Answer:

$836.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Average price = mean = $965

Standard deviation, = $100

Given that distribution is approximately normal ;

The least expensive 10% of the laptops :

We Obtain the Zscore that corresponds to P(Z ≤ 0.1) ; this means the least 10% of the laptops ;

From, a normal probability distribution table ;

P(Z ≤ 0.1) = - 1.282

We substitute this into the Zscore formula :

Zscore = (x - mean ) / standard deviation

x = price

-1.282 = (x - 965) / 100

-128.2 = (x - 965)

x = - 128.2 + 965

x = $836.8

Hence, price is $836.8

How to solve: 3x + 5 = x + 14

jasenka [17]

Combine like terms:
subtract x from both sides to get
2x+5=14
subtract 5
2x=9
isolate x:
divide 2 from both sides to isolate x
x=9/2
that's your final answer. unless your teacher wants you to put it in decimal form in which all you do is divide 9÷2.

Past records indicate that the probability of online retail orders that turn out to be fraudulent is 0.08. Suppose that, on a gi

Answer:

The probability that there are 2 or more fraudulent online retail orders in the sample is 0.483.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this with a binomial random variable, with sample size n=20 and probability of success p=0.08.

The probability of k online retail orders that turn out to be fraudulent in the sample is:

$P(x=k)=\dbinom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}=\dbinom{20}{k}\cdot0.08^k\cdot0.92^{20-k}$

We have to calculate the probability that 2 or more online retail orders that turn out to be fraudulent. This can be calculated as:

$P(x\geq2)=1-[P(x=0)+P(x=1)]\\\\\\P(x=0)=\dbinom{20}{0}\cdot0.08^{0}\cdot0.92^{20}=1\cdot1\cdot0.189=0.189\\\\\\P(x=1)=\dbinom{20}{1}\cdot0.08^{1}\cdot0.92^{19}=20\cdot0.08\cdot0.205=0.328\\\\\\\\P(x\geq2)=1-[0.189+0.328]\\\\P(x\geq2)=1-0.517=0.483$
