Suppose you learn that 5% of American households spend less than $1000 for dailytransportation. What is the standard deviation of the amount spent?b. What is the probability that a household spends between $4000 and $6000?c. What is the range of spending for the 3% of households with the highest daily transportationcost?

(a) The standard deviation of the amount spent is $3229.18.

(b) The probability that a household spends between $4000 and $6000 is 0.2283.

(c) The range of spending for 3% of households with the highest daily transportation cost is $12382.86 or more.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the average annual amount American households spend on daily transportation is $6312 (Money, August 2001). Assume that the amount spent is normally distributed.

(a) It is stated that 5% of American households spend less than $1000 for daily transportation.

Let X = the amount spent on daily transportation

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                          Z  =    ~ N(0,1)

where, = average annual amount American households spend on daily transportation = $6,312

            = standard deviation

Now, 5% of American households spend less than $1000 on daily transportation means that;

                      P(X < $1,000) = 0.05

                      P( < ) = 0.05

                      P(Z < ) = 0.05

In the z-table, the critical value of z which represents the area of below 5% is given as -1.645, this means;

                             = 3229.18

So, the standard deviation of the amount spent is $3229.18.

(b) The probability that a household spends between $4000 and $6000 is given by = P($4000 < X < $6000)

      P($4000 < X < $6000) = P(X < $6000) - P(X $4000)

 P(X < $6000) = P( < ) = P(Z < -0.09) = 1 - P(Z 0.09)

                                                            = 1 - 0.5359 = 0.4641

 P(X $4000) = P( ) = P(Z -0.72) = 1 - P(Z < 0.72)

                                                            = 1 - 0.7642 = 0.2358  

Therefore, P($4000 < X < $6000) = 0.4641 - 0.2358 = 0.2283.

(c) The range of spending for 3% of households with the highest daily transportation cost is given by;

                    P(X > x) = 0.03   {where x is the required range}

                    P( > ) = 0.03

                    P(Z > ) = 0.03

In the z-table, the critical value of z which represents the area of top 3% is given as 1.88, this means;

                          x = $6312 + 6070.86 = $12382.86

So, the range of spending for 3% of households with the highest daily transportation cost is $12382.86 or more.

  21.3

step-by-step explanation:

multiplying the given equation by c/sin(25°), we get

  c = 9/sin(25°) ≈ 21.2958 ≈ 21.3

we assume "c" is the length of ab, the side opposite angle c in triangle abc.

step-by-step explanation:

hihi so drawing these 2 triangles is fairly simple. all that's left is finding the height of each one. luckily, we have a side length and an angle, so there is a trig function we can use to solve for the height. the easiest one to use would be tangent, since we have 2/3 things needed to find and the third needed is what we are solving for. tan(73°) * 30 ~= 98.13 and tan(73°) * 35 ~= 114.45
