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.

Nancy found that x=1 is one solution to the quadratic equation (x 2)2=a. what is the value of a? -9 -3 3 9
AlladinOne [14]

The value of the <em>a, </em>in the provided quadratic equation for which Nancy found one solution as x=1 is 9.

<h3>What is the solution of equation?</h3>

The solution of the quadratic equation is the solution of the variable of the equation, for which the equation satisfies.

Nancy found that x=1 is one solution to the quadratic equation. The quadratic equation is,

(x +2)^2=a

For this equation, one solution is <em>x</em>=1. Put this value in the above equation to get the value of <em>a,</em>

(1 +2)^2=a\\(3)^2=a\\9=a\\a=9

Thus, the value of the <em>a, </em>in the provided quadratic equation for which Nancy found one solution as x=1 is 9.

levacccp [35]

Answer:

a) P(R

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel and we got:

P(z

b) P(R>110)=P(\frac{R-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{110-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{110-100}{3.606})=P(Z>2.774)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel and we got:

P(z>2.774)=1-P(Z

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".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the time for the step 1 and Y the time for the step 2, we define the random variable R= X+Y for the total time and the distribution for R assuming independence between X and Y is:

R \sim N(40+60 = 100,\sqrt{2^2 +3^2}= 3.606 s)  

Where \mu=65.5 and \sigma=2.6

We are interested on this probability

P(R

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{R-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(R

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel and we got:

P(z

Part b

P(R>110)=P(\frac{R-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{110-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{110-100}{3.606})=P(Z>2.774)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel and we got:

P(z>2.774)=1-P(Z

Scale factor for a model is 15cm. Actual =55.5m. model. =25.25. What is the meter
Rasek [7]
We calculate for the actual length of the thing in the model that measures 25.25 by multiplying this value by the scale factor. That is,
                             (25.25 cm) x (55.5 m / 15 cm) = 93.425 m
Therefore, the real dimension of the object is approximately 93.43 m.
