A teacher wants to know whether their course helps students on the SAT. The hypothesized population mean for SAT scores is 500.

The standard deviation of the population is 77. The sample size is 100. The sample mean for students who took the course is 533. What is the z-score

The z-score is -0.428

<h3>What is a z-score?</h3>

A z-score, also known as a standard score, provides information on how far a data point is from the mean. Technically speaking, however, it's a measurement of how many standard deviations a raw score is from or above the population mean.

You can plot a z-score on a normal distribution curve.

You must be aware of the mean and population standard deviation to use a z-score.

Z-scores allow results to be compared to a "normal" population.

According to the question,

x=500

μ=533

σ=77

z-score=(x-μ)/σ

On substituting the values,

z-score=(500-533)/77

           = -0.428

iris [78.8K]

Answer: The range is 13.  The mean is 10. The standard deviation is 4.62 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data : 3, 6, 9, 11, 15, 16

Total number of data values : n = 6

The mean of data is given by :-

\overline{x}=\dfrac{\sum^6_{i=1}x_i}{n}\\\\\Rightarrow\overline{x}=\dfrac{60}{6}=10

The standard deviation is given by :-

\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{n}(\sum^6_{i=1}(x_i-\overline{x})^2)}\\\\=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{6}(\sum^6_{i=1}(x_i-10)^2)}\\\\=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{6}\times(49+16+1+1+25+36)}=4.61880215352\approx4.62

The range of the data : Maximum value -Minimum value

A metalworker has a metal alloy that is 15​% copper and another alloy that is 60​% copper. How many kilograms of each alloy shou
coldgirl [10]

18 kg of 15% copper and 72 kg of 60% copper should be combined by the metalworker to create 90 kg of 51% copper alloy.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x = kg of 15% copper alloy

Let y = kg of 60% copper alloy

Since we need to create 90 kg of alloy we know:

x + y = 90

51% of 90 kg = 45.9 kg of copper

So we're interested in creating 45.9 kg of copper

We need some amount of 15% copper and some amount of 60% copper to create 45.9 kg of copper:

0.15x + 0.60y = 45.9

but

x + y = 90

x= 90 - y

substituting that value in for x

0.15(90 - y) + 0.60y = 45.9

13.5 - 0.15y + 0.60y = 45.9

0.45y = 32.4

y = 72

Substituting this y value to solve for x gives:

x + y = 90

x= 90-72

x=18

Therefore, in order to create 90kg of 51% alloy, we'd need 18 kg of 15% copper and 72 kg of 60% copper.

If -1 &lt; x &lt; 0 which of the following has the smallest value?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: (B) x^3

Explanation:

If you compare the graphs of

  • y = x^2
  • y = x^3
  • y = x^4

all on the interval -1 < x < 0, you'll find that y = x^3 is the smallest when x = -1

Squaring a negative number leads to a positive result, and similarly that happens with x^4 as well. This is because x^4 = (x^2)^2.

Plugging x = -1 into x^3 leads to y = -1 as a result.
