Answer:

P(12

And we can find this probability on this way:

P(-1

We expect around 68.27% between the two scores provided.

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

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(16,4)  

Where \mu=16 and \sigma=4

We are interested on this probability

P(12

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(12

And we can find this probability on this way:

P(-1

We expect around 68.27% between the two scores provided.

If the numbers below were ordered from least to greatest, which number could you use to replace the blank? 0.20,2/5 □ , 3/4,8/10
faust18 [17]
1/2 would work for the blank space

because as shown in the image you could relate it to a whole for each one and put it to 100 to figure out what the blank could be

the 0.20 can be converted to 1/5 so that way you can put everything into the 100 group

22/20 in simplest form
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: 22/20 in simplest form would be 11/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find simplest form, you need to reduce the fraction down by a common factor, for instance 2. 22/2 is 11 (which is your numerator) and 20/2 is 10 (which is your denominator).
