The distribution of the number of occurrences of the letter t on the pages of a book is found to be a normal distribution with a mean of 44 and a standard deviation of 18. If there are 500 pages in the book, which sentence most closely summarizes the data?

A. The letter t occurs less than 26 times on approximately 170 of these pages. 

B. The letter t occurs less than 26 times on approximately 15 of these pages. 

C. The letter t occurs more than 26 times on approximately 420 of these pages. 

D. The letter t occurs more than 26 times on approximately 80 of these pages.

.Answer: 
<span>mean = 44 </span>
<span>sd = 18 </span>
<span>that means that "26" is 1 s.d. down, or at the 16th %ile </span>


<span>so, there is a .16 chance that "t" will occur less than 26 times on any single page. </span>
<span>consequently, there is a .84 chance that it will occur more than 26 times on any single page. </span>

<span>Using that information, and knowing that 16% of 500 is 80, and 84% of 500 is 420, can you see where "C" is correct? </span>

Find BC if AC = 13 and AB = 10
maxonik [38]

Answer:

BC=3

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>We </em><em>can </em><em>solve </em><em>this </em><em>by </em><em>eliminating</em><em> </em><em>given </em><em>detail </em><em>of </em><em>A.</em>

AC=13 , AB=10

<u>To </u><u>find </u><u>BC,</u><u> </u><u>We </u><u>minus </u><u>A</u><u>C</u><u> </u><u>With </u><u>AB</u>

BC= AC-AB

<u>BC=3</u>

3 Is the final answer

I hope this helps, dont hesitate to ask for any question.

The time needed to complete a final examination in a particular college course is normally distributed with a mean of 77 minutes
Komok [63]

Answer:

a. The probability of completing the exam in one hour or less is 0.0783

b. The probability that student will complete the exam in more than 60 minutes but less than 75 minutes is 0.3555

c. The number of students will be unable to complete the exam in the allotted time is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

a. According to the given we have the following:

The time for completing the final exam in a particular college is distributed normally with mean (μ) is 77 minutes and standard deviation (σ) is 12 minutes

Hence, For X = 60, the Z- scores is obtained as follows:

Z=  X−μ /σ

Z=60−77 /12

Z=−1.4167

Using the standard normal table, the probability P(Z≤−1.4167) is approximately 0.0783.

P(Z≤−1.4167)=0.0783

Therefore, The probability of completing the exam in one hour or less is 0.0783.

b. In this case For X = 75, the Z- scores is obtained as follows:

Z=  X−μ /σ

Z=75−77 /12

Z=−0.1667

Using the standard normal table, the probability P(Z≤−0.1667) is approximately 0.4338.

Therefore, The probability that student will complete the exam in more than 60 minutes but less than 75 minutes is obtained as follows:

P(60<X<75)=P(Z≤−0.1667)−P(Z≤−1.4167)

=0.4338−0.0783

=0.3555

​

Therefore, The probability that student will complete the exam in more than 60 minutes but less than 75 minutes is 0.3555

c. In order to compute  how many students you expect will be unable to complete the exam in the allotted time we have to first compute the Z−score of the critical value (X=90) as follows:

Z=  X−μ /σ

Z=90−77 /12

Z​=1.0833

UsING the standard normal table, the probability P(Z≤1.0833) is approximately 0.8599.

Therefore P(Z>1.0833)=1−P(Z≤1.0833)

=1−0.8599

=0.1401

​

Therefore, The number of students will be unable to complete the exam in the allotted time is= 60×0.1401=8.406

The number of students will be unable to complete the exam in the allotted time is 8

An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll conducted in 2010 predicted that 61% of Americans did not support the Tea Party movement. I
fomenos

Answer:

The right answer is:

The poll provides strong evidence that more than 61% of Americans oppose the Tea Party movement this year. Why? The P-value (0.026) is less than the significance level of 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

At a level of significance of 5%, a P-value of 0.026 (2.6%) means that the difference is significant and the null hypothesis is rejected.

The difference between the proportions is significant, what means that more than 61% of Americans oppose the Tea Party movement this year.

Note: The difference in the sample proportions (3%) is not enough to claim that the difference is significant.

The right answer is:

The poll provides strong evidence that more than 61% of Americans oppose the Tea Party movement this year. Why? The P-value (0.026) is less than the significance level of 5%.
