Answer:

(a) Approximately 205 students scored between 540 and 660.

(b) Approximately 287 students scored between 480 and 720.

Step-by-step explanation:

A mound-shaped distribution is a normal distribution since the shape of a normal curve is mound-shaped.

Let <em>X</em> = test score of a student.

It is provided that X\sim N(\mu = 600, \sigma^{2} = 3600).

(a)

The probability of scores between 540 and 660 as follows:

P(540\leq X\leq 660)=P(\frac{540-600}{\sqrt{3600} }\leq \frac{X-600}{\sqrt{3600} }\leq \frac{660-600}{\sqrt{3600} })\\=P(-1 \leq Z\leq 1)\\= P(Z\leq 1)-P(Z\leq -1)\\=0.8413-0.1587\\=0.6826

Use the standard normal table for the probabilities.

The number of students who scored between 540 and 660 is:

300 × 0.6826 = 204.78 ≈ 205

Thus, approximately 205 students scored between 540 and 660.

(b)

The probability of scores between 480 and 720 as follows:

P(480\leq X\leq 720)=P(\frac{480-600}{\sqrt{3600} }\leq \frac{X-600}{\sqrt{3600} }\leq \frac{720-600}{\sqrt{3600} })\\=P(-2 \leq Z\leq 2)\\= P(Z\leq 2)-P(Z\leq -2)\\=0.9772-0.0228\\=0.9544

Use the standard normal table for the probabilities.

The number of students who scored between 480 and 720 is:

300 × 0.9544 = 286.32 ≈ 287

Thus, approximately 287 students scored between 480 and 720.

PLease help me ,really need help with explanation​
mylen [45]

a)

Check the picture below.

b)

volume wise, we know the smaller pyramid is 1/8 th of the whole pyramid, so the volume of the whole pyramid must be 8/8 th.

Now, if we take off 1/8 th of the volume of whole pyramid, what the whole pyramid is left with is 7/8 th of its total volume, and that 7/8 th is the truncated part, because the 1/8 we chopped off from it, is the volume of the tiny pyramid atop.

Now, what's the ratio of the tiny pyramid to the truncated bottom?

\stackrel{\textit{\Large Volumes}}{\cfrac{\textit{small pyramid}}{\textit{frustum}}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{1}{8}whole ~~}{\frac{7}{8}whole}}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{1}{8} ~~}{\frac{7}{8}}\implies \cfrac{1}{8}\cdot \cfrac{8}{7}\implies \cfrac{1}{7}

How to find domain and range on a graph
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Please Find the answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain : It these to values of x , for which we have some value of y on the graph. Hence in order to determine the Domain from the graph, we have to determine , if there is any value / values for which we do not have any y coordinate. If there are some, then we delete them from the set of Real numbers and that would be our Domain.

Range :  It these to values of y , which are as mapped to some value of x in the graph. Hence in order to determine the Range  from the graph, we have to determine , if there is any value / values on y axis for which we do not have any x coordinate mapped to it. If there are some, then we delete them from the set of Real numbers and that would be our Range .

What is the rate of change in y with respect to x in the function x + 5y = 10?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

-1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

let's put the function in slope intercept form (y = mx + b).

x + 5y = 10

y = - (1/5)x + 2

when the function is in slope intercept form, (m) is the rate of change or the slope.

therefore, the rate of change -1/5
