Amusic school has budgeted to purchase 3 musical instruments. they plan to purchase a piano costing $4,000, a guitar costing $600, and a drum set costing $750. the mean cost for a piano is $5,000 with a standard deviation of $2,000. the mean cost for a guitar is $550 with a standard deviation of $250. the mean cost for drums is $950 with a standard deviation of $100. (enter your answers to two decimal places.) how many standard deviations above or below the average piano cost is the piano

To solve this, we can use the z statistic. The formula for z score is given as:

z = (x – u) / s

where x is the actual cost = 4000, u is the mean cost = 5000, and s is the standard deviation = 2000

Solving for z:

z = (4000 – 5000) / 2000

z = - 0.5

Therefore the piano cost is only 0.5 standard deviations below the average cost.

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.

a) 0,0; 1,1; and 2,2

step-by-step explanation:

these have the exact same coordinates, thus they are the correct function.
