The height of seaweed of all plants in a body of water are normally distributed with a mean of 10 cm and a standard deviation of

2 cm. Which length separates the lowest 30% of the means of the plant heights in a sampling distribution of sample size 15 from the highest 70%? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Use the z-table below:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest is:

X: height of seaweed.

X~N(μ;σ²)

μ= 10 cm

σ= 2 cm

You have to find the value of the variable X that separates the bottom 0.30 of the distribution from the top 0.70

P(X≤x)= 0.30

P(X≥x)= 0.70

Using the standard normal distribution you have to find the value of Z that separates the bottom 0.30 from the top 0.70 and then using the formula Z= (X-μ)/σ translate the Z value to the corresponding X value.

P(Z≤z)= 0.30

In the body of the table look for the probability of 0.30 and reach the margins to form the Z value. The mean of the distribution is "0" so below 50% of the distribution you'll find negative values.

z= -0.52

Now you have to clear the value of X:

Z= (X-μ)/σ

Z*σ= X-μ

X= (Z*σ)+μ

X= (-0.52*2)+10= 8.96

The value of seaweed height that divides the bottom 30%  from the top 70% is 8.96 cm

I hope this helps!

How do you find the volume of compound shapes
ioda

so in this case, we have a rectangular prism, a box, at the bottom, and a cone on top.

the prism is just a 17x9x5, and its volume is just that product.

the cone uses the short side of 9 for its diameter, so the diameter of the cone is 9, meaning its radius is half that or 4.5, whilst its height is 10.


\bf \stackrel{\textit{volume of the prism}}{(17\cdot 9\cdot 5)}~~+~~\stackrel{\textit{voume of the cone}~~\frac{\pi r^2 h}{3}}{\cfrac{\pi (4.5)^2(10)}{3}}\implies 765+\cfrac{202.5\pi }{3}~\approx~977.0575

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

(3)(5) + (1/3)(5) + (3)(1/4) + (1/3)(1/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

(3 1/3)(5 1/4) =

= (3 1/3)(5 + 1/4)

= (3 1/3)(5) + (3 1/3)(1/4)

= (3 + 1/3)(5) + (3 + 1/3)(1/4)

= (3)(5) + (1/3)(5) + (3)(1/4) + (1/3)(1/4)

3. Use Sydney's Minimum Payment Summary to answer the statements that follow.
VashaNatasha [74]

Explanation:

<u>Part 1</u>

The total monthly payment will remain level at the amount currently scheduled for Month 1. The revised totals are shown at the bottom of the attachment.

When Card C is fully paid, the same total payment will continue to be used until all card debts are paid.

__

<u>Part 2</u>

The excess over the sum of minimum payments will be applied to Card C (24% rate). The minimum payment will continue to be made for the other credit cards. The revised Card C payments are shown at the bottom of the attachment.

When Card C is fully paid, the excess over the sum of minimum payments will be applied to Card B (20% rate).

_____

<em>Comment on the question</em>

You can't think too much about the given numbers. The minimum payment amounts given here decrease way faster than you would expect. For example, the $1.36 decrease in the minimum payment for Card A from Month 1 to Month 2 corresponds to a balance decrease of more than $90 when the interest rate is 1.5% per month. That is not possible if the payment is only $32.19.

Apparently, the question is not about the actual numbers. Rather, it is about the strategy of debt reduction. Some (bogus) numbers are given here just so you have something to think about.

The approach described in the problem statement has been given the name "debt avalanche" to distinguish the approach from Dave Ramsey's "debt snowball." The "debt snowball" approach pays off the <em>minimum balance</em> first, not the highest interest rate. It also includes some extra cash above the sum of minimum balances. ($100 is suggested; more is better.) The psychological effect of the quick win is considered to be more important than the extra cost of carrying the higher-rate debt for a longer period.

Which shows how to solve the equation Three-fourths x = negative 6 for x in one step?
My name is Ann [436]

option A i.e. Three-fourths (four-thirds) x = negative 6 (four-thirds).

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have , The given expression as Three-fourths x = negative 6  , which can be written as \frac{3}{4} (x) = -6 . Now in order to solve this equation in one step , we must notice that coefficient of x must be 1 but it's  \frac{3}{4} , Let's make coefficient of x  as 1 by multiplying both side of equations by 4/3:

\frac{3}{4} (x) = -6

⇒ \frac{3}{4} (x) = -6

⇒ \frac{3}{4}(\frac{4}{3} ) (x) = -6(\frac{4}{3} )

⇒ x = -6(\frac{4}{3} )

⇒ x = -2(4)

⇒ x = -8

Therefore, x= -8 & correct option to solve the equation Three-fourths x = negative 6 for x in one step is <u>option A i.e. Three-fourths (four-thirds) x = negative 6 (four-thirds).</u>
