Answer:

Eric's earning is $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Robert's earnings with R and Eric's with E.

$R = 10\\R = 2E - 4$

Required

What is the value of E?

Substitute 10 for R in the second equation.

$10 = 2E - 4$

Solve for 2E

$2E = 10 + 4$

$2E = 14$

Solve for E

$E = 14/2$

$E = 7$

<em>Eric's earning is $7</em>

Lauren spent 3/5 of her money on a refrigerator. The refrigerator cost $756. How much money did she have left?

Lelechka [254]

Fractions are the part/whole. We can set this up to be...

3/5 = 756
756 x5/3 = 1260.

if she had 1260 to begin with and spent 756, she would have 504.00 left.

The heights of fully grown sugar maple trees are normally distributed, with a mean of 87.5 feet and a standard deviation of 6.25

Julli [10]

Answer:

20.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the mean (m) is equal to 87.5, the standard deviation (sd) 6.25 and the sample size (n) = 12

They ask us for P (x <86)

For this, the first thing is to calculate z, which is given by the following equation:

z = (x - m) / (sd / (n ^ 1/2))

We have all these values, replacing we have:

z = (86 - 87.5) / (6.25 / (12 ^ 1/2))

z = -0.83

With the normal distribution table (attached), we have that at that value, the probability is:

P (z <-0.83) = 0.2033

The probability is 20.33%
