Answer:

84 students

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the ratio of boys to girls is 4 : 3, and we know that the actual number of boys is 48, so let's set up a proportion:

\frac{4boys}{3girls} =\frac{48boys}{x girls}, where x is the number of girls in the club

Cross-multiply:

4x = 48 * 3 = 144

x = 144/4 = 36

Thus, there are 36 girls in the club.

Don't forget to check back with the question! It's asking for the total number of students, so we need to add 36 to 48:

36 + 48 = 84

Therefore, our answer is 84 students.

Examination of court records in a particular state shows that the mean sentence length for first-offense drug dealers is 26 mont
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer and explanation:

Given : Examination of court records in a particular state shows that the mean sentence length for first-offense drug dealers is 26 months with a standard deviation of 2 months. The records show that the sentence lengths are normally distributed.

i.e. Mean \mu=26, Standard deviation \sigma=2

Using Z-score formula,

Z=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\sigma}

1) What is the Z score for a 23 month sentence length? What is the probability of getting a sentence below that?

The Z score value for a \bar{x}=23 is given by,

Z=\frac{23-26}{2}

Z=\frac{-3}{2}

Z=-1.5

The probability of getting a sentence below that is P(X

i.e. P(X

P(X

2) A defense attorney is concerned that his client's sentence was unusually harsh at 30 months. What percent of sentences are 30 months or longer? Calculate the Z score and report the area.

The Z score value for a \bar{x}=30 is given by,

Z=\frac{30-26}{2}

Z=\frac{4}{2}

Z=2  

The probability of getting a sentence below that is P(X\geq 30)

i.e. P(X\geq 30)=1-P(Z\leq 2)

P(X\geq 30)=1-0.977

P(X\geq 30)=0.023

Into percentage, P(X\geq 30)=2.3\%

3) Would you consider a 30 month sentence harsh? Explain

Since the percentage for 30 months or greater is harsh because the smaller value of percentage of P(X\geq 30)=2.3\%
