Why is the interest rate of a loan one of the most important things to consider when shopping around for loans? a. The interest rate should be ignored, because there’s nothing a consumer can do to change it. b. The interest rate is essentially how long you have to pay off your loan, and the shorter the better. c. The interest rate can drastically change the total amount paid to the lender, in the case of mortgages, up to thousands of dollars. d. The interest rate does not change, even between banks, so choosing the right time to borrow is essential.

x= 3^y

step-by-step explanation:

you just switch the numbers basically so it would be 3/17

irst, find the z score of a score of 80. this is given by the formula z = (x-u)/o, where x is the score, u is the mean, and o is the standard deviation. this gives

z = (80-78)/12 = 1/6 = .1667

now, find what percentile a z score of 1/6 correlates to in the normal distribution.

a z score of 1/6 = .1667 is equivalent to the 56.36th percentile of the distribution. so the probability a score is over this is 1-.5636 = .4364

the mean of a sample mean is equal to the original mean. however, the standard deviation of a sample mean is equal to the original standard deviation divided by the square root of n (sample size). so the new standard deviation is 12/sqrt(16) = 3.

the new z score is 80-78/3 = 2/3 = .667. this is equivalent to the 74.86th percentile. so the probability that the mean will be greater than this score is 1-.7486 = .2514.
