Answer:

A score of 2.6 on a test with \bar X = 5.0 and s = 1.6 and A score of 48 on a test with \bar X = 57 and s = 6 indicate the highest relative position.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following:

I. A score of 2.6 on a test with \bar X = 5.0 and s = 1.6

II. A score of 650 on a test with \bar X = 800 and s = 200

III. A score of 48 on a test with \bar X = 57 and s = 6

And we have to find that which score indicates the highest relative position.

For finding in which score indicates the highest relative position, we will find the z score for each of the score on a test because the higher the z score, it indicates the highest relative position.

<u>The z-score probability distribution is given by;</u>

              Z = \frac{X-\bar X}{s} ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = mean score

            s = standard deviation

            X = each score on a test

  • <u>The z-score of First condition is calculated as;</u>

Since we are given that a score of 2.6 on a test with \bar X = 5.0 and s = 1.6,

So,  z-score = \frac{2.6-5}{1.6} = -1.5  {where \bar X = 5.0 and s = 1.6 }

  • <u>The z-score of Second condition is calculated as;</u>

Since we are given that a score of 650 on a test with \bar X = 800 and s = 200,

So,  z-score = \frac{650-800}{200} = -0.75  {where \bar X = 800 and s = 200 }

  • <u>The z-score of Third condition is calculated as;</u>

Since we are given that a score of 48 on a test with \bar X = 57 and s = 6,

So,  z-score = \frac{48-57}{6} = -1.5  {where \bar X = 57 and s = 6 }

AS we can clearly see that the z score of First and third condition are equally likely higher as compared to Second condition so it can be stated that <u>A score of 2.6 on a test with </u>\bar X<u> = 5.0 and s = 1.6</u> and <u>A score of 48 on a test with </u>\bar X<u> = 57 and s = 6 </u> indicate the highest relative position.

1) 5x + 3 = 23<br> Is the value of x 4
Nataly [62]

Answer:

X = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3 = 23

Subtract 3 from both sides: 5x = 20

Divide both sides by 5: x = 4

While researching the cost of school lunches per week across the state, you use a sample size of 45 weekly lunch prices. The sta
Drupady [299]

We assume the lunch prices we observe are drawn from a normal distribution with true mean \mu and standard deviation 0.68 in dollars.


We average n=45 samples to get \bar{x}.


The standard deviation of the average (an experiment where we collect 45 samples and average them) is the square root of n times smaller than than the standard deviation of the individual samples. We'll write


\sigma = 0.68 / \sqrt{45} = 0.101


Our goal is to come up with a confidence interval (a,b) that we can be 90% sure contains \mu.


Our interval takes the form of ( \bar{x} - z \sigma, \bar{x} + z \sigma ) as \bar{x} is our best guess at the middle of the interval. We have to find the z that gives us 90% of the area of the bell in the "middle".


Since we're given the standard deviation of the true distribution we don't need a t distribution or anything like that. n=45 is big enough (more than 30 or so) that we can substitute the normal distribution for the t distribution anyway.


Usually the questioner is nice enough to ask for a 95% confidence interval, which by the 68-95-99.7 rule is plus or minus two sigma. Here it's a bit less; we have to look it up.


With the right table or computer we find z that corresponds to a probability p=.90 the integral of the unit normal from -z to z. Unfortunately these tables come in various flavors and we have to convert the probability to suit. Sometimes that's a one sided probability from zero to z. That would be an area aka probability of 0.45 from 0 to z (the "body") or a probability of 0.05 from z to infinity (the "tail"). Often the table is the integral of the bell from -infinity to positive z, so we'd have to find p=0.95 in that table. We know that the answer would be z=2 if our original p had been 95% so we expect a number a bit less than 2, a smaller number of standard deviations to include a bit less of the probability.


We find z=1.65 in the typical table has p=.95 from -infinity to z. So our 90% confidence interval is


( \bar{x} - 1.65 (.101),  \bar{x} + 1.65 (.101) )


in other words a margin of error of


\pm 1.65(.101) = \pm 0.167 dollars


That's around plus or minus 17 cents.

Solving Exponential Equations (lacking a common base)<br><br>(0.52)^q=4
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

q = log4 / log0.53

q = -2.189

Step-by-step explanation:

(0.53)^q = 4

Taking log of both sides!

q log 0.53 = log 4

q = log 4 / log 0.53

q = 0.602 / -0.275

q = - 2.189

This can be checked to confirm correctness.

Substituting q = -2.189

(0.53)^ -2.189 = 1/ 0.249

= 4.01 Proved!

(Note that the "1" is because of the negative sign)
