Answer:

a) P(47

And then the probability that Fred will not score between 47 and 77 is

1-0.968 = 0.0321

b) P(45

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 scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(62,7)  

Where \mu=62 and \sigma=7

We are interested on this probability  on the probability that Fred will not score between 47 and 77. So we can begin finding this probability

P(47

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(47

And we can find this probability on this way:

P(-2.143

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

P(-2.143

And then the probability that Fred will not score between 47 and 77 is

1-0.968 = 0.0321

Part b

P(45

And we can find this probability on this way:

P(-2.429

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

P(-2.429

At the bank, Derek made 7 withdrawals, each in the same amount. His brother, John, made 5 withdrawls, each in the same amount.

Let x be  the amount of one of Derek's withdrawals

Each of John's withdrawals was $5 more than each withdrawal that Derek made.

x + 5 is t the amount of one of John's withdrawals

Derek made 7 withdrawals

So amount withdraw 7 times = 7x

John made 5 withdrawals

So amount withdraw 5 times = 5(x+5)

Both Derek and John withdrew the same amount of money in the end

(A) 7x = 5(x+5)

(B) Solve for x

7x = 5x + 25

Subtract 5x from both sides

2x = 25

Divide by 2

x = 12.5

(C) check your solution

we plug in 12.5 for x in 7x= 5x + 25

7(12.5) = 5(12.5) + 25

87.5 = 62.5+ 25

87.5 = 87.5

(D) Each brother withdrawal 87.5 dollars

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

1. x (multiplication)

2. / (division)

3. - (subtraction)

4. - (subtraction)

5. / (division)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 24 x 3/4= 18

2. 24/-3/4=-32

3. 12- 15= -3

4. 12- (-15)= 12 + 15 = 27

5. -18 / -3/4= 24
