A = P + SI

A-P = SI

5425-5000 = 425

THEREFORE THE SIMPLE INTRESTE IS $425

SI = PTR/100

425 = 5000×1×R/100

425×100/5000×1=R

425×100÷5,000×1 = 8.5%

THEREFORE THE RATE IS 8.5%

The weights of steers in a herd are distributed normally. The standard deviation is 200lbs and the mean steer weight is 1000 lbs

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

0.9466 = 94.66% probability that the weight of a randomly selected steer is between 639 and 1420lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 1000, \sigma = 200$
