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.

elena55 [62]
Can you take the quantity [ x + y ] and square it ?

Can you take the quantity  [ x + 2y ] and square it ?

Then you should have no trouble with the square of (.9x + .8y) .

The square of any binomial (expression with 2 terms) is

(square of the first term)
+ (square of the second term)
+ 2 times (product of the terms) .

At a certain charity fundraiser, some guests will be randomly selected to receive a gift. The probability of receiving a gift is
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

a) Your answer for part a (I got 3/28) is wrong.

Odds are always expressed as ratios after calculating. Therefore, the odds in favour of receiving a gift = 3:22

b) Your answer in part b(I got 7/9) is correct.

The probability of the box having a toy is 7/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question above has to do with odds and probability.

It is important to note that odds are expressed in the form of ratios while probabilities are expressed as fractions.

a) At a certain charity fundraiser, some guests will be randomly selected to receive a gift. The probability of receiving a gift is 3/25. Find the odds in favor of receiving a gift.(I got 3/28)

The formula for calculating odds from probability is Odds = Probability / (1 - Probability).

Probability = 3/25

Odds =(3/25)/(1 - 3/25)

= (3/25)/22/25

= 3/25 ÷ 22/25

= 3/25 × 25/22

= 3/22

Note that odds are always expressed as ratios.

Therefore, the odds in favour of receiving a gift = 3:22

Your answer for part a (I got 3/28) is wrong.

The correct answer is 3:22

b) A child has a box of candies which might have a toy inside. The odds against the box having a toy are 7/2. What is the probability of the box having a toy? I got 7/9.

The formula for calculating probability from odds is P = Odds / (Odds + 1).

Odds = 7/2 or 7:2

We convert the odds to fraction when calculating

Probability = Odds / (Odds + 1).

Probability = (7/2)/ (7/2 + 1)

Probability = (7/2)/9/2

Probability = 7/2 ÷ 9/2

= 7/2 × 2/9

= 7/9

Probability is always expressed as a fraction.

Therefore, the probability of the box having a toy is 7/9.

Your answer in part b(I got 7/9) is correct.
