For the most recent year available, the mean annual cost to attend a private university in the United States was $20,307. Assume the distribution of annual costs follows the normal probability distribution and the standard deviation is $4,275.

Ninety-five percent of all students at private universities pay less than what amount? (Round z value to 2 decimal places and your final answer to the nearest whole number. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

27,361.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

Ninety-five percent of all students at private universities pay less than what amount?

This is the 95th percentile, that is, X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So X when Z = 1.65.

So the answer is 27,361.

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
