[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
- a is a leg
- b is another leg
- c is the hypotenuse<u>
</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify variables</em>
Leg <em>a</em> = <em>a</em>
Leg <em>b</em> = 12
Hypotenuse <em>c</em> = 20
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>a</u></em>
- Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]: a² + 12² = 20²
- Evaluate exponents: a² + 144 = 400
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Isolate <em>a</em> term: a² = 256
- [Equality Property] Square root both sides: a = 16
Answer:
And for this case we know this condition:
By the complement rule we know that:
But since the distribution is symmetrical we know that:
So then the statement for this case is FALSE.
b. False
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
For this case if we define the random variable of interest X and we know that this random variable follows a normal distribution:
And for this case we know this condition:
By the complement rule we know that:
But since the distribution is symmetrical we know that:
So then the statement for this case is FALSE.
b. False
Answer:
Due to the higher Z-score, Kamala had the best GPA when compared to other students at her school.
Step-by-step explanation:
Z-score:
In a set with mean and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question:
Whichever student's GPA had the higher z-score had the best GPA compared to other students.
Thuy 2.5 3.2 0.8
This means that
The z-score is:
Vichet 88 75 20
This means that
The z-score is:
Kamala 8.9 8 0.4
This means that
The z-score is:
Due to the higher Z-score, Kamala had the best GPA when compared to other students at her school.
