Which of the following expressions cannot be written as a whole number?

Assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Those test scores are normally distributed with a mean of

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The "probability that a given score is less than negative 0.84" is $\\ P(z$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have:

The random variable is normally distributed according to a standard normal distribution, that is, a normal distribution with $\\ \mu = 0$ and $\\ \sigma = 1$ .
We are provided with a z-score of -0.84 or $\\ z = -0.84$ .

Preliminaries

A z-score is a standardized value, i.e., one that we can obtain using the next formula:

$\\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ [1]

Where

x is the raw value coming from a normal distribution that we want to standardize.
And we already know that $\\ \mu$ and $\\ \sigma$ are the mean and the standard deviation, respectively, of the normal distribution.

A z-score represents the distance from $\\ \mu$ in standard deviations units. When the value for z is negative, it "tells us" that the raw score is below $\\ \mu$ . Conversely, when the z-score is positive, the standardized raw score, x, is above the mean, $\\ \mu$ .

Solving the question

We already know that $\\ z = -0.84$ or that the standardized value for a raw score, x, is below $\\ \mu$ in 0.84 standard deviations.

The values for probabilities of the standard normal distribution are tabulated in the standard normal table, which is available in Statistics books or on the Internet and is generally in cumulative probabilities from negative infinity, - $\\ \infty$ , to the z-score of interest.

Well, to solve the question, we need to consult the standard normal table for $\\ z = -0.84$ . For this:

Find the cumulative standard normal table.
In the first column of the table, use -0.8 as an entry.
Then, using the first row of the table, find -0.04 (which determines the second decimal place for the z-score.)
The intersection of these two numbers "gives us" the cumulative probability for z or $\\ P(z$ .

Therefore, we obtain $\\ P(z$ for this z-score, or a slightly more than 20% (20.045%) for the "probability that a given score is less than negative 0.84".

This represent the area under the standard normal distribution, $\\ N(0,1)$ , at the left of z = -0.84.

To "draw a sketch of the region", we need to draw a normal distribution (symmetrical bell-shaped distribution), with mean that equals 0 at the middle of the distribution, $\\ \mu = 0$ , and a standard deviation that equals 1, $\\ \sigma = 1$ .

Then, divide the abscissas axis (horizontal axis) into equal parts of one standard deviation from the mean to the left (negative z-scores), and from the mean to the right (positive z-scores).

Find the place where z = -0.84 (i.e, below the mean and near to negative one standard deviation, $\\ -\sigma$ , from it). All the area to the left of this value must be shaded because it represents $\\ P(z$ and that is it.

The below graph shows the shaded area (in blue) for $\\ P(z$ for $\\ N(0,1)$ .

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 8 slots on Spinner B.

3 of those slots have squares.

Hence out of all the slots, 3/8 of them have squares.

Hope this helps:) Goodluck!

Find the measure of the arc or central angle indicated. Assume that lines which appear to be diameters are actual diameters.

vfiekz [6]

The measure of the Central Angle indicated is; 45°

<h3>How to find the central angle of a circle?</h3>

The central angle will be the angle subtended at the center by arc FE and arc CB.

Now, we see that angle ∠FOB = 135° and since we know that sum of angles on a straight line is 180°, then we can say that;

Central Angle = 180° - 135° = 45°

Angle subtended by Arc CD at the center is;

θ = 180 - (81 + 45)

θ = 54°

Simplify expression 9-18÷3+7

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: 10

18 divide by 3 is 6 because you always divide first is this case

9-6+7 now solve straight across

9 minus 6 is 3 plus 7 is 10

Step-by-step explanation: Also

You are beautiful. You are amazing. You are wonderful. You are perfect just the way you are. Never worry about the way people think about you. Only worry if you like you. You are the most important person to yourself. Just be yourself. No can tell you who you can be. You are truly perfect just the way you are. Never tell yourself you are not good enough, you are enough. Never tell yourself "I'm ugly" you are beautiful. Never let yourself down.
