Define z_alpha to be a z-score with an area of alpha to the right. For Example: z_0.10 means P(Z > z_0.10) = 0.10. We would a

lso have, for example; P(Z < -z_0.10) = 0.10 because of the symmetric property of the normal distribution. Questions: (a)Find P(-z_0.025 < Z < z_0.025) (b)Find P(-z_alpha/2 < Z < 2_alpha/2). (c)Find the value of z_alpha (rounded to 3 decimals) such that P(Z > z_alpha) = 0.05.

Answer:

a) P(-z_0.025 < Z < z_0.025)

For this case we want a quantile that accumulates 0.025 of the area on the tails of the normal standard distribution, and for this case we can calculate the z value with the following excel codes:

"=NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)"

"=NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)"

And for this case the two values are :z_{crit}= \pm 1.96

b) P(-z_{\alpha/2} < Z < z_{\alpha/2})

For this case we want a quantile that accumulates \alpha/2 of the area on the tails of the normal standard distribution, and for this case we can calculate the z value with the following excel codes:

"=NORM.INV(alpha/2,0,1)"

"=NORM.INV(alpha/2,0,1)"

c) For this case we want to find a value of z that satisfy:

P(Z > z_alpha) = 0.05.

And we can use the following excel code:

"=NORM.INV(0.95,0,1)"

And we got z_{\alpha/2}=1.64

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

Part a

P(-z_0.025 < Z < z_0.025)

For this case we want a quantile that accumulates 0.025 of the area on the tails of the normal standard distribution, and for this case we can calculate the z value with the following excel codes:

"=NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)"

"=NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)"

And for this case the two values are :z_{crit}= \pm 1.96

Part b

P(-z_{\alpha/2} < Z < z_{\alpha/2})

For this case we want a quantile that accumulates \alpha/2 of the area on the tails of the normal standard distribution, and for this case we can calculate the z value with the following excel codes:

"=NORM.INV(alpha/2,0,1)"

"=NORM.INV(alpha/2,0,1)"

Part c

For this case we want to find a value of z that satisfy:

P(Z > z_alpha) = 0.05.

And we can use the following excel code:

"=NORM.INV(0.95,0,1)"

And we got z_{\alpha/2}=1.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Before tax proce is $72.29

sales tax is 9.5%= $6.87

$72.29+$6.87=$79.16

Each picture shows a figure and its reflection. Which picture shows the line of reflection?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Bottom left

Step-by-step explanation:

The point of reflection is the bottom left one because when reflecting a figure in a line or in a point, the image is congruent to the preimage. A reflection maps every point of a figure to an image across a fixed line. The fixed line is called the line of reflection.

A car travels at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour. The distance, d, the car travels in miles is a function of time, t, in h
scZoUnD [109]

The equation of distance traveled by the car is d(t) = 60 · t, for t ≥ 0.

<h3>What is the equation of the distance travelled by a car?</h3>

In accordance with the statement, car travels in a <em>straight</em> line at <em>constant</em> speed. The distance traveled (d), in miles, is equal to the product of the speed (v), in miles per hour, and time (t), in hours:

d(t) = v · t     (1)

If we know that v = 60 mi/h, then the equation of distance traveled by the car is d(t) = 60 · t, for t ≥ 0.

<h3>Remark</h3>

The statement is incomplete and complete form cannot be found. Then, we decided to complete the statement by asking for the equation that describes the distance of the car.
