WHEN GIVEN A RAW SCORE, EXPLAIN HOW TO USE THE NORMAL CURVE TO COMPARE THAT SCORE TO THE POPULATION. WHAT IS A Z-SCORE?

1 answer:

5 0

1. When given a raw score, it must be converted into a z-score (standard score). Raw scores cannot be placed on a normal distribution curve because they do not have the same means and standard deviations, but when it is converted into a z-score, the number of standard deviations above or below the population mean can be measured. The z-scores on the center are average, the scores on the left are lower than average and the scores on the right are higher than average.

2. A z-score is a standard score which can be placed on a normal distribution curve. A z-score indicates the distance of the standard deviations from the mean (center of the curve).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So remember that a quarter of a circle is 90 degrees, a half of a circle is 180 degrees, and a whole circle is 360 degrees.

Looking at the image shown, it must be half a circle, whihc is 180 degrees. The image tells us that the 1st angle is 7 degrees. Now, we must find the 2nd angle.

Heres what we know however:

angle 1 + angle 2 = 180 degrees.

How do we know this?

Well, there are only 2 angles in this 180 degrees. We know that the first one is 7 degrees.

Lets input that into our nice lil equation to get an answer:

7 degrees+angle 2 = 180 degrees

Now lets solve.

Subtract 7 on both sides, and your left with:

angle 2 = 173 degrees.

So the answer must be:

173 degrees

Hope this helps! ;)

A linear equation exists for the following sets of ordered pairs: {(-1, 1), (0, 3), (-1/3, 7/3)}. The rule for the linear equati

olya-2409 [2.1K]

The rule of the linear equation which is 'y is three more than twice x' can be translated into y = 2x + 3. Thus, we simply use the points and subtitute it to the y and x variables.

1st point: (-1, 1)
1 = 2(-1) + 3
1 = -2 + 3
1=1

2nd point: (0, 3)
3 = 2(0) + 3
3 =3

3rd point: (-1/3, 7/3)
7/3 = 2(-1/3) + 3
7/3 = -2/3 + 3
7/3 = 7/3

All points prove the equation satifsfies the set of coordinates.

A bag contains red marbles, white marbles, and blue marbles. Randomly choose two marbles, one at a time, and without replacement

Answer:

$P(First\ White\ and\ Second\ Blue) = \frac{3}{28}$

$P(Same) = \frac{67}{210}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given (Omitted from the question)

$Red = 7$

$White = 9$

$Blue = 5$

Solving (a): $P(First\ White\ and\ Second\ Blue)$

This is calculated using:

$P(First\ White\ and\ Second\ Blue) = P(White) * P(Blue)$

$P(First\ White\ and\ Second\ Blue) = \frac{n(White)}{Total} * \frac{n(Blue)}{Total - 1}$

We used Total - 1 because it is a probability without replacement

So, we have:

$P(First\ White\ and\ Second\ Blue) = \frac{9}{21} * \frac{5}{21 - 1}$

$P(First\ White\ and\ Second\ Blue) = \frac{9}{21} * \frac{5}{20}$

$P(First\ White\ and\ Second\ Blue) = \frac{9*5}{21*20}$

$P(First\ White\ and\ Second\ Blue) = \frac{45}{420}$

$P(First\ White\ and\ Second\ Blue) = \frac{3}{28}$

Solving (b) $P(Same)$

This is calculated as:

$P(Same) = P(First\ Blue\ and Second\ Blue)\$ $or\ P(First\ Red\ and Second\ Red)\ or\ P(First\ White\ and Second\ White)$

$P(Same) = (\frac{n(Blue)}{Total} * \frac{n(Blue)-1}{Total-1})+(\frac{n(Red)}{Total} * \frac{n(Red)-1}{Total-1})+(\frac{n(White)}{Total} * \frac{n(White)-1}{Total-1})$
