Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the past exam mark m,

m*105%=84

m*105/100=84

m=84/(105/100)

m=80

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

new value = 84

old value = n

can use percent change formula: (new value - old value) / old value = 5/100

$\frac{84-n}{n}$ = $\frac{5}{100}$

cross-multiply (you can simplify 5/100 to be 1/20 first): 20(84 - n) = n

1680 - 20n = n

1680 = 21n

n = 80

Use the standard normal distribution to find P(-2.25 < z < 1.25)

Ede4ka [16]

Here we have to find the probability $P(-2.25$ . Now express the probability in terms of standard normal cumulative distribution function. That is $\Phi(x)=P(z$ .

$P(-2.25$

Now you can look up the probability from the standard normal tables. Its value is

$P(-2.25$

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through <br> (7, 2) and (2, 12).

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(12 - 2)/(2 - 7) = 10/-5 = -2

y - 12 = -2(x - 2)

y - 12 = -2x + 2

y = -2x + 14

Suppose that an airline uses a seat width of 16.5 in. Assume men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

a) 0.018

b) 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 14.4 in

Standard Deviation, σ = 1 in

We are given that the distribution of breadths is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

a) P(breadth will be greater than 16.5 in)

P(x > 16.5)

$P( x > 16.5) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{16.5 - 14.4}{1}) = P(z > 2.1)$

$= 1 - P(z \leq 2.1)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x > 16.5) = 1 - 0.982 = 0.018 = 1.8\%$

0.018 is the probability that if an individual man is randomly selected, his hip breadth will be greater than 16.5 in.

b) P( with 123 randomly selected men, these men have a mean hip breadth greater than 16.5 in)

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

P(x > 16.5)

$P( x > 16.5) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{16.5-14.4}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{123}}}) = P(z > 23.29)$

$= 1 - P(z \leq 23.29)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x > 16.5) = 1 - 1 = 0$

There is 0 probability that 123 randomly selected men have a mean hip breadth greater than 16.5 in
