Answer:

A) defined by the two parameters μ = 0, σ =1

(B) symmetric

(D) a density curve.

(E) unimodal

(F) referred to as a bell-curve

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to state the properties of a standard normal distribution.

A) defined by the two parameters μ = 0, σ =1

The standard normal distribution has a mean 0 and standard deviation of 1.

(B) symmetric

The normal distribution is symmetric around the mean that is area under the curve on the left side of mean is same as the area on the right side of mean.

The given statement is false in regard with standard normal distribution.

(D) a density curve.

A density curve is a curve that represents the probability for a distribution and area under the curve is 1. The standard normal distribution is a density curve.

(E) unimodal

The standard normal distribution is unimodal that is it have only one value that occurs most frequently and for standard normal distribution the modal value is 0.

(F) referred to as a bell-curve

The standard normal distribution curve has a shape similar to a bell and referred to as bell-curve.

(G) skewed

The standard normal distribution is not skewed. It is symmetric.

(H) multimodal

The standard normal distribution has a unique mode.

HELP HELP !!!! PLEASE I NEED HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM !!!

Vesnalui [34]

This one is best done by elimination:

We need to start 4 meters away, so B is clearly wrong.

We first move towards Mr. Wilson (i.e. distance is decreasing) so A is wrong.

Our speed is faster on the way back, so the two sloped section must have differing slopes, so D is wrong.
(D also doesn't start at 4, it's wrong for two reasons.)

Only C is left.

We can check each part to make sure. First we start at 4m, then move away, then stay still (zero slope) for three seconds, then move back faster (higher slope). All parts check out ok.

If w = 12 units, x = 7 units, and y = 8 units, what is the surface area of the figure? Figure is composed of a right square pyra

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

720 sq units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length and width of square prism, w = 12 units

Height of square prism, x = 7 units

Height of square pyramid, y = 8 units

Please have a look at the attached image.

Here 2 Surfaces will not be exposed which are base of the square pyramid and the top of the square prism i.e. 2 square surfaces will not be exposed.

Here, surface area of the composite figure will be:

<em>Surface Area of Composite Figure = Lateral surface area of Square Pyramid + Surface Area of 5 surfaces of the square prism</em>

For finding the lateral surface area of pyramid, we need to find the slant height of the pyramid.

Let slant height be $l$ units.

Using pythagoras theorem, we can find out the value of $l$ .

As per theorem:

$Hypotenuse^{2} = Base^{2} + Height^{2}\\$

$\Rightarrow l^{2} = (\dfrac{w}{2})^{2} + y^{2}\\\Rightarrow l^{2} = (\dfrac{12}{2})^{2} + 8^{2}\\\Rightarrow l^{2} = {6}^{2} + 8^{2}\\\Rightarrow l^{2} = 36+64 = 100\\\Rightarrow l = 10\ units$

Lateral surface area of square prism = 4 $\times$ Area of triangular surface

$\Rightarrow 4 \times \dfrac{1}{2}\times Base \times Slant\ Height\\\Rightarrow 4 \times \dfrac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 12\\\Rightarrow 240\ sq\ units$
