Answer:

<em>2.5%</em><em> of the snakes are longer than 16.6 in</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The Z score is,

Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

here,

X = raw score = 16.6

μ = mean = 15

σ = standard deviation = 0.8

So,

Z=\dfrac{16.6-15}{0.8}=2

Z-score is the measurement of how many standard deviation away the data is from the mean. Hence, the value 16.6 is 2 standard deviations right to the mean.

Approximately 95% of the data falls within two standard deviations of the mean. (between the mean-2 times the standard deviation, and the mean+2 times the standard deviation)

So the 5% of data are left in the remaining space. As we have to find the amount of snakes which are longer than 16.6 in i.e we have to find the area to the right of 16.6.

The remaining 5% of amount is divided in two equal parts.

Therefore, \dfrac{5}{2}=2.5\% of the snakes are longer than 16.6 in

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "3.5%" The lengths of a particular snake are approximately normally distributed with a given mean mc025-1.jpg = 15 in. and standard deviation mc025-2.jpg = 0.8 in. The percentage of the snakes that are nlonger than 16.6 in is 3.5%

A population of butterflies grows in such a way that each generation is simply 1.5 times the previous generation. There were 350
kap26 [50]

Answer:

378.5 or just 378

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear model with x representing the number of generations that's gone by, y is the number of butterflies after x number of generations has gone by, and the 350 represents the number of butterflies initially (before any time has gone by.  When x = 0, y = 350 so that's the y-intercept of our equation.)

The form for a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the rate of change and b is the y-intercept, the initial amount when x = 0.

Our rate of change is 1.5 and the initial amount of butterflies is 350, so filling in the equation we get a model of y = 1.5x + 350.

If we want y when x = 19, plug 19 in for x and solve for y:

y = 1.5(19) + 350

y = 378.5

Since we can't have .5 of a butterfly we will round down to 378

Clarissa needs a $2,500 loan in order to buy a car. Which loan option would allow her to pay the least amount of interest?
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Clarissa needs a $2,500 loan in order to buy a car.

There are 4 options of loan we will calculate all the options that pay the least amount of interest.

To calculate the interest we will use this formula :

\frac{P\times R\times time}{100}

Where P = Principal amount

R = rate of interest

T = time in years

A) Principal 2,500 interest 4.75% and time 18 months (1.5 years)

\frac{2500\times 4.75\times 1.5}{100}

= $178.125

B) Principal 2,500 interest 4% and time 30 months (2.5 years)

\frac{2500\times 4\times 2.5}{100}

= $250

C) Principal 2,500 interest 4.25% and time 24 months (2 years)

\frac{2500\times 4.25\times 2}{100}

= $212.50

D) Principal 2,500 interest 4.50% and time 36 months (3 years)

\frac{2500\times 4.5\times 3}{100}

= $337.50

The least amount of interest would be in option A.
