Answer:

319 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ratio of boys : girls = 15 : 11
No. of boys = 435

Solving

Let g be the number of girls
15/11 = 435/g
g = 435 x 11 / 15
g = 29 x 11
g = 319 girls

Answer:

15:11 ,where 15 = 435

So, 11 = 435×11//15 = 29×11 = 319

Hence, No. of girls = 319

Richard deposits $237.95 every month into his mortgage. At the end of 30 years, he has a balance of $183,710.77. What interest h

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

$98,048.77

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to find out how much he has put in without interest so you would do 237.95*12 to figure out how much he puts in per year then times that number by 30 to figure out how much he has put in in total, after this you subtract this total from the 183,710.77 to get the total amount of interest

Answer:

a) 22497.7 < μ< 24502.3

b) With 99% confidence the possible error will not exceed 1002.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean (μ) = 23500 kilometers per year

Standard deviation (σ) = 3900 kilometers

Confidence level (c) = 99% = 0.99

number of samples (n) = 100

a) α = 1 - c = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

$\frac{\alpha }{2} =\frac{0.01}{2}=0.005\\ z_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}=z_{0.005}=2.57$

Using normal distribution table, $z_{0.005$ is the z value of 1 - 0.005 = 0.995 of the area to the right which is 2.57.

The margin of error (e) is given as:

$e= z_{0.005}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } = 2.57*\frac{3900}{\sqrt{100} } =1002.3$

The 99% confidence interval = (μ - e, μ + e) = (23500 - 1002.3, 23500 + 1002.3) = (22497.7, 24502.3)

Confidence interval = 22497.7 < μ< 24502.3

b) With 99% confidence the possible error will not exceed 1002.3

You want to find the value of x for which the area under the curve to the left of x is 0.6. One way to do that is to create the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for the given PDF, then see where it is equal to 0.6.

Doing that, we find a = 5.
