1. Avital counted 40 green cars and 20 silver cars in the parking lot. If the number of green cars stay the same, how many more

silver cars would need to be added so the ratios of green to silver cars is 1 to 4?

X represents the number that would be added to the silver cars.

x/40= 4
X=40x4
x=160

Subtract the given 20 from 160 because 160 is the total number
160-20=140
Therefore 140 would be added to 20 silver cars to get the ratio1:4

A principal of 750$ is invested in an account at 9% per year simple interest. What is the account total after 5 years

balandron [24]

Hi there
The formula of the future value of simple interest is
A=p (1+rt)
A future value?
P principle 750
R interest rate 0.09
T time 5years
So
A=750×(1+0.09×5)
A=1,087.5

Good luck!

What is the center of the circle? Please show steps!

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

<h2>A. (0, 4)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

(h, k) - center

r - radius

We have the equation:

$x^2+(y-4)^2=25\\\\(x-0)^2+(y-4)^2=5^2$

h = 0, k = 4, r = 5

It is known that the life of a particular auto transmission follows a normal distribution with mean 72,000 miles and standard de

scoray [572]

Answer:

a) $P(X$

$P(z$

b) $P(X>65000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{65000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{65000-72000}{12000})=P(z>-0.583)$

$P(z>-0.583)=1-P(Z$

c) $P(X>100000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{100000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{100000-72000}{12000})=P(z>2.33)$

$P(z>2.33)=1-P(Z$

Sicne this probability just represent 1% of the data we can consider this value as unusual.

d) $z=1.28$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=72000 +1.28*12000=87360$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 87360.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the life of a particular auto transmission of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(72000,12000)$

Where $\mu=72000$ and $\sigma=12000$

We are interested on this probability

$P(X$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(X$

And we can find this probability using excel or the normal standard table and we got:

$P(z$

Part b

$P(X>65000)$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(X>65000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{65000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{65000-72000}{12000})=P(z>-0.583)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and excel or the normal standard table and we got:

$P(z>-0.583)=1-P(Z$

Part c

$P(X>100000)$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(X>100000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{100000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{100000-72000}{12000})=P(z>2.33)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and excel or the normal standard table and we got:

$P(z>2.33)=1-P(Z$

Sicne this probability just represent 1% of the data we can consider this value as unusual.

Part d

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

$P(X>a)=0.1$ (a)

$P(X$ (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.9 of the area on the left and 0.1 of the area on the right it's z=1.28. On this case P(Z<1.28)=0.9 and P(z>1.28)=0.1

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

$P(X$

$P(z$

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

$z=1.28$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=72000 +1.28*12000=87360$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 87360.
