A criminologist developed a test to measure recidivism, where low scores indicated a lower probability of repeating the undesira

ble behavior. The test is normed so that it has a mean of 140 and a standard deviation of 40.
a. What is the percentile rank of a score of 172?

b. What is the Z score for a test score of 200?

c. What percentage of scores falls between 100 and 160?

d. What proportion of respondents should score above 190?

e. Suppose an individual is in the 67th percentile in this test, what is his or her corresponding recidivism score?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when X is normal

X-mu/sigma is std normal

Here the scores X is normal with mean =140 and sd =40

a) X=172

gives Z = 32/40 = 0.80

P(Z<0.8) = 0.5+0.2881

=0.7881

Hence 79th percentile

b) X =200 then x-mu = 60

So z=60/40 = 1.5

c) 100<x<160 means

1.5<z<0.5

d) X>190 means Z>1.25 hence proportion = P(Z>1.25) =0.5-0.3944

=0.1056

e) For 67th percentile z value = 0.0675

Hence x score = 140+0.0675(40) = 142.7

a). The percentile of a score of 172 is \boxed{79{\text{th}}\,{\text{percentile}}}.

b). The Z score for a test of 200 is \boxed{1.5}.

c). The percentage of score between 100 to 160 is \boxed{53.3\% }.

d). The proportion of respondents should score above 190 is \boxed{0.10565}.

e). The corresponding score for 67{\text{th}} percentile is \boxed{142.7}.

Further Explanation:

The Z score of the standard normal distribution can be obtained as,

\boxed{{\text{Z}} = \dfrac{{X - \mu }}{\sigma }}

Given:

The mean of test is \boxed{140}.

The standard deviation of the score is \boxed{40}.

Explanation:

Part (a).

The Z score of 172 can be obtained as,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Z}}&= \frac{{172 - 140}}{{40}} \\ &= \frac{{32}}{{40}} \\ &= 0.8 \\ \end{aligned}

The percentile of a score of 172 can be obtained as,

{\text{Percentile}} = {\text{P}}\left( {{\text{Z}

From Z-table the percentile is 78.81\%.

Approximately \boxed{79{\text{th}}\,{\text{percentile}}}.

Part (b).

The Z score for a test score 200 can be obtained as,

\begin{aligned}  {\text{Z}}&= \frac{{200 - 140}}{{40}} \\ &= \frac{{60}}{{40}} \\ &= 1.5 \\\end{aligned}

The Z-score is \boxed {1.5}.

Part (c).

The percentage of scores fall between 100 and 160 can be obtained as,

\begin{aligned}  {\text{Percentage}} &= {\text{P}}\left( {\frac{{100 - 140}}{{40}} < {\text{Z}} < \frac{{160 - 140}}{{40}}} \right) \\ &= {\text{P}}\left( {\frac{{ - 40}}{{40}} < {\text{Z}} < \frac{{20}}{{40}}} \right) \\ &= {\text{P}}\left( { - 1 < {\text{Z}} < 0.5} \right) \\ &= {\text{P}}\left( {{\text{Z} < 0}}{\text{.5}}} \right) - {\text{P}}\left( {{\text{Z} > }} - {\text{1}}} \right) \\ \end{gathered}

Further solve above equation.

\begin{aligned}{\text{Percentage}} &= {\text{P}}\left( {{\text{Z} < 0.5}}\right) -\left[ 1 - P({Z

Approximately the percentage is \boxed{53.3\% }.

Part (d).

The proportion of respondent score above 190 can be obtained as,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Proportion}} &= {\text{P}}\left( {{\text{Z}} > \frac{{190 - 140}}{{40}}} \right) \\ &= {\text{P}}\left( {{\text{Z}} > \frac{{50}}{{40}}} \right) \\  &= {\text{P}}\left( {{\text{Z}} > 1.25} \right) \\  &= 1 - {\text{P}}\left( {\text{Z}< 1.25} \right) \\  &= 1 - 0.89435 \\ &= 0.10565 \\\end{gathered}

The proportion of respondents should score above 190 is \boxed{0.10565}.

Part (e).

The Z-value of 67{\text{th}} is 0.0675.

The corresponding score for 67{\text{th}} percentile can be obtained as,

\begin{aligned}0.0675 &= \frac{{X - 140}}{{40}} \\ 40\left( {0.0675} \right) &= X - 140 \\ 2.7 + 140 &= X \\ 142.7 &= X \\ \end{aligned}

The corresponding score for 67{\text{th}} percentile is \boxed{142.7}.

How do you solve the system:<br> y+1=2x<br> 5y+5=10x
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

choose "infinitely more solutions"

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this system by substitution method

y+1=2x

- 1 = - 1

y = 2x -1   <-- sbstitute this in the next equation

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    5y+5 = 10x

5(2x -1) + 5 = 10x

10x -5 + 5 = 10x

10x + 0= 10x

- 10x = -10x

0 = 0      <-- infinitely more solutions
