Hi
26.414 is 28.1% of what number?
Let x represent that number
28.1% = 28.1/100 = .281
.281*x = 26.414
x = 26.414/.281
x = 94
CHECKING our Answer***
.281*94 = 26.414

Hi
Convert 22/125 to a percent
+22%2F125+=+x%2F100 |cross multiplying to solve for x
125x = 22*100
x = 22*100/125
x = 2200/125
x = 17.6
+22%2F125+=+17.6%2F100 = 17.6%

Hi
The average years of employee experience at a company with 10,000 employees is
normally distributed, with a standard deviation of 12 years.
If a sample of 50 employees indicates a mean age of 38,
calculate 90 percent confidence intervals for the population mean.
ME = 1.645[38/sqrt(50)] = 8.8402
CI: 38-8.8402+%3C+u+%3C+38+%2B+8.8402

99 percent confidence intervals for the population mean.
ME =2.575[38/sqrt(50)] = 13.8381

Hi
If P(A) = 0.20, P(B) = 0.40 and P(A ∩ B) = 0.08:
Note: Two events A and B are independent if and only if Pr(A ∩ B) = Pr(A)Pr(B).
.20%2A.40+=+.08 therefore then A and B are Independent Events

Find P%5B14%5D
*Note: z+=+%28x+-+mu%29%2F%28sigma%29
lower 14% then z = -1.0803 NORMSINV(0.14)
-1.0803 = (x - 105)/20
105 - 20*1.0803 = 83.394
top 86% then z = 1.0803 NORMSINV(0.86)
105 + .20*1.0803 = 126.606
126.6 - 83.4 = 43 IQ points separating the bottom 14% from the top 86%.
