Answer:

The z score formula is given by:

z = \frac{620-500}{80}= 1.5

And if we use the normal standard distribution table or excel we got:

P(z

And the percentage would be 93.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the test scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(500,80)  

Where \mu=500 and \sigma=80

We are interested on this probability

P(X

The z score formula is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

The z score formula is given by:

z = \frac{620-500}{80}= 1.5

And if we use the normal standard distribution table or excel we got:

P(z

And the percentage would be 93.3%

Answer:

The percentage of students who scored below 620 is 93.32%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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 question, we have that:

\mu = 500, \sigma = 80

Percentage of students who scored below 620:

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 620. So

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

Z = \frac{620 - 500}{80}

Z = 1.5

Z = 1.5 has a pvalue of 0.9332

The percentage of students who scored below 620 is 93.32%.

Let us model this problem with a polynomial function.

Let x =  day number (1,2,3,4, ...)
Let y = number of creatures colled on day x.

Because we have 5 data points, we shall use a 4th order polynomial of the form
y = a₁x⁴ + a₂x³ + a₃x² + a₄x + a₅

Substitute x=1,2, ..., 5 into y(x) to obtain the matrix equation
|   1     1    1    1    1  |  | a₁ |      | 42 |
| 2⁴  2³  2²  2¹  2⁰  |  | a₂ |      | 26 |
| 3⁴  3³  3²  3¹  3⁰   |  | a₃ |  =  | 61 |
| 4⁴  4³  4²  4¹  4⁰   |  | a₄ |      | 65 |
| 5⁴  5³  5²  5¹  5⁰  |  | a₅ |      | 56 |

When this matrix equation is solved in the calculator, we obtain
a₁ =      4.1667
a₂ =  -55.3333
a₃ =  253.3333
a₄ =  -451.1667
a₅ =   291.0000

Test the solution.
y(1) = 42  
y(2) = 26
y(3) = 61
y(4) = 65
y(5) = 56

The average for 5 days is (42+26+61+65+56)/5 = 50.
If Kathy collected 53 creatures instead of 56 on day 5, the average becomes
(42+26+61+65+53)/5 = 49.4.

Now predict values for days 5,7,8.
y(6) = 152
y(7) = 571
y(8) = 1631

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that M is directly proportional to r³ then the equation relating them is

M = kr³  ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition when r = 4, M = 160, thus

160 = k × 4³ = 64k ( divide both sides by 64 )

2.5 = k

M = 2.5r³ ← equation of variation

(a)

When r = 2, then

M = 2.5 × 2³ = 2.5 × 8 = 20

(b)

When M = 540, then

540 = 2.5r³ ( divide both sides by 2.5 )_

216 = r³ ( take the cube root of both sides )

r = \sqrt[3]{216} = 6
