A. X^2-10x. =-8
To complete the square you get half of -10 and then square that number half of -10 is -5 and -5 times -5 equals positive 25 that would you add to each side

x^2-10x+25=-8+25
17

Ann's watch runs 2 minutes per hour too slow. Beth's watch runs 1 minute per hour too fast. For example, if both watches were co

Elenna [48]

Answer:

8 am Monday

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the two watches is 2+1= 3 minutes.

It would take 60/3 = 20 hours to have a difference of 60 minutes.

From noon Sunday it would be more 20 hours the earliest time there would be a difference of one hour between the two watches' time.

12 noon + 20 hours= 8 am Monday

2. MNM Corporation gives each of its employees an aptitude test. The scores on the test are normally distributed with a mean of

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

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

$X \sim N(75,15)$

Where $\mu=75$ and $\sigma=25$

The distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

b) $\mu$ represent the true average for the scores of the aptitude test

c) We can calculate the z scores and we got:

$z = \frac{70.14-75}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{25}}}= -1.62$

$z = \frac{82.14-75}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{25}}}= 2.38$

And we can calculate the probability with this difference:

$P(-1.62$

d) We can calculate the z scores and we got:

$z = \frac{82.68-75}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{25}}}= 2.56$

And we can calculate the probability with this difference:

$P(Z$

e) We can calculate the z scores and we got:

$z = \frac{78.69-75}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{25}}}= 1.23$

And we can calculate the probability with this difference:

$P(Z$

Step-by-step explanation:

a. What are the expected value, the standard deviation, and the shape of the sampling distribution of $\bar X$ ?

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

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

$X \sim N(75,15)$

Where $\mu=75$ and $\sigma=25$

The distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

b. What is the random variable in this problem? Define it in words.

$\mu$ represent the true average for the scores of the aptitude test

c. What is the probability that the average aptitude test score in the sample will be between 70.14 and 82.14?

We can calculate the z scores and we got:

$z = \frac{70.14-75}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{25}}}= -1.62$

$z = \frac{82.14-75}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{25}}}= 2.38$

And we can calculate the probability with this difference:

$P(-1.62$

d. What is the probability that the average aptitude test score in the sample will be greater than 82.68?

We can calculate the z scores and we got:

$z = \frac{82.68-75}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{25}}}= 2.56$

And we can calculate the probability with this difference:

$P(Z$

e. What is the probability that the average aptitude test score in the sample will be less than 78.69?

We can calculate the z scores and we got:

$z = \frac{78.69-75}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{25}}}= 1.23$

And we can calculate the probability with this difference:

$P(Z$
