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

The firgure attached illustrate the problem

If m/CHF = 106°, then what is m/FHD?
densk [106]

Answer:

74 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles in question form a straight line (180 degrees)

   180 = CHF + FHD

  180 = 106 + FHD

180 - 106 = FHD

   FHD = 74 degrees

Find the missing side.<br> Round to the nearest tenth.<br> For all 4 pics
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

1st pic) 17.8

2nd pic) 16.8

3rd pic) 9.1

4th pic) 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1st pic:</u> cos = \frac{adjacent}{hypothenuse}

(write equation) Cos 27 (cos 27 = 0.89) = \frac{x}{20}

(new equation) 0. 89 = \frac{x}{20}

(multiply 20 on both sides) 0.89 x 20 = \frac{x}{20} x 20

(solve) 17.8 = x

<u>2nd pic:</u> tan = \frac{adjacentx}{hypothenuse}

(write equation) tan 40 (tan 40 = 0.84) = \frac{32}{x}

(new equation) 0.84 =  \frac{32}{x}

(multiply 32 on both sides) 0.84 x 20 =  \frac{32}{x} x 20

(solve) 16.8 = x

<u>3rd pic:</u> cos = \frac{adjacent}{hypothenuse}

(write equation) cos 55 (cos 55 = 0.57) = \frac{16}{x}

(new equation) 0.57 = \frac{16}{x}

(multiply 16 on both sides) 0.57 x 16 = \frac{16}{x} x 16

(solve) 9.1 = x

<u>4th pic:</u> tan = \frac{adjacentx}{hypothenuse}

(write eqaution) tan 42 (tan 42 = 0.90) = \frac{x}{15}

(new equation) 0.90 = \frac{x}{15}

(multiply 15 on both sides) 0.90 x 15 = \frac{x}{15} x 15

(solve) 13.5 = x

-1 1/5 + 3/4 I’m bad with fractions and don’t know how to do these it’s due tomorrow
Dovator [93]

-1 1/5 + 3/4 = -0.45

1/5 is 0.2 in decimal form, and 3/4 is 0.75:

-1.2 + 0.75 = -0.45

Hope this helps!
