Candice is preparing for her final exam in Statistics. She knows she needs an 65 out of 100 to earn an A overall in the course.

Her instructor provided the following information to the students. On the final, 200 students have taken it with a mean score of 57 and a standard deviation of 6. Assume the distribution of scores is bell-shaped. Calculate to see if a score of 65 is within one standard deviation of the mean.

Answer:

a. 72

b. 816

c. 570

d. 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the graph is a bell - shaped curve. So, we understand that this is a normal distribution and that the bell - shaped curve is a symmetric curve.

Please refer the figure for a better understanding.

a. In a normal distribution, Mean = Median = Mode

Therefore, Median = Mean = 72

b. We have to know that 68% of the values are within the first standard deviation of the mean.

i.e., 68% values are between Mean  Standard Deviation (SD).

Scores between 63 and 81 :

Note that 72 - 9 = 63 and

72 + 9 = 81

This implies scores between 63 and 81 constitute 68% of the values, 34% each, since the curve is symmetric.

Now, Scores between 63 and 81 =  

= 68 X 12 = 816.

That means 816 students have scored between 63 and 81.

c. We have to know that 95% of the values lie between second Standard Deviation of the mean.

i.e., 95% values are between Mean  2(SD).

Note that 90 = 72 + 2(9) = 72 + 18

Also, 54 = 63 - 18.

Scores between 54 and 90 totally constitute 95% of the values. So, Scores between 72 and 90 should amount to  of the values.

Therefore, Scores between 72 and 90 =  

= 570.

That is a total of 570 students scored between 72 and 90.

d. We have to know that 5 % of the values lie on the thirst standard Deviation of the mean.

In this case, 5 % of the values lie between below 54 and above 90.

Since, we are asked to find scores below 54. It should be 2.5% of the values.

So, Scores below 54 =  

= 2.5 X 12 = 30.

That is, 30 students have scored below 54.

The letters r and Θ represent polar coordinates. perform the following.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

\boxed{(x - \frac{1 }{ 2})^{2} + y^{2} = \frac{21 }{ 4}}\\

Step-by-step explanation:

r = \frac{5}{r - cos\theta}\\r^{2} - rcos\theta = 5\\\\

\text{Use the relationships}\\r^{2} = x^{2} + y^{2}; cos\theta = \frac{ x}{r }\\

\begin{array}{ll}x^{2} + y^{2} - r(\frac{x }{r }) = 5 & \text{Made the substitutions } \\x^{2} + y^{2} - x = 5 & \text{Simplified } \\x^{2} -x + y^{2} = 5 & \text{Rearranged } \\x^{2} -x + \frac{1 }{ 4} + y^{2}= 5 + \frac{1 }{ 4} & \text{Completed the square } \\(x - \frac{1 }{ 2})^{2} + y^{2}= \frac{21 }{ 4} & \text{Wrote as sum of squares} \\\end{array}\\\\

\text{This is the equation of a circle with centre at (0.5, 0 ) and radius equal to}\\\frac{\sqrt{21} }{ 2} \approx 2.291\\

\boxed{(x - \frac{1 }{ 2})^{2} + y^{2}= \frac{21 }{ 4}}\\

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

P(she needs to wait for 3 more hours | She has already waited for 7 hours)  = e⁻¹

P(she needs to wait for x more hours | She has already waited for 7 hours)

= e^(-x/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

P(she needs to wait for 3 more hours | She has already waited for 7 hours)

= P(she needs to wait for 3 more hours, She has already waited for 7 hours) / P(She has already waited for 7 hours)

= P(she needs to wait for 10 hours) / P(She has already waited for 7 hours)

= (1/3)exp(-10/3)/ (1/3)exp(-7/3) = exp(-1) = e⁻¹

P(she needs to wait for x more hours | She has already waited for 7 hours)

= P(she needs to wait for x more hours, She has already waited for 7 hours) / P(She has already waited for 7 hours)

= P(she needs to wait for 7+x hours) / P(She has already waited for 7 hours)

= (1/3)exp(-(7+x)/3)/ (1/3)exp(-7/3) = exp(-x/3) = e^(-x/3)
