The population of scores on a nationally standardized test forms a normal distribution with μ = 300 and σ = 50. If you take a ra

Answer:

P(\bar X

And using a calculator, excel or the normal standard table we have that:

P(Z

Step-by-step explanation:

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".  

Solution to the problem

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(300,50)  

Where \mu=300 and \sigma=50

Since the distribution for X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

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

We can find the individual probability like this:

P(\bar X

And using a calculator, excel or the normal standard table we have that:

P(Z

A triangle's height is 10 feet more than its base. If the area of the triangle is 100 square feet, use factoring to find its dim
stiks02 [169]

The base length of the triangle is 10 ft. and the height of the triangle is 20ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height = base + 10

Area = 100 square ft

Area of a triangle= (1/2) (b) (h)

100 = (1/2) (b) (b + 10)

200 = b(b) + 10b

b(b) + 10b - 200 = 0

b(b) + 20b - 10b - 200 = 0

b ( b + 20) -10(b + 20) = 0

(b-10) (b+20) =0

b = 10 (or) b = -20

Here b is the length and cannot be negative.

So, b = 10ft

h = b + 10

h = 10 + 10

h = 20 ft.

The base length of the triangle is 10 ft. and the height of the triangle is 20ft.
