Answer:

See explanation below.

P(M|E) > P(M|O)

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation

First we need to define the following events:

E = The student is in a major of enginnering

O= The student is in a major different from enfinnering

M= The student is in the marching band

Solution for the problem

For this case we can calculate the following probability:

P(M|E) =\frac{P(M and E)}{P(E)}

And that represent the following event: "Given a randomly selected student is an engineering major, what is the probability  the student is in the marching band"

And the probability that need to calculate to compare is this one:

P(M|O) =\frac{P(M and O)}{P(O)}

And that represent the following event: "Given a randomly selected student is NOT an engineering major, what is the probability  the student is in the marching band"

And if the claim is satisfied we need to see this:

P(M|E) > P(M|O)

7. Write the equation of a line which passes through the points (-3,5) and (6,23)
faust18 [17]

Answer:

answer to the equation is

y = 2x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

first find the slope of the line using the two points

slope \: m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}  =  \frac{23 - 5}{6 - ( - 3)}   \\ =  \frac{18}{9}  \\ slope \: m = 2

substitute 2 for m and use one of the points for x and y and solve for b

5 = 2( - 3) + b \\ 5 =  - 6 + b \\ 5 + 6 = b \\ b = 11

Now that you found b, the y-intercept, you can substitute that into the equation for your line

y = 2x + 11

IQ test scores are standardized to produce a normal distribution with a mean of = 100 and a standard deviation of = 15. Find the
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

0.01

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score = 135

μ is the population mean = 100

σ is the population standard deviation = 15

z = 135 - 100/15

z = 2.33333

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x<135) = 0.99018

P(x>135) = 1 - P(x<135)

P(x > 135) = 1 - 0.99018

= 0.0098153

Approximately to 2 decimal places

= 0.01

Therefore, the proportion of the population for the following IQ score of 135 is 0.01
