Answer:

cost including tax = $445.5

rate of tax= 10%

cost excluding tax= x(say)

Now,

cost including tax = x + 10% of x

or, 445.5 = x + (10x)/100

or, 445.5 = (10x + x)/10

or, 445.5*10 = 11x

or, 4455/11 =x

or, x = 405

Hence, cost of the watch before tax is $405.

Both sides aren't equal because 1-sin^2x = cos^2x and cos^2x / 1+cosx can never equal cosx

What percentage of the data falls outside 1 standard deviation of the mean?

Alik [6]

We all know about the bell curve i.e. normal distribution curve. It is centered about the mean and spread equally on each side.

We describe the area of the curve with the help of standard deviations.

With in 1 standard deviation about the mean i.e. from -1 s.d. (left of mean) to +1 s.d. (right of mean), it covers 68% of the total area of curve.

So, the data that falls outside 1 standard deviation of the mean would be equal to (100% - 68%) i.e. 32%.

So, 32% is the final answer.

The heights of a certain type of tree are approximately normally distributed with a mean height p = 5 ft and a standard

arsen [322]

Answer:

A tree with a height of 6.2 ft is 3 standard deviations above the mean

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒ $1^s^t$ statement: A tree with a height of 5.4 ft is 1 standard deviation below the mean(FALSE)

an X value is found Z standard deviations from the mean mu if:

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

In this case we have: $\mu=5\ ft$ $\sigma=0.4\ ft$

We have four different values of X and we must calculate the Z-score for each

For X =5.4\ ft

$Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\Z=\frac{5.4-5}{0.4}=1$

Therefore, A tree with a height of 5.4 ft is 1 standard deviation above the mean.

⇒ $2^n^d$ statement:A tree with a height of 4.6 ft is 1 standard deviation above the mean. (FALSE)

For X =4.6 ft

$Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\Z=\frac{4.6-5}{0.4}=-1$

Therefore, a tree with a height of 4.6 ft is 1 standard deviation below the mean .

⇒ $3^r^d$ statement:A tree with a height of 5.8 ft is 2.5 standard deviations above the mean (FALSE)

For X =5.8 ft

$Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\Z=\frac{5.8-5}{0.4}=2$

Therefore, a tree with a height of 5.8 ft is 2 standard deviation above the mean.

⇒ $4^t^h$ statement:A tree with a height of 6.2 ft is 3 standard deviations above the mean. (TRUE)

For X =6.2\ ft

$Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\Z=\frac{6.2-5}{0.4}=3$

Therefore, a tree with a height of 6.2 ft is 3 standard deviations above the mean.
