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

Please help me this is kinda hard​
yuradex [85]

All sides of a square/cube are the same. Since this is a cube, you'll find the volume by "cubing" (get it?) 4.4m.

4.4³ or 4.4 * 4.4 * 4.4 = 85.184m³ but you can round that to 85m³

I hope that helps!

Translate this sentence into an equation. 59 is the sum of 11 and Mai’s score
trapecia [35]

Answer:

11 + Mai's Score = 59

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to add 11 and Mai's score together to get 59, so with the values given we can make the equation 11 + Mai's Score = 59.

*depending on the question, Mai's score may need to be said as a letter variable, so:

If m = mai's score,

11 + m = 59

I hope this helped! :)

Simplify this expression, you are y years old. Your sister is 3 years older than you. Your uncle is 4 times older than your sist
uysha [10]

Answer:The simplified expression that represents the uncle's age is

4y + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y represent your age.

Your sister is 3 years older than you. This means that your sister's age is y + 3

Your uncle is 4 times older than your sister. It means that the age of your uncle would be

4(y + 3)

The simplified expression that represents your uncle's age would be

4y + 12
