Each year about 1500 students take the introductory statistics course at a large university. This year scores on the final exam
1 answer:
Answer:
a. Left Skewed
b. More students scored above 70
c. No
d. 0.0008
e. standard deviation increases by 1.4142
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The distribution is Left skewed. The maximum possible score is 100 and the mean is 70, hence, there is a barrier preventing a long right tail.
-The scores to the left is only 20, the left therefore is longer.
-The median, 74, is higher than the mean, 70, thus the mean is more left leaning.
b.More students will score more than 70.
-the median is 74 suggesting that 50% plus have scored 74points +
- Given the mean is 70 points, it's therefore obvious that more than 50% of the students have score more than 70 points.
c. No. This is not a normal distribution therefore we cannot calculate the probability that a randomly chosen student scored above 75 using this distribution.
d. The sample size n is large, n>30, so we can use the central limit theorem to approximate the probability:
e. The standard deviation will increase by the square root of the decreament :
#Standard deviation increases by 1.4142

Question 1) Write an absolute value equation that is reflected, vertically shifted 2/3 units down and 1/2 units to the right.
Answer 1):
We know that absolute function is given by y=|x|
reflection happens when we multiply by negative sign so we get
y=-|x|
To get vertical shift down, we subtract so new equation is
y=-|x|-2/3
To get right shift by h unit, we replace x by (x-h) so the new equation is
y=-|x-1/2|-2/3
Hence final answer is
Question2) Write an absolute value equation with a horizontal shift 4 units to the right.
Answer:
We know that absolute function is given by y=|x|
To get horizontal right shift by h unit, we replace x by (x-h) so the new equation is
Hence final answer is .
