8 0

Answer: 3y - 8x + 2 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is

y - y₁ y₂ - y₁

------- = ---------- where x₁ = -2, x₂ = 1, y₁ = -6, y₂ = 2,

x - x₁ x₂ - x₁

Now we substitute for the values in the above equation and then solve.

y - (-6) 2 - (-6) 2 + 6 8

---------- = ----------- = --------- = ----

x - (-2) 1 - (-2) 1 + 2 3

y + 6 8

-------- = ---- , we now cross multiply to get the required equation.

x + 2 3

3( y + 6 ) = 8( x + 2 )

3y + 18 = 8x + 16

3y - 8x + 18 - 16 = 0

3y - 8x + 2 = 0

Answer:

$P(\bar X$

And using a calculator, excel or the normal standard table we have that:

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".

Solution to the problem

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

$X \sim N(300,50)$
