The College Board reported the following mean scores for the three parts of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) (The World Almana
c, 2009): Critical Reading 502 Mathematics 515 Writing 494 Assume that the population standard deviation on each part of the test is = 100. Use z-table. What is the probability a sample of 90 test takers will provide a sample mean test score within 10 points of the population mean of 502 on the Critical Reading part of the test (to 4 decimals)? Round z value in intermediate calculation to 2 decimals places. What is the probability a sample of 90 test takers will provide a sample mean test score within 10 points of the population mean of 515 on the Mathematics part of the test (to 4 decimals)? Round z value in intermediate calculation to 2 decimals places. What is the probability a sample of 100 test takers will provide a sample mean test score within 10 points of the population mean of 494 on the writing part of the test (to 4 decimals)? Round z value in intermediate calculation to 2 decimals places.
1 answer:
Answer:
a: 0.6578
b: 0.6578
c: 0.6578
Step-by-step explanation:
For a: See attached photo 1 for the calculation of the probability
There is no more work needed to calculate the other probabilities. The mean is the only thing that's different. We still want a range of being within 10 points of the population mean, so the z-scores won't change, even though the mean has. We would still wind up with the same numerator in the test statistic, and since the sample size didn't change, we'd get the same z-value!

K is the slope of the line formed by connecting the points.
Use slope formula:
where the 2 points are the end points of the line (First and last going Left to right)
Substitute into slope formula
You can check if this is correct by going back to graph and going "up 7" and "over 2" to get from one point to the next.

We use algebraic equations in our daily lives without knowing it. For example, when we go shopping, calculate grocery expenses, or even fill our gas tanks, we are using equations. Let's say we needed to fill our gas tank, but we only had $15.00 to do so. If the price of gas is $3.00 per gallon, how many gallons could we buy? We use the simply algebraic equation of 
to calculate the total gallons that can be bought. x = the money we have. y = price per gallon of gas. 
= 5. So with $15.00, we can buy 5 gallons of gas; and that is just one example of using an algebraic equation in everyday life!
