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

zaharov [31]

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.

$P(-1.25$

Which is the equation of an ellipse with directrices at x = ±4 and foci at (2, 0) and (−2, 0)?

NemiM [27]

Answer:

x squared over 4 plus y squared over 8 equals 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of ellipse is given as;

(x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1

The coordinates of a foci are: (±c, 0) where;

c² = b² - a²

However, we know that equation of directrix is; x = ±a/e

Now, Directrix is given ±4

Thus, a/e = 4

a = 4e

We also know that c = ae from ellipse foci coordinates.

Thus, ae = 2

since ae = 2, then (4e)e = 2

4e² = 2

e² = 2/4

e = 1/2

Thus;

a = 4 × 1/2

a = 2

Since c² = b² - a²;

2² = b² - 2²

4 = b² - 4

b² = 8

From (x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1, we can put our values to get;

x²/4 + y²/8 = 1
