. 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.

3x – 2y = 17 <br> –2x – 5y = 14 <br> Solve using Elimination Please show work
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The solution is x=3 , y=-4 or (3,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations (1 and 2) are:

3x- 2y = 17\\-2x -5y = 14

To solve a system of equation with elimination method, the co-efficients of one of the variables has to be equated and then the equations are added or subtracted to get an equation in one variable.

Multiplying equation 1 by 2:

2(3x-2y) = 2*17\\6x-4y = 34\ \ \ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Multiplying equation 2 by 3

3(-2x-5y) = 3*14\\-6x-15y = 42\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 4

Adding equation 3 and 4

(6x-4y) + (-6x-15y) = 34+42\\6x-4y-6x-15y = 76\\-19y = 76\\\frac{-19y}{-19} = \frac{76}{-19}\\y = -4\\

Putting y = -4 in equation 1

3x-2(-4) = 17\\3x+8 = 17\\3x = 17-8\\3x = 9\\\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{9}{3}\\x = 3

Hence,

The solution is x=3 , y=-4 or (3,-4)

It is A because you subsitute the x in the equation A) (2x-8)(7x+5)=0 x=4 x=5,7 (fraction)
subtitute the x now and you get
(2(4)-8)(7(-5,7)+5) = 0

Which is the largest interval over which the function shown in the table is increasing?
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

x < 0

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to graph the function, you would get a parabola that opens down with the vertex at (0, 0).  So, the graph is increasing from -∞ to 0.
