A consensus forecast is the average of a large number of individual analysts' forecasts. Suppose the individual forecasts for a

particular interest rate are normally distributed with a mean of 5.0 percent and a standard deviation of 1.2 percent. A single analyst is randomly selected. Find the probability that his/her forecast is(a) At least 3.5 percent. (Round the z value to 2 decimal places. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)(b) At most 6 percent. (Round the z value to 2 decimal places. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)(c) Between 3.5 percent and 6 percent. (Round the z value to 2 decimal places. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

Answer:

a) P(X>3.5)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{3.5-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{3.5-5}{1.2})=P(z>-1.25)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule:

P(z>-1.25)=1-P(z

b) P(X

And we can find this probability uing the normal standard table:

P(z

c) P(3.5

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-1.25

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-1.25

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".  

Part a

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

X \sim N(5,1.2)  

Where \mu=5 and \sigma=1.2

We are interested on this probability

P(X>3.5)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>3.5)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{3.5-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{3.5-5}{1.2})=P(z>-1.25)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule:

P(z>-1.25)=1-P(z

Part b

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability uing the normal standard table:

P(z

Part c

P(3.5

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-1.25

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-1.25

HELP me with this question PLEASE

Answer:

YES

Step-by-step explanation:

Why is the classmate correct?

The reason why the classmate is correct is that everything can turn 360 degrees. This means that a square, has to turn 360 degrees, and it does that by doing 90x4. This means that it has 90-degree angles, which turn 4 times. And that makes 360. That's how this is also correct. Because this classmate turned a figure 270 degrees clockwise, and also, 360-270=90, which means that turning that figure 90 degrees counter-clockwise will make it in that same position.

To check whether this is right or not, take an object, probably like a book. Then turn it 90 degrees to counter-clockwise, and note down the position, that the front of the book is now facing left, and the back of the book is now facing right. Then, turn it back to normal position, (back of the book facing you), then, turn it 3 times 90 degrees towards Clockwise, in that way, you can see, that the book turns in the same way it did when you did 90 degrees counter-clockwise!

<h2>I checked this, it's 176 words long.</h2>

Thanks!

What is the equation of this graphed line?
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

  • y = -9/8x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Slope-intercept form is:</u>

  • y = mx + b

<u>Points given:</u>

  • (0, 7) and (8, -2)

<u>y-intercept is </u>

  • b = 7 as per the first point

<u>And the slope is:</u>

  • m = (-2 - 7)/(8 - 0) = -9/8

<u>So the line is:</u>

  • y = -9/8x + 7

Una funzione inversamente proporzionale è rappresentata da?
puteri [66]
Supponiamo che due variabili x e y siano inversamente proporzionali; allora possiamo rappresentarli come x ∝ 1 / y. Ciò significa che se il valore di x aumenta, il valore di y diminuisce e viceversa.


Suppose two variables x and y are inversely proportional; then we can represent them as x ∝ 1/y. That means, if the value of x increases, then the value of y decreases and vice versa.
