Using the normal distribution, it is found that there are 68 students with scores between 72 and 82.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
  • Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem, the mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:

\mu = 72, \sigma = 10

The proportion of students with scores between 72 and 82 is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 82 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 72</u>.

X = 82:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{82 - 72}{10}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a p-value of 0.84.

X = 72:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{72 - 72}{10}

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a p-value of 0.5.

0.84 - 0.5 = 0.34.

Out of 200 students, the number is given by:

0.34 x 200 = 68 students with scores between 72 and 82.

Choose the correct slope of the line that passes through the points (1, −3) and (3, −5).
Flura [38]
Slope of a line passing though point (x1,y1) nd (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

we have
(1,-3) and (3,-5)
x1=1
y1=-3
x2=3
y2=-5

slope=(-5-(-3))/(3-1)=(-5+3)/(2)=-2/2=-1

slope=-1
