Answer:

43 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's let the two unknown numbers be a and b.

Their sum is 48, therefore:

a+b=48

And their difference is 38. In other words:

a-b=38

We now have a system of equations. To solve, we can use substitution. First, add b to both sides in the second equation:

a=38+b

Substitute this into the first equation:

(38+b)+b=48

Combine like terms:

2b+38=48

Subtract 38 from both sides:

2b=10

Divide both sides by 2:

b=5

So, one of the numbers is 5.

The sum of them is 48. Therefore, the other number is 48-5 or 43.

So, our two numbers are 43 and 5.

And we're done!

Select True or False from each pull-down menu, depending on whether the corresponding statement is true or false.
Schach [20]

Answer:

1) FALSE

2) FALSE

3) TRUE

4) TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part 1

The mean and standard deviation of a normally distributed random variable which has been standardized are one and zero, respectively.

The mean and the deviation for  the normal standard distribution are:

\mu=0, \sigma =1

So then that's FALSE.

Part 2

Using the standard normal curve, the z−score representing the 10th percentile is 1.28.

We are looking for a value a, that satisfy this:

P(X>a)=0.90   (a)

P(X   (b)  

We can find a z value that satisfy the condition with 0.10 of the area on the left and 0.90 of the area on the right it's z=-1.28. On this case P(Z<-1.28)=0.10 and P(Z>-1.28)=0.90

So that's FALSE.

Part 3

Let z1 be a z−score that is unknown but identifiable by position and area. If the symmetrical area between −z1 and +z1 is 0.9544, the value of z1 is 2.0

If we find this probability:

P(-2.0< Z

So on this case we can approximate to 0.9544. And that's TRUE.

Part 4

Using the standard normal curve, the z−score representing the 75th percentile is 0.67.

We are looking for a value a, that satisfy this:

P(X>a)=0.25   (a)

P(X   (b)  

We can find a z value that satisfy the condition with 0.75 of the area on the left and 0.25 of the area on the right it's z=0.67. On this case P(Z<0.67)=0.75 and P(Z>0.67)=0.25

So that's TRUE.
