Using the normal distribution, we have that:

a) The sketch of the situation is given at the end of this answer.

b) The probability is:

P(2.8 \leq X \leq 7) = 0.8284

In a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

  • It 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, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

  • Mean of 4.1 years, thus \mu = 4.1.
  • Standard deviation of 1.3 years, thus \sigma = 1.3.

Item a:

The part between 2.8 and 7 years is shaded on the sketch given at the end of this answer.

Item b:

The probability is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 7 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 2.8</u>, thus:

X = 7:

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

Z = \frac{7 - 4.1}{1.3}

Z = 2.23

Z = 2.23 has a p-value of 0.9871.

X = 2.8:

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

Z = \frac{2.8 - 4.1}{1.3}

Z = -1

Z = -1 has a p-value of 0.1587.

0.9871 - 0.1587 = 0.8284, thus:

P(2.8 \leq X \leq 7) = 0.8284

The average monthly rent for a? 1000-sq-ft apartment in a major metropolitan area from 1998 through 2005 can be approximated by
Lunna [17]

Answer:

  t = 1.107

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the solution using derivatives involves finding the lower zero of the quadratic that is the second derivative of the given function. That second derivative will be ...

  f''(t) = 12(1.6714)t^2 -6(22.45)t +2(62.27)

  = 20.0568t^2 -134.7t +124.54

  = 20.0568(t -3.35796)² -101.619 . . . . rewrite to vertex form

Then f''(t) = 0 when ...

  t ≈ 3.35796 -√(101.619/20.0568) ≈ 1.10706

__

The solution is perhaps more easily found using a graphing calculator to find the peak of the first derivative. (See attached.) It tells us ...

  t ≈ 1.107

1.1 years after the beginning of 1998 is about 1.2 months into 1999.

Rents were increasing most rapidly in early February of 1999.

Sarah and Bryan went shopping and spent a total of $47.50 Bry an spent $15.50 less than what Sarah spent how much did bryan spen
Bogdan [553]
Since Bryan spent $15.50 less than Sarah, you would start by dividing the total amount they spent together in half.

$47.50 ÷ 2 = $23.75

Then you would take Bryan's 1/2 of the total and subtract $15.50.

$23.75 - $15.50 = $8.25

So, it looks like Bryan spent $8.25.

Check step:

If you add it all back together:

Sarah + Sarah Bryan = Total
$23.75 + $15.50 + $8.25 = $47.50
