To compute for the probability value of P-value, we need to see first as to how is 3 years from the given mean value.
So, for this case we have (3 - 4) = 1 below the standard deviation of 0.8. Thus, the z -score for this would me z < -1/0.8 = -1.25.
Given a z-score of z < -1.25. Using the table chart for the P-values, we have P(z < -1.25) = 0.1056. Meaning there is a 10.56% chance that a CD will last for less than 3 years.
Thus, probability is 10.56%<span>.</span>
Answer:
x = -1 and x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>What are the solutions of the equation (x – 3)² + 2(x – 3) -8 = 0? Use u substitution to solve.</em>
<em />
(x – 3)² + 2(x – 3) -8 = 0 -------------------------------------------------------(1)
To solve this problem, we will follow the steps below;
let u = x-3
we will replace x-3 by u in the given equation:
(x – 3)² + 2(x – 3) -8 = 0
u² + 2u -8 = 0 ----------------------------------------------------------- --------------(2)
We will now solve the above quadratic equation
find two numbers such that its product gives -8 and its sum gives 2
The two numbers are 4 and -2
That is; 4×-2 = -8 and 4+(-2) = 2
we will replace 2u by (4u -2u) in equation (2)
u² + 2u -8 = 0
u² + 4u - 2u -8 = 0
u(u+4) -2(u+4) = 0
(u+4)(u-2) = 0
Either u + 4 = 0
u = -4
or
u-2 = 0
u = 2
Either u = -4 or u = 2
But u = x-3
x = u +3
when u = -4
x = u + 3
x = -4 + 3
x=-1
when u = 2
x = u + 3
x = 2 + 3
x=5
Therefore, x = -1 and x =5

Define x:

Let the tie be x
Tie = x
Shirt = x - 4.02
--------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
--------------------------------------------
The sum of the shirt and tie is $75.62
x + x -4.02 = 75.62
2x - 4.02 = 75.62
2x = 79.64
x = $39.82
--------------------------------------------
Find the cost of tie and shirt :
--------------------------------------------
Tie = x = $39.82
Shirt = x - $4.02 = $39.82 - $4.02 = $35.80
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The price of the short is $35.80
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One number is 15 and the other is 16. You get this answer by first finding a factor of 3(15) that when it's subtracted from 31 gives you a factor of 8(16). Then you divide in this case 15 by 3 and get 5 and 16 by 8 and get 2. The reason you divided the numbers is because now you have 5 which is 1/3 of 15 and 2 which is 1/8 of 16. Now that you have your numbers that equal your fractions multiply 5 which is your 1/3 by the 2 from your 2/3 to get 10 which is 2/3 of 15 and 2 which is 1/8 by the 5 from you 5/8 to get 10 which is 5/8 of 16
