A statistics instructor designed an exam so that the grades would be roughly normally distributed with a mean of and a standard

deviation of 1015. In the space provided, draw a sketch of this distribution and label the mean and, using the standard deviation, two additional points on the horizontal axis. (2 pts)

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) P(X\geq 90)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\geq \frac{90-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z \geq\frac{90-75}{10})=P(z>1.5)

And we can find this probability with the normal standard table and with the complement rule:

P(z\geq 1.5)=1-P(z

Step-by-step explanation:

A statistics instructor designed an exam so that the grades would be roughly normally distributed with a mean of μ=75 and a standard deviation of σ= 10.

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

Figure attached.

Part b

What proportion of students are expected to earn grades of ≥90?

We are interested on this probability

P(X\ geq 90)

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

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

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

P(X\geq 90)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\geq \frac{90-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z \geq\frac{90-75}{10})=P(z>1.5)

And we can find this probability with the normal standard table and with the complement rule:

P(z\geq 1.5)=1-P(z

Hey !! Can someone please help me with this??
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

8^2 and 4 x 4 x 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4 to the third power, is the same as 4 x 4 x 4.

This is then equal to 64.

8 squared is also equal to 64, making it also an answer.

None of the other ones work.

<em>Hope this helps and have a nice day!! :) :] :D</em>

Use the factor theorem to determine whether the first polynomial is a factor of the second polynomial
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

not a factor

Step-by-step explanation:

If (x - 3) is a factor then f(3) = 0

f(x) = 2x² - 4x + 30

f(3) = 2(3)² - 4(3) + 30 = 18 - 12 + 30 = 36 ≠ 0

Since f(3) ≠ 0 then (x - 3) is not a factor of f(x)
