this probability

P(X>117000)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>117000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{117000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{117000-100000}{20000})=P(z>0.85)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel:

P(z>0.85)=1-P(z

Johan always wears a shirt, pants, socks, and shoes. He owns 20 pairs of socks, 5 pairs of shoes, 10 pairs of pants, and 8 shirt
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Johan can make 8000 different outfits.

Step-by-step explanation:

Johan needs to pick one of each (shirt, pants, socks and shoes) to make a outfit. The number of socks he has is 20 pairs, so he has 20 possibilities for socks. In the same way, the number of possibilities for shoes is 5, for pants is 10 and for shirts is 8.

So, to find the number of outfits he can make, we need to multiply all the possibilities for each case, so:

Number of different outfits = 20 * 5 * 10 * 8 = 8000.
