The insurance period must be chosen so that the probability of a microchip failure within that period is 4%. Reference to a standard normal distribution table shows that the z-score for a cumulative probability of 4% is -1.75.
Let the insurance period be X months:
-1.75 = (X - 93)/3.8
-6.65 = X - 93
X = 83.35 months.
The answer is 83.35 months.
Answers:
The z scores are approximately:
- Care of Magical Creatures: z = 0.333
- Defense Against the Dark Arts: z = 0.583
- Transfiguration: z = -0.263
- Potions: z = -0.533
From those scores, we can say:
- Best grade = Defense Against the Dark Arts
- Worst grade = Potions
=====================================================
Further Explanation:
We'll need to convert each given score to a corresponding standardized z score.
The formula to use is
z = (x - mu)/sigma
where,
- x = given grade for each class
- mu = mean
- sigma = standard deviation
Let's find the z score for the Care of Magical Creatures class
z = (x - mu)/sigma
z = (3.80 - 3.75)/(0.15)
z = 0.333 approximately
Repeat this process for the Defense Against the Dark Arts score.
z = (x - mu)/sigma
z = (3.60 - 3.25)/(0.60)
z = 0.583 approximately
And for the Transfiguration class as well
z = (x - mu)/sigma
z = (3.10 - 3.20)/(0.38)
z = -0.263 approximately
The negative z score means his grade below the average, whereas earlier the other scores were above the average since he got positive z scores.
Now do the final class (Potions) to get this z score
z = (x - mu)/sigma
z = (2.50 - 2.90)/(0.75)
z = -0.533 approximately
This grade is below average as well.
----------------------------
To summarize, we have these z scores
- Care of Magical Creatures: z = 0.333
- Defense Against the Dark Arts: z = 0.583
- Transfiguration: z = -0.263
- Potions: z = -0.533
Harry did his best in Defense Against the Dark Arts because the z score of 0.583 (approximate) is the largest of the four z scores. On the other hand, his worst grade is in Potions because -0.533 is the lowest z score.
Just add up the lengths of the four sides, and you have the perimeter.
The perimeter is:
(4x-7)*2 + (10x^2+4x-2)*2 =
8x-14 + 20x^2+8x-4 =
20x^2 + 16x - 18
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
144/16=9
Each child gets sixteen coins if there are nine children.
9+3=12
There are three more children so there are twelve.
