The Law Of Syllogism, which is also called Reasoning by Transitivity, is basically if a = b and b = c, then a = c, which is also the transitive property. Hence the alternate name. It can be used for mathematical deductions and is mainly used in the unit of logic statements, such as conditional and inverse statements. Here is an example:
If it is raining today, then I will wear my raincoat.
If I wear my raincoat today, then I will wear my boots.
When we use the Law of Syllogism, we get:
If it is raining today, then I will wear my boots.

Hope this helps and have a nice day!

Answer: The law of syllogism, also called reasoning by transitivity, is a valid argument form of deductive reasoning that follows a set pattern. It is similar to the transitive property of equality, which reads: if a = b and b = c then, a = c. ... If they are true, then statement 3 must be the valid conclusion.

The combined SAT scores for the students at a local high school are normally distributed with a mean of 1504 and a standard devi

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

6.68% of students from this school earn scores that satisfy the admission requirement

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 1504, \sigma = 300$

The local college includes a minimum score of 1954 in its admission requirements. What percentage of students from this school earn scores that satisfy the admission requirement

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1954. So

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

$Z = \frac{1954 - 1504}{300}$
