Answer:

Man has total $8000 money

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total money he had be x

Now, as he spent \frac{15}{16} of his money in buying a car

and, it is also given that price of car is $7500

So, we can write it as,

\frac{15}{16} \times x = 7500

⇒x= \frac{7500 \times16}{15}

⇒ x=\frac{120000}{15}\\

⇒ x = 8000

Hence, before buying car he has $8000.

X=his fortune
15/16X=7500
X=7500 x 16/15
X=8000

(\frac{5}{1} )  \times  ( \frac{4}{1} ) \times ( \frac{3}{1} )

5 \times 4 \times 3 = 60

then, all divided by,

(\frac{12}{3}) = 220

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

  $1.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The total purchase can be described by ...

  4(2h +1.25) = 18.20 . . . . where h is the price of a hot dog

  8h = 13.20 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5.00

  h = 1.65 . . . . . divide by 8

The price of a hot dog was $1.65.

A sample of size 40 is taken from an infinite population whose mean and standard deviation are 68 and 12 respectively. the proba
gulaghasi [49]

To solve this problem, we can use the z statistic to find for the probability. The formula for z score is:

z = (x – u) / s

Where,

u = the sample mean = 68

s = standard deviation of the samples = 12

x = sample value = 70

In this case, what is asked is the probability that the sample mean is larger than 70, therefore this corresponds to the right of z on the graph of normal distribution.

z = (70 – 68) / 12

z = 2 / 12

z = 0.17

Therefore finding for P at z ≥ 0.17 using the standard distribution tables:

P (z = 0.17) = 0.5675

But this is not the answer yet since this is the P to the left of z. Therefore the correct one is:

P (z ≥ 0.17) = 1 - 0.5675

P (z ≥ 0.17) = 0.4325 = 43.25%
