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

If Dante spins the spinner below 75 times, how many times should he expect it to land on "U"?​
Fed [463]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete; So, I will solve making assumptions

Spinner = 10\ segments

U = 1

n=75

Required

Number of times to land on U

First, calculate the theoretical probability of U

Pr(U) = \frac{U}{Spinner}

Pr(U) = \frac{1}{10}

The expected number (E) of time to land on U is then calculated as:

E = Pr(U) * n

E = \frac{1}{10} * 75

E = 0.10 * 75

E = 7.5

Approximate

E = 8

<em>8 times</em>

<em></em>

<em>Follow the above steps, and you will arrive at your answer</em>

Rearrange the quadratic equation so that it is equal to 0. Then factor the equation
goldenfox [79]
We need an equation for this, theres no 'formula' for doing this (ignoring the quadratic formula, as that is a long-winded way of factorising a quadratic equation)
