1 answer:

8 0

Fractions are basically divisions.
Ex. 2/4 = 1/2

And whole numbers like 10, get greater when raised to an exponent.
Ex. 10^2 = 100

Sinα=h/L where h=height, L=string length...

h=Lsinα so

h(25°)=50sin25≈21.1ft

In a population distribution, a score of x=57 corresponds to z=-0.25 and a score of x=87 corresponds to z=1.25. Find the mean an

Serggg [28]

Here is dependence between scores and x-values:

$Z_i=\dfrac{X_i-\mu}{\sigma},$

where $\mu$ is the mean, $\sigma$ is standard deviation and i changes from 1 to 2.

1. When i=1, $Z_1=-0.25,\ X_1=57,$ then

$-0.25=\dfrac{57-\mu}{\sigma}.$

2. When i=2, $Z_2=1.25,\ X_2=87,$ then

$1.25=\dfrac{87-\mu}{\sigma}.$

Now solve the system of equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}-0.25=\dfrac{57-\mu}{\sigma}\\ \\1.25=\dfrac{87-\mu}{\sigma}.\end{array}\right.$

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}-0.25\sigma=57-\mu\\ \\1.25\sigma=87-\mu.\end{array}\right.$

Subtract first equation from the second:

$1.25\sigma-(-0.25\sigma)=87-57,\\ \\1.5\sigma=30,\\ \\\sigma=20.$

Then

$1.25=\dfrac{87-\mu}{20},\\ \\87-\mu=25,\\ \\\mu=87-25=62.$

Answer: the mean is 62, the standard deviation is 20.
