Answer:

a = 9.6 b = 11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

10 percent of 8 is .8

8 + (8 x .1) = 8.8

8.8 + .8 = 9.6

She will be paid 9.6 dollars after 1 full year of working, because working for one year is 12 months, and thats 10 percent of 8 twice. You can also put that as 20 percent of 8, aka 1.6

When you do 8+1.6 it equals 9.6

For the second part, that is 24 months, so 10 percent of 8 4 times. .8+.8+.8+.8 = 3.2

8+3.2 = 11.2

She will be paid 11.2 dollars after 2 full years of working.

Your answer isnt wrong, I dont know why your teacher is saying it is.

One measure of an athlete’s ability is the height of his or her vertical leap. Many professional basketball players are known fo

Answer:

(1) P( $\bar X$ < 26 inches) = 0.0436

(2) P(27.5 inches < $\bar X$ < 28.5 inches) = 0.2812

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean vertical leap of all NBA players is 28 inches. Suppose the standard deviation is 7 inches and 36 NBA players are selected at random.

Firstly, Let $\bar X$ = mean vertical leap for the 36 players

Assuming the data follows normal distribution; so the z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean vertical leap = 28 inches

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 7 inches

n = sample of NBA player = 36

(1) Probability that the mean vertical leap for the 36 players will be less than 26 inches is given by = P( $\bar X$ < 26 inches)

P( $\bar X$ < 26) = P( $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{26-28}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{36} } }$ ) = P(Z < -1.71) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 1.71)

= 1 - 0.95637 = 0.0436

(2) <em>Now, here sample of NBA players is 26 so n = 26.</em>

Probability that the mean vertical leap for the 26 players will be between 27.5 and 28.5 inches is given by = P(27.5 inches < $\bar X$ < 28.5 inches) = P( $\bar X$ < 28.5 inches) - P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 27.5 inches)

P( $\bar X$ < 28.5) = P( $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{28.5-28}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{26} } }$ ) = P(Z < 0.36) = 0.64058 {using z table}

P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 27.5) = P( $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ $\leq$ $\frac{27.5-28}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{26} } }$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.36) = 1 - P(Z < 0.36)

= 1 - 0.64058 = 0.35942

Therefore, P(27.5 inches < $\bar X$ < 28.5 inches) = 0.64058 - 0.35942 = 0.2812

I need help with this problem

Monica [59]

B)7:8 is the answer because:

16 total - 7 green = 8 and so
the ratio of GREEN to RED is
7:8
7 green 8 red

For a) it would be 1:2 as it is 16:8 and simplified would make it 1:2
