Answer:
$120.14
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is an example of a compound percentage decrease.
To work this out you would first need to convert the percentage of 25 into a decimal. You can do this by dividing the percentage of 25 by 100, this gives you 0.25. This is because percentages are out of 100.
The next step is to minus 0.25 from 1, this gives you 0.75. This is because we are working out the percentage decrease.
The final step is to multiply the amount of 900 by 0.75 to the power of 7, this gives you $120.14.
1) Divide 25 by 100.
2) Minus 0.25 from 1.
3) Multiply 900 by 0.75 to the power of 7.
Answer:
(a) The standard deviation of the amount spent is $3229.18.
(b) The probability that a household spends between $4000 and $6000 is 0.2283.
(c) The range of spending for 3% of households with the highest daily transportation cost is $12382.86 or more.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the average annual amount American households spend on daily transportation is $6312 (Money, August 2001). Assume that the amount spent is normally distributed.
(a) It is stated that 5% of American households spend less than $1000 for daily transportation.
Let X = <u><em>the amount spent on daily transportation</em></u>
The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;
Z = ~ N(0,1)
where, = average annual amount American households spend on daily transportation = $6,312
= standard deviation
Now, 5% of American households spend less than $1000 on daily transportation means that;
P(X < $1,000) = 0.05
P( <
) = 0.05
P(Z < ) = 0.05
In the z-table, the critical value of z which represents the area of below 5% is given as -1.645, this means;
= 3229.18
So, the standard deviation of the amount spent is $3229.18.
(b) The probability that a household spends between $4000 and $6000 is given by = P($4000 < X < $6000)
P($4000 < X < $6000) = P(X < $6000) - P(X $4000)
P(X < $6000) = P( <
) = P(Z < -0.09) = 1 - P(Z
0.09)
= 1 - 0.5359 = 0.4641
P(X $4000) = P(
) = P(Z
-0.72) = 1 - P(Z < 0.72)
= 1 - 0.7642 = 0.2358
Therefore, P($4000 < X < $6000) = 0.4641 - 0.2358 = 0.2283.
(c) The range of spending for 3% of households with the highest daily transportation cost is given by;
P(X > x) = 0.03 {where x is the required range}
P( >
) = 0.03
P(Z > ) = 0.03
In the z-table, the critical value of z which represents the area of top 3% is given as 1.88, this means;
x = $6312 + 6070.86 = $12382.86
So, the range of spending for 3% of households with the highest daily transportation cost is $12382.86 or more.
Answer:
60.36 steps West from centre
85.36 steps North from centre
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Refer to attached</em>
Musah start point and movement is captured in the picture.
- 1. He moves 50 steps to North,
- 2. Then 25 steps to West,
- 3. Then 50 steps on a bearing of 315°. We now North is measured 0°
or 360°, so bearing of 315° is same as North-West 45°.
<em />
<em>Note. According to Pythagorean theorem, 45° right triangle with hypotenuse of a has legs equal to a/√2.</em>
<u />
<u>How far West Is Musah's final point from the centre?</u>
- 25 + 50/√2 ≈ 60.36 steps
<u>How far North Is Musah's final point from the centre?</u>
- 50 + 50/√2 ≈ 85.36 steps
