At a college the scores on the chemistry final exam are approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 75 and a standard dev

iation of 15. The scores on the calculus final are also approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 83 and a standard deviation of 13. A student scored 82 on the chemistry final and 80 on the calculus final.
Relative to the students in each respective class, in which subject did the student do better?

a) Calculus

b) Chemistry

c) The student did equally well in each course

d) There is no basis for comparison

Answer:

b) Chemistry

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare both scored we need to standardize the scores using the following equation:

\frac{x-m}{s}

Where x is the score, m is the mean and s is the standard deviation. So, 82 on chemistry is equivalent to:

\frac{82-75}{15}=0.4667

Because the mean of the scores on the chemistry final exam is equal to 75 and the standard deviation is 15

At the same way, 80 on Calculus is equivalent to:

\frac{80-83}{13} =-0.2308

Because the mean of the scores on the calculus final exam is equal to 83 and the standard deviation is 13

Now, we can compare the values. So, taking into account that -0.2308 is lower than 0.4667, we can said that the student do better in Chemistry.

If a/b < c/d with b > 0, d > 0, prove that a+c / b+d lies between the two fractions a/b and c/d .​
Tems11 [23]

Divide through everything by <em>b</em> :

\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} = \dfrac{\dfrac ab + \dfrac cb}{1 + \dfrac db}

Since <em>a/b</em> < <em>c/d</em>, it follows that

\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} < \dfrac{\dfrac cd+\dfrac cb}{1 + \dfrac db}

Multiply through everything on the right side by <em>b/d</em> to get

\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} < \dfrac{\dfrac{bc}{d^2}+\dfrac cd}{\dfrac bd+1} = \dfrac{\dfrac cd\left(\dfrac bd+1\right)}{\dfrac bd+1} = \dfrac cd

and so (<em>a</em> + <em>c</em>)/(<em>b</em> + <em>d</em>) < <em>c/d</em>.

For the other side, you can do something similar and divide through everything by <em>d</em> :

\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} = \dfrac{\dfrac ad + \dfrac cd}{\dfrac bd + 1}

and <em>a/b</em> < <em>c/d</em> tells us that

\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} > \dfrac{\dfrac ad + \dfrac ab}{\dfrac bd + 1}

Then

\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} > \dfrac{\dfrac ab + \dfrac{ad}{b^2}}{1 + \dfrac db} = \dfrac{\dfrac ab\left(1+\dfrac db\right)}{1 + \dfrac db} = \dfrac ab

and so (<em>a</em> + <em>c</em>)/(<em>b</em> + <em>d</em>) > <em>a/b</em>.

Then together we get the desired inequality.

Mary stated that 2.01 x 10⁶ is less than 4.8 x 10⁴ because 2.01 is less than 4.8. what was mary's mistake ?
katrin [286]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is always written as a number between 1 and 9.9999999 repeating. There follows a power of 10. I'm not sure which answer would help you see it clearer but

4.8 * 10^4 the decimal is shifted 4 places the right which is 48000 where you have no numbers, you use zeros.

2.01 * 10^6 means that you shift the decimal 6 places to the right.

2010000

So 2 million is larger than 48 thousand.

The other way to do it is just to look at the power. 6 is more than 4. 6 describes the number of places you move. So does 4. 6>4 so that's the larger number.
