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.

Answer 5 plz!! Due tomorrow!

Hey!

So, the denominator tells us how many pieces there are in the pizza. (4)

4 × 1 = 4 --- That's not enough for 11 people, if each person is supposed to get 1 slice.

4 × 2 = 8 --- Still Not Enough.

4 × 3 = 12 --- This is more than enough. 11 people can each have 1 slice.


So, your answer is: Cyrus should order 3 pizzas.

How to get the area of the lion?<br>check the enclosed photo please!
Alborosie
The area of the lion is 6m

Because: This shape is difficult to find the area of so lets break it up into a square an 2 triangles. The squares dimensions are 2mx2m, to find the area of this we multiple them together to get, 4m. Next the triangles are the same dimensions so finding one, we find the other. The dimensions of these are 2mx1m. To find the area of a triangle you multiple the 2 sides (not the diagonal side) and divide by 2. 2x1 is 2, divided by 2 is 1. So the area of both of the triangles is 1. Now we just need to add all of these together. 4m+1m+1m= 6m

Eduardo says that an increase from 10 to 40 is 300% therefore a decrease from 40 to 10 must be a 300% decrease do you agree with
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Eduardo's second statement is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eduardo says that an increase from 10 to 40 is 300% which is true. Because there is an increase by (40 - 10) = 30 and the percent of increase is calculated with respect to 10.  

So, % of increase = \frac{30 \times 100}{10} = 300%.

But when we consider a decrease from 40 to 10, then the decrease is by (40 - 10) = 30, but the percent of decrease will be calculated with respect to 40.

Therefore, the % decrease = \frac{30 \times 100}{40} = 75%.

Hence, Eduardo's second statement is wrong. (Answer)
