Answer: 25%

Step-by-step explanation: The question tells us that the population decreases by 1/4 every single year. That means, since 1/4 equals .25, the population decreases by 25% every year :)

After breaking your penny bank, you notice that you have $4.87 in quarters ($0.25), dimes ($0.10), nickels ($0.05), and pennies
ira [324]

Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dimes  be 'x'.

Let the number of nickels  be '\dfrac{3}{2}x'.

Let the number of pennies be \dfrac{3}{2}\times 2x=3x

Let the number of quarters be '3x-34'.

As we know that

1 quarter = $0.25

1 dime = $0.10

1 nickel = $0.05

1 penny = $0.01

According to question, we get that

0.10x+0.05\times \dfrac{3x}{2}+0.01\times 3x+0.25(3x-34)=4.87\\\\0.10x+0.075x+0.03x+0.75x-8.5=4.87\\\\\\0.955x=4.87+8.5\\\\0.955x=13.37\\\\x=\dfrac{13.37}{0.955}\\\\x=14

So, the number of pennies is given by

3x=3\times 14=42

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.

Consider the population of all 1-gallon cans of dusty rose paint manufactured by a particular paint company. Suppose that a norm
Artemon [7]

Answer:

a) 0.5.

b) 0.8413

c) 0.8413

d) 0.6826

e) 0.9332

f) 1

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 = 6, \sigma = 0.2

(a) P(x > 6) =

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 6. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{6-6}{0.2}

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a pvalue of 0.5.

1 - 0.5 = 0.5.

(b) P(x < 6.2)=

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 6.2. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{6.2-6}{0.2}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a pvalue of 0.8413

(c) P(x ≤ 6.2) =

In the normal distribution, the probability of an exact value, for example, P(X = 6.2), is always zero, which means that P(x ≤ 6.2) = P(x < 6.2) = 0.8413.

(d) P(5.8 < x < 6.2) =

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 6.2 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X  5.8.

X = 6.2

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{6.2-6}{0.2}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a pvalue of 0.8413

X = 5.8

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{5.8-6}{0.2}

Z = -1

Z = -1 has a pvalue of 0.1587

0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6826

(e) P(x > 5.7) =

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 5.7.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{5.8-6}{0.2}

Z = -1.5

Z = -1.5 has a pvalue of 0.0668

1 - 0.0668 = 0.9332

(f) P(x > 5) =

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 5.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{5-6}{0.2}

Z = -5

Z = -5 has a pvalue of 0.

1 - 0 = 1
