Answer:

The number further left on a number line is the smaller number. For positive numbers, the number closest to zero is smaller. For negative numbers, the number closest to zero is larger. If a is less than b, and they are both positive, then a is closer to 0 than b. The opposite of a is also closer to zero than the opposite of b, so the opposite of a must be larger than the opposite of b.

(a) Suppose one house from the city will be selected at random. Use the histogram to estimate the probability that the selected
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

a.    0.71

b.    0.9863

Step-by-step explanation:

a. From the histogram, the relative frequency of houses with a value less than 500,000 is 0.34 and 0.37

-#The probability can therefore be calculated as:

P(500000)=P(x=0)+P(x=500)\\\\\\\\=0.34+0.37\\\\\\\\=0.71

Hence, the probability of the house value being less than 500,000 is o.71

b.

-From the info provided, we calculate the mean=403 and the standard deviation is 278 The probability that the mean value of a sample of n=40 is less than 500000 can be calculated as below:

P(\bar X

Hence, the probability that the mean value of 40 randomly selected houses is less than 500,000 is 0.9863

dem82 [27]
So since her balance must be at least 500, her ballance cannot reach 500
so 794-500=294
see how many 25's you can fit into 294
we know that 4 25's =100 and 294 is roughly 300
so 4 times 3=12
we minus one of the 25's because 294 is less than 300 so

AT&amp;T has a family plan of four lines for $125 and additional lines are $15 each per month. If Jason wants to spend at most $
denis-greek [22]

Given:

Cost of four lines = $125

Cost of each additional line = $15

Jason wants to spend at most $200 per month on cell phone expenses.

To find:

The inequality for the given situation.

Solution:

Let x be the number of additional line.

Cost of one additional line = $15

Cost of x additional line = \$15x

Total cost = Fixed cost + Addition cost

                = 125+15x

It is given that Jason wants to spend at most $200 per month on cell phone expenses. It means the total cost must be less than or equal to 200.

125+15x\leq 200

Therefore, the correct option is C.

If the heights of 300 students are normally distributed with mean 68.0 inches and standard deviation 3.0 inches, how many studen
Lunna [17]
Given:
μ = 68 in, population mean
σ = 3 in, population standard deviation

Calculate z-scores for the following random variable and determine their probabilities from standard tables.

x = 72 in:
z = (x-μ)/σ = (72-68)/3 = 1.333
P(x) = 0.9088

x = 64 in:
z = (64 -38)/3 = -1.333
P(x) = 0.0912

x = 65 in
z = (65 - 68)/3 = -1
P(x) = 0.1587

x = 71:
z = (71-68)/3 = 1
P(x) = 0.8413

Part (a)
For x > 72 in, obtain
300 - 300*0.9088 = 27.36

Answer: 27

Part (b)
For x ≤ 64 in, obtain
300*0.0912 = 27.36

Answer: 27

Part (c)
For 65 ≤ x ≤ 71, obtain
300*(0.8413 - 0.1587) = 204.78

Answer: 204

Part (d)
For x = 68 in, obtain
z = 0
P(x) = 0.5
The number of students is
300*0.5 = 150

Answer: 150
