Answer:

x= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Ratio= 5:2:x

Combined ratio= 5+2+x

                        = 7+x

Total amount of money= $15000

Let us apply the part to all method

Hence for Matthew whose share = $7500

5/7+x=  7500/15000

Cross multiply we have

7500*(7+x)= 15000*5

52500+7500x= 75000

Collect like terms we have

7500x= 75000-52500

7500x=22500

x= 22500/7500

x=3

Hence the value of x= 3

Based on historical data, your manager believes that 40% of the company's orders come from first-time customers. A random sample
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

P(0.26 \leq p \leq 0.43)=0.7204-0.0032=0.7172

Step-by-step explanation:

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".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p=0.4,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.4(1-0.4)}{91}}=0.0514)

And we can solve the problem using the z score on this case given by:

z=\frac{p_o -p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

We are interested on this probability:

P(0.26 \leq p \leq 0.43)

And we can use the z score formula, and we got this:

P(\frac{0.26 -0.4}{\sqrt{\frac{0.4(1-0.4)}{91}}} \leq Z \leq \frac{0.43 -0.4}{\sqrt{\frac{0.4(1-0.4)}{91}}})

P(-2.726 \leq Z \leq 0.584)

And we can find this probability like this:

P(-2.726 \leq Z \leq 0.584)=P(Z
