Answer:

X ~ Norm ( 2.29167 , 1.09045^2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- The (GPA) for 12 randomly selected college students are given as follows:

            2.3 , 3.1 , 2.8 , 1.7 , 0.9 , 4.0 , 2.1 , 1.2 , 3.6 , 0.2 , 2.4 , 3.2

- We are to assume the ( GPA ) for the college students are normally distributed.

- Denote a random variable X: The GPA secured by the college student.

- The normal distribution is categorized by two parameters:

- The mean ( u ) - the average GPA of the sample of n = 12. Also called the central tendency:

                        Mean ( u ) = \frac{\sum _{i=1}^{\ 12 }\: Xi }{n}

Where,

           Xi : The GPA of the ith student from the sample

           n: The sample size = 12

          Mean ( u ) = \frac{2.3 + 3.1 + 2.8 + 1.7 + 0.9 + 4.0 + 2.1 + 1.2 + 3.6 + 0.2 + 2.4 + 3.2}{12} \\\\Mean ( u ) = \frac{27.5}{12} \\\\Mean ( u ) = 2.29167

- The other parameter denotes the variability of GPA secured by the students about the mean value ( u ) - called standard deviation ( s ):

          s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum _{i=1}^{\ 12 }\: [ Xi - u]^2}{n} } \\\\\\\sum _{i=1}^{\ 12 }\: [ Xi - u]^2 = ( 2.3 - 2.29167)^2 + ( 3.1 - 2.29167)^2 + ( 2.8 - 2.29167)^2 + ( 1.7\\\\ - 2.29167)^2+ ( 0.9 - 2.29167)^2 + ( 4 - 2.29167)^2 + ( 2.1 - 2.29167)^2 + ( 1.2 - 2.29167)^2 +\\\\ ( 3.6 - 2.29167)^2 + ( 0.2 - 2.29167)^2 + ( 2.4 - 2.29167)^2 + ( 3.2 - 2.29167)^2 \\\\\\\sum _{i=1}^{\ 12 }\: [ Xi - u]^2 = 14.26916 \\\\\\s = \sqrt{\frac{ 14.26916 }{12} } \\\\s = \sqrt{1.18909 } \\\\s = 1.09045

- The normal distribution for random variable X can be written as:

                 X ~ Norm ( 2.29167 , 1.09045^2 )

Answer:

\bar X =\frac{2.3+3.1+2.8+1.7+0.9+4+2.1+1.2+3.6+0.2+2.4+3.2}{12}=2.29

s=1.09

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data given:

2.3 3.1 2.8

1.7 0.9 4.0

2.1 1.2 3.6

0.2 2.4 3.2

Since the data are assumedn normally distributed we can find the standard deviation with the following formula:

\sigma =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n}}

And we need to find the mean first with the following formula:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

And replacing we got:

\bar X =\frac{2.3+3.1+2.8+1.7+0.9+4+2.1+1.2+3.6+0.2+2.4+3.2}{12}=2.29

And then we can calculate the deviation and we got:

s=1.09

Select Equal or Not Equal to correctly classify each statement.

The first problem is true because with multiplication it doesn't matter which order it is in.

The second problem is false because you will get a different quotient depending on which numbers are on which side of the equation.

What is the 10th term in the pattern with the formula 5n + 100?
yanalaym [24]
Easy
first term is n=1
so 10th term is n=10

5(10)+100=50+100=150

150 is 10th term

An iceberg weights 450,000 pounds. If it loses 0.2% of its weight in a day, what is its new weight at the end of the day?
Papessa [141]

Answer:

449,100 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

.2% as a decimal is 0.002. To find .2% of 450,000, you multiply it. The answer is 900 pounds. Because it is losing that amount, you subtract it. 450,000-900= 449,100 pounds

Determine whether the sets have a subset relationship. R = {right triangles} O = {obtuse triangles} a) R and O are disjoint. b)
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

f

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angled triangle has one angle equal to 90°

an obtuse angle triangle has one angle greater tan 90°

a) An o and right-angled triangle btuse angled triangle can have one angle equal.

b) R and O are not equivalent by definition

c)  subset of R and Oare not all triangles as R and O are categories of all triangles. R and O are subset of all triangles

d) Acute triangles have all acute angles. So subset of R and O can't be all acute traingles

e) All triangles with two acute angles are may or may not have third angle as obtuse angle or 90° angle

f) none of the above

Find the area of the rectangle. Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
Fed [463]

Answer:

The area of the given rectangle is 51

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the coordinates of the vertices of the rectangle.

Then the length and breadth of it using distance formula.

The distance d between points (x₁ , y₁) and (x₂ , y₂) is given by

d= \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}

Finally calculate the area of rectangle using the formula,

Area of rectangle = Length * Breadth

From the given graph, we get the coordinates of the rectangle as

A(2,4) , B(-2,3) , C(1,-9) , D(5,-8)

Breadth, AB = \sqrt{(-2-2)^{2}+(3-4)^{2}} = \sqrt{16+1} = sqrt{17}

Length, BC = \sqrt{(1+2)^{2}+(-9-3)^{2}} = \sqrt{9+144} = 3 sqrt{17}

Now, Area of rectangle = Length * Breadth = AB * BC = √17 * 3√17 = 3 *17 = 51

∴ The area of the given rectangle is 51
