Step 1

Find the measure of angle x

we know that

If ray NP bisects <MNQ

then

m<MNQ=m<PNM+m<PNQ ------> equation A

and

m<PNM=m<PNQ -------> equation B

we have that

m<MNQ=(8x+12)°

m<PNQ=78°

substitute in equation A

(8x+12)=78+78-------> 8x+12=156------> 8x=156-12

8x=144------> x=18°

Step 2

Find the measure of angle y

we have

m<PNM=(3y-9)°

m<PNM=78°

3y-9=78------> 3y=87------> y=29°

therefore

the answer is

the measure of x is 18° and the measure of y is 29°

Ethan enjoys buying books and going to the movies. He has income of $150 to spend on these two goods each month. The price of a

erica [24]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) the substitution effect would predict Ethan would consume less books and more movies and the income effect would predict he would consume less of both.

B.) the substitution and income effects would both predict Ethan would consume less of both goods.

C.) the substitution effect would predict Ethan would consume more books and less movies, and the income effect would predict he would consume less of both.

D.) the substitution and income effects would both predict Ethan would consume more of both goods.

If he continuos to buy 4 books ans 6 movies the total amount is $170, that he does not have. He has to buy less books or go less to the movies.

A global efect of a certain good (X) price rise can be divided into 2 efects:

substitution effect: indicates a demand reduction of X, resulting from the price rise, making X less atractive to consumption
income effect: indicates a reduction of the demanded quantity of X resulting from the reduction of the acquisition power created by the rise of X price.

So, answer is A.

the distribution of scores on a recent test closely followed a normal distribution wotb a mean of 22 and a standard deviation of

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

1) 22.66%

2) 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The scores of a test are normally distributed.

Mean of the test scores = u = 22

Standard Deviation = $\sigma$ = 4

Part 1) Proportion of students who scored atleast 25 points

Since, the test scores are normally distributed we can use z scores to find this proportion.

We need to find proportion of students with atleast 25 scores. In other words we can write, we have to find:

P(X ≥ 25)

We can convert this value to z score and use z table to find the required proportion.

The formula to calculate the z score is:

$z=\frac{x-u}{\sigma}$

Using the values, we get:

$z=\frac{25-22}{4}=0.75$

So,

P(X ≥ 25) is equivalent to P(z ≥ 0.75)

Using the z table we can find the probability of z score being greater than or equal to 0.75, which comes out to be 0.2266

Since,

P(X ≥ 25) = P(z ≥ 0.75), we can conclude:

The proportion of students with atleast 25 points on the test is 0.2266 or 22.66%

Part 2) 31st percentile of the test scores

31st percentile means 31%(0.31) of the students have scores less than this value.

This question can also be done using z score. We can find the z score representing the 31st percentile for a normal distribution and then convert that z score to equivalent test score.

Using the z table, the z score for 31st percentile comes out to be:

z = -0.496

Now, we have the z scores, we can use this in the formula to calculate the value of x, the equivalent points on the test scores.

Using the values, we get:

$-0.496=\frac{x-22}{4}\\\\ x=4(-0.496) + 22\\\\ x=20.02\\\\ x \approx 20$

Thus, a test score of 20 represent the 31st percentile of the distribution.
