Complete question is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

Percentile is 74th percentile

Step-by-step explanation:

All the lengths given are;

Bear Lengths 36.5 37.5 39.5 40.5 41.5 42.5 43.0 46.0 46.5 46.5 48.5 48.5 48.5 49.5 51.5 52.5 53.0 53.0 54.5 56.8 57.5 58.5 58.5 58.5 59.0 60.5 60.5 61.0 61.0 61.5 62.0 62.5 63.5 63.5 63.5 64.0 64.0 64.5 64.5 65.5 66.5 67.0 67.5 69.0 69.5 70.5 72.0 72.5 72.5 72.5 72.5 73.0 76.0 77.5

The number of lengths (inches) of bears given are 54 in number.

We are looking for the percentile corresponding to 65.5 in.

Looking at the lengths given, since they are already arranged from smallest to highest, let's locate the position of 65.5 in.

The position of 65.5 in is the 40th among 54 lengths given.

If the percentile is P, then;

P% x 54 = 40

P = (40 × 100)/54

P ≈ 74

This table represents a quadratic function. x y 0 -3 1 -3.75 2 -4 3 -3.75 4 -3 5 -1.75 What is the value of a in the function’s

serg [7]

Answer:

a = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Our strategy to solve this problem will be to use the information given in the table to obtain first the value of c in the quadratic equation which has the form ax^2 + bx + c and then form a system of 2 linear equations and solve for the coefficients a and b as follow:

from x=0 and y=-3 a*0 + b* 0 + c = - 3

c = -3

from x=1 and y= -3.75

a*(1) + *(1) + (-3) = -3.75

a + b = -3.75 + 3 = -0.75

from x= 2 and y = -4

a* (2)^2 + b*(2) + (-3) = -4

4a + 2b = -4 +1

4a + 2b = -1

Now we can solve the system f equations by elimination:

a + b = -0.75

4a + 2b = -1

multiply first equation by -2 and add to the second and get

-2a - 2b = +1.50

4a + 2b = -1

2a = 0.50 and substituting into any of the equations get b = -1

so the quadratic equation has a= 0.25 b= -1 c= -3

we can even plug the any of the other values for x given in the table and check the answer.

Cindy’s parking garage charges $3.50 for weekday parking, and weekends are half price. If Cindy parked in the garage 20 times pe

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: $\$64.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that for weekdays parking the price is $3.50 and weekends are half price. Then for weekends, the price is the following:

$\frac{\$3.50}{2}=\$1.75$

You know that Cindy parked in the garage 20 times per month, and three of these days were weekend days. This means that she parked 17 times in week days and 3 times in weekends days.

Therefore, the total amount of money she would spend on parking per month can be calculated with:

$Total\ per\ month=17(\$3.50)+3(\$1.75)\\\\Total\ per\ month=\$59.5+\$5.25\\\\Total\ per\ month=\$64.75$
