Answer:
It's perfectly okay to be slow. It's better to take your time, and thoroughly examine and understand the content than try to rush through it, which leaves many gaps in your knowledge in the process.
Part a)
It was given that 3% of patients gained weight as a side effect.
This means


The mean is


The standard deviation is



We want to find the probability that exactly 24 patients will gain weight as side effect.
P(X=24)
We apply the Continuity Correction Factor(CCF)
P(24-0.5<X<24+0.5)=P(23.5<X<24.5)
We convert to z-scores.

Part b) We want to find the probability that 24 or fewer patients will gain weight as a side effect.
P(X≤24)
We apply the continuity correction factor to get;
P(X<24+0.5)=P(X<24.5)
We convert to z-scores to get:

Part c)
We want to find the probability that
11 or more patients will gain weight as a side effect.
P(X≥11)
Apply correction factor to get:
P(X>11-0.5)=P(X>10.5)
We convert to z-scores:


Part d)
We want to find the probability that:
between 24 and 28, inclusive, will gain weight as a side effect.
P(24≤X≤28)=
P(23.5≤X≤28.5)
Convert to z-scores:

Answer:
$5.20
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the tax rate first:
$1.20
-------------- = 0.04
$30.00
The tax rate is 4%.
Then the tax on a $130 item is 0.04($130) = $5.20
Answer:
Slope = - ⅖
Y-intercept = (0, 4), where <em>b</em> = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the linear equation in standard form, 2x + 5y = 20, where A = 2, B = 5, and C = 20:
Start by transforming the standard equation into its slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where <em>m</em> = slope, and <em>b</em> = y-intercept.
Subtract 2x from both sides:
2x -2x + 5y = - 2x + 20
5y = -2x + 20
Divide both sides by 5 to isolate y:

y = - ⅖x + 4 ⇒ This is the slope-intercept form where the <u>slope</u>,<em> </em><em><u>m</u></em><u> = -⅖</u>, and the y-intercept,<em> b</em> = 4. The y-intercept is the point on the graph where it crosses the y-axis, and has coordinates of (0, <em>b</em>). The y-coordinate is the value of <em>b </em>in the slope-intercept form. Therefore, the <u>y-intercept</u> is (0, 4).
