. Exam scores for a large introductory statistics class follow an approximate normal distribution with an average score of 56 an

d a standard deviation of 5. The average exam score in your lab was 59.5. The 20 students in your lab sections will be considered a random sample of all students who take this class. What is the probability that the average score of a random sample of 20 students exceeds 59.5?

Answer:

0.1% probability that the average score of a random sample of 20 students exceeds 59.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 56, \sigma = 5, n = 20, s = \frac{5}{\sqrt{20}} = 1.12

What is the probability that the average score of a random sample of 20 students exceeds 59.5?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 59.5. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{59.5 - 56}{1.12}

Z = 3.1

Z = 3.1 has a pvalue of 0.9990.

So there is a 1-0.9990 = 0.001 = 0.1% probability that the average score of a random sample of 20 students exceeds 59.5.

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.​
Aneli [31]

Answer:

y = -\frac{1}{5}x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached graph

Required

Determine the line equation

First, list out two points from the graph

(x_1,y_1) = (-5,0)

(x_2,y_2) = (0,-1)

Next, calculate the slope (m)

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

m = \frac{-1-0}{0 -(-5)}

m = \frac{-1}{0 +5}

m = -\frac{1}{5}

The equation in slope intercept form is:

y = m(x - x_1) + y_1

This gives:

y = -\frac{1}{5}(x - (-5)) + 0

y = -\frac{1}{5}(x +5)

Open bracket

y = -\frac{1}{5}x -1

Someone help on this one please
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

B. Multiply each x-value in the table by -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

A point reflected across the y-axis has the same y-value, but the x-value is replaced by its opposite. For example, (-2, -31) reflected across the y-axis becomes (2, 31).

The appropriate choice is ...

... B. Multiply each x-value in the table by -1.

_____

<em>Comment on the graph</em>

The purple points are the ones in the given table. The red points are the same with their x-coordinate multiplied by -1. You can see that they are the reflection of the purple points across the y-axis. The lines joining the points are to help you see the points and which data set they are in.
