a) For x = 27:

z = 27-28/2 = -0.5

For x = 31:

z = 31-38/2 = 1.5

From the normal distribution table, P(27 < x < 31) = P(-0.5 < z < 1.5) = P(z < 1.5) - P(z < -0.5) = 0.9332 - 0.3085 = 62.47%

b)  For x > 30.2:

z = 30.2-28/2 = 1.1

From the normal distribution table, P(x > 30.2) = P(z > 1.1) = 1 - P(z > 1.1) = 1 - 0.8643 = 13.57%

In an honors math class of 25 students, 15 are boys and 10 are girls. On the final exam, 6 boys and 3 girls received a grade of
postnew [5]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

b=boy

a= a on the exam

b=15

b∩a=6

b'∩a=3

b'∪a'=?

b'∪a'= b'+a'-b'∩a'

a= b∩a+b'∩a (law of total probability) = 9

a'= 25-9 = 16

b'= 25-15= 10

16+10-7=19

19/25= .76

Which of the following points solves the system shown below?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

(3,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Collect like terms

y -5x = -9

y + 2x = 12

Using elimination method

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1

y - 5x = -9

y + 2x = 12

---------------

0. -7x = -21

Divide both sides by -7

-7x = -21

---- -----

-7 -7

x = 3

Substitute x=3 into equation 1

y = 5(3) - 9

y = 15 - 9

y = 6

Solution is (x,y) = (3,6)
