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

What is 4x-4y/2=x+2 in slope intercept form?
Alla [95]

Answer:

The equation would be y = 3/2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer in slope-intercept form, simply solve for y.

4x-4y/2=x+2 ----> Subtract 4x from both sides

-4y/2=-3x+2 ----> Multiply both sides by 2

-4y = -6x + 4 -----> Divide by -4

y = 3/2x - 1

Plz help with this question ASAP which choice is it and steps to get the answer or explain why
Savatey [412]

Answer:

D 20 *1.10 * 1.05

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 19.8 tons of wheat.  That is close to 20 tons

We increase by  9.8 percent. 9.8% is close to 10%

When we increase, that is 100% of what we had plus the increase, so we multiply by 100 +10% or 110%.  In decimal form that is 1.1

20 *1.10

Then the next year we increase by 5.1%.  That is close to 5%

We have 100% plus the 5% or 105%, which in decimal form is 1.05

We multiply what we had (20 *1.10) by 1.05

20 *1.10 * 1.05

This is the total amount we have

The volume of a cylinder is 980pi in ^3 The height of the cylinder is 20 in. What is the radius of the cylinder?
siniylev [52]

Answer:

The radius of the cylinder is 7 in

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the radius of a cylinder we have to use the following formula:

v = volume  = 980π in³

h = height = 20in

π = pi

r = radius

v = (π * r²) * h

we replace with the known values

980π in³  = (π * (r)²) * 20in

980π in³ / 20in = π * (r)²

49 in² = (r)²

√(49 in²) = r

7 in = r

The radius of the cylinder is 7 in

Osvoldo has a goal of getting at least 30% of his grams of carbohydrates each day from whole grains. Today, he ate 220 grams of
pochemuha

Answer:

Answer: Osvoldo did not meet his goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total carbohydrate ate by Osvoldo = 220 g

carbohydrate from grains = 55 g

Percentage of carbohydrate of grain is

\begin{gathered}=\dfrac{\text { carbohydrate taken from grains}}{\text {Total carbohydrate}} \times 100\\\\= \dfrac{55}{220} \times 100= 25 \%\end{gathered}

=

Total carbohydrate

carbohydrate taken from grains

×100

=

220

55

×100=25%

Goal of getting carbohydrate from grains = at least 30%

but he ate only 25% of carbohydrate

Hence, Osvoldo did not meet his goal as he ate less carbohydrate than his goal.
