Suppose​ that, when taking a random sample of three​ students' GPAs, you get a sample mean of 3.90. This sample mean is far high

er than the​ college-wide (population) mean. Does this provide that your sample is​ biased? Explain. What else could have caused this high​ mean?

Answer:

Your sample most likely is biased, but simply getting a high number does not 100 percent mean your answer was biased. It could be a pure coincidence that you picked students with high GPAs. However, it is likely that your answer is biased. You may have sampled kids that are in advanced classes. You may have sampled students that were in some sort of honors club. You may have sampled students that were all hanging out in the library, a place that most people come to study and prepare for classes. So again, while your higher than normal answer could have been a coincidence, you most likely had a biased sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

ACT scores have a mean of 20.8 and 9 percent of the scores are above 28. The scores have a distribution that is approximately no
dimaraw [331]

Answer: 5.37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x =  ACT scores.

Given: ACT scores have a mean of 20.8 and 9 percent of the scores are above 28. The scores have a distribution that is approximately normal.

i.e. P(X>28)=0.09   (i)

Now,

P(X>28)=P(\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\dfrac{28-20.8}{\sigma})\\\\= P(z>\dfrac{7.2}{\sigma})\ \ \ \ [z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}]    (ii)

One -tailed z value for p-value of 0.09 =1.3408 [By z-table]

From (i) and (ii)

\dfrac{7.2}{\sigma}=1.3408\\\\\Rightarrow\ \sigma=\dfrac{7.2}{1.3408}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \sigma=5.37

Hence, the standard deviation = 5.37

If y= -3x7+2x3+ x, the derivative of y with respect to x is
larisa [96]

Answer:

\frac{dy}{dx} = - 21x^{6} + 6x² + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Differentiate each term using the power rule

\frac{d}{dx} (ax^{n} ) = nax^{n-1}

Given

y = - 3x^{7} + 2x³ + x , then

\frac{dy}{dx} = (7 × - 3 )x^{6} + (3 × 2)x² + (1 × 1 )x^{0}

    = - 21x^{6} + 6x² + 1

A rectangle has length X +5 and width X +4 if the perimeter of the rectangle is 42 m what are the length and width of the rectan
Maru [420]
The perimeter is 2(length) + 2(width), so 2(x+5) + 2(x+4) = 42 m. In solving for x, you find 6. Plug 6 back into your length and width where x originally was, and you find your length to be 11m, and your width to be 10m. Hope this helps!
