Answer:

-18 < -x-4 < -8

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the initial range as:

4 < x < 14

we multiplicate the inequation by -1, as:

-4 > -x > -14

if we multiply by a negative number, we need to change the symbols < to >.

Then, we sum the number -4, as:

-4-4> -x-4 > -14-4

-8 > -x-4 > -18

Finally, the range for -x-4 is:

-18 < -x-4 < -8

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The graph of a continuous probability distribution is a curve. Probability is represented by area under the curve.

The curve is called the probability density function (abbreviated as pdf).

We use the symbol f(x) to represent the curve

therefore

The probability density function f(x) represents . the height of the function at x.

Answer:

The 90th percentile for the distribution of the total contributions is $6,342,525.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
