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

What is the value of x?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

X = 98°

Step-by-step explanation:

53° + 45° + FGH = 180° ( Interior angle property)

FGH = 180° - 98 °

FGH = 82°

Now,

By x would be solved through linear pair.

x° + 82° = 180° ( linear pair)

x° = 180° - 82°

x = 98°

hope it helps!

a plane rises from take-off and flies at an angle of 6 with the horizontal runway. When it has gained 900 feet, find the distanc
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

d=8610.1ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Angle \theta =6\textdegree

Height of plane h=900ft

Generally the trigonometric equation for distance flown d is mathematically given by

  sin \theta=\frac{h}{d}

Therefore

 d=\frac{h}{sin\theta}

 d=\frac{900}{sin6}

 d=8610.1ft
