Answer:

14.63% probability that a student scores between 82 and 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 72.3, \sigma = 8.9

What is the probability that a student scores between 82 and 90?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 90 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 82. So

X = 90

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{90 - 73.9}{8.9}

Z = 1.81

Z = 1.81 has a pvalue of 0.9649

X = 82

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{82 - 73.9}{8.9}

Z = 0.91

Z = 0.91 has a pvalue of 0.8186

0.9649 - 0.8186 = 0.1463

14.63% probability that a student scores between 82 and 90

Answer:

c =\frac{8}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

c = \sqrt{\frac{4 + \sqrt 7}{4 - \sqrt 7}} +  \sqrt{\frac{4 - \sqrt 7}{4 + \sqrt 7}}

Required

Shorten

We have:

c = \sqrt{\frac{4 + \sqrt 7}{4 - \sqrt 7}} +  \sqrt{\frac{4 - \sqrt 7}{4 + \sqrt 7}}

Rationalize

c = \sqrt{\frac{4 + \sqrt 7}{4 - \sqrt 7} * \frac{4 + \sqrt 7}{4 + \sqrt 7}} +  \sqrt{\frac{4 - \sqrt 7}{4 + \sqrt 7}*\frac{4 - \sqrt 7}{4 - \sqrt 7}}

Expand

c = \sqrt{\frac{(4 + \sqrt 7)^2}{4^2 - (\sqrt 7)^2}} +  \sqrt{\frac{(4 - \sqrt 7)^2}{4^2 - (\sqrt 7)^2}

c = \sqrt{\frac{(4 + \sqrt 7)^2}{16 - 7}} +  \sqrt{\frac{(4 - \sqrt 7)^2}{16 - 7}

c = \sqrt{\frac{(4 + \sqrt 7)^2}{9}} +  \sqrt{\frac{(4 - \sqrt 7)^2}{9}

Take positive square roots

c =\frac{4 + \sqrt 7}{3} +  \frac{4 - \sqrt 7}{3}

Take LCM

c =\frac{4 + \sqrt 7 + 4 - \sqrt 7}{3}

Collect like terms

c =\frac{4  + 4+ \sqrt 7 - \sqrt 7}{3}

c =\frac{8}{3}
