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

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

fourths mean 1/4

We will have to multiply the initial value with the 1/4

30 * 1/4 = 7.5

If arc EF = 151°, find mEDF.
user100 [1]
There is a theorem that says that this angle (formed by thre points on the circumference) is half such arc called EF.

We can deduct it as well.

1) Call O the center of the circle. The central angle (EOF) = arc EF = 151°

2) Draw a chord from F to D and other chord from D to E.

You have constructed two triangles, FOD and DOE.

3) Triangle FOD has two sides equals (because both are the radius of the circcle). Then, this is an isosceles triangle and it has two angles of the same measure. Call this measure a.

4) Triangle DOE is also isosceles, for the same reason explained in the poiint 3. Call the measure of its equal angles b.

5) The sum of the angles of the two triangles is 180° + 180 ° = 360°.

This is a + a + b + b + (360 - central angle) = 360°

=> 2a + 2b = central angle
=> 2(a+b) = cantral angle
=> (a+b) = central angle / 2 = 151° / 2 =71.5°

(a+b) is the angle that you are looking for.

Then the answer is 71.5°
