To solve for proportion we make use of the z statistic.
The procedure is to solve for the value of the z score and then locate for the
proportion using the standard distribution tables. The formula for z score is:
z = (X – μ) / σ
where X is the sample value, μ is the mean value and σ is
the standard deviation
when X = 70
z1 = (70 – 100) / 15 = -2
Using the standard distribution tables, proportion is P1
= 0.0228
when X = 130
z2 = (130 – 100) /15 = 2
Using the standard distribution tables, proportion is P2
= 0.9772
Therefore the proportion between X of 70 and 130 is:
P (70<X<130) = P2 – P1
P (70<X<130) = 0.9772 - 0.0228
P (70<X<130) = 0.9544
Therefore 0.9544 or 95.44% of the test takers scored
between 70 and 130.
Steps to solve:
x/3 + 1/4 = 1/3
~Subtract 1/4 to both sides
x/3 = 1/12
~Multiply 3 to both sides
x = 1/4

Answer:
Sarah spent 45.76
Jack spent 38.16
Jack spent more on tax
Step-by-step explanation:
Sarahs game costs:
tax = 44 *.04 = 1.76
Total cost = game + tax
= 44 + 1.76
=45.76
Jacks game costs:
tax = 36 *.06 = 2.16
Total cost = game + tax
= 36 + 2.16
=38.16
Jack spent more on tax
Answer:
$1.89
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 8p+3f=$10.39
2) 5p+4f=$10.51
where p represents pencil & f represents folder.
multiply the first equation by 5 and the second equation by 8.
40p+15f=$51.95
40p+32f=$84.08
Subtract
17f=$32.13
f=$32.13/17 =$1.89
Answer:
I believe the correct answer is 60%
