Correct answer is C. 
m + 3s = 50 
the total number of questions is 20. since the paper is made of only multiple choice and short answer questions, the sum of the multiple choice and short answer questions should be 20.
since multiple choice is 'm' and short answer is 's'
then m + s = 20
but theres no option for that 
if we take the number of points 
points for 1 multiple choice question - 1
then points for m number of multiple choice questions = 1 * m = m
points for 1 short answer - 3
then points for s number of short answer question = 3 * s = 3s
then total number of points = m + 3s
and the total number of points = 50
therefore 
m + 3s = 50
this is the correct answer C.

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Points for 1 multiple choice question = 1

Then, points for m number of multiple choice questions = 1 × m = m

Points for 1 short answer = 3

Then points for s number of short answer question = 3 ×s = 3s

Total number of points = m + 3s

and the total number of points = 50  

i.e. m + 3s = 50

Hence, correct option is:

C. m+3s=50

Let X denote the number of flaws along a 100-m reel of magnetic tape (an integer-valued variable). Suppose Zdenote the number of
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

a) P(20 \leq X \leq 30) = P(20-0.5 \leq X \leq 30+0.5)

P(19.5 \leq X \leq 30.5) = P(\frac{19.5-25}{5} \leq Z \leq \frac{30.5 -25}{5})=P(-1.1 \leq Z \leq 1.1)

And we can find this probability like this:

P(-1.1 \leq Z \leq 1.1)= P(Z\leq 1.1) -P(Z\leq -1.1) = 0.864-0.136= 0.728

b) P(X \leq 30)= P(X

And using the z score we got:

P(X

c) P(X

And if we use the continuity correction we got:

P(X

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Continuity correction means that we need to add and subtract 0.5 before standardizing the value specified.

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(25,5)  

Where \mu=25 and \sigma=5

Part a

For this case we want to find this probability:

P(20 \leq X \leq 30) = P(20-0.5 \leq X \leq 30+0.5)

And if we use the z score given by:

z =\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We got this:

P(19.5 \leq X \leq 30.5) = P(\frac{19.5-25}{5} \leq Z \leq \frac{30.5 -25}{5})=P(-1.1 \leq Z \leq 1.1)

And we can find this probability like this:

P(-1.1 \leq Z \leq 1.1)= P(Z\leq 1.1) -P(Z\leq -1.1) = 0.864-0.136= 0.728

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

P(X \leq 30)

And if we use the continuity correction we got:

P(X \leq 30)= P(X

And using the z score we got:

P(X

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

P(X

And if we use the continuity correction we got:

P(X
