X = k/y
4 = k/10
k = 4 x 10 = 40
Thus, x = 40 / y

90 = 40 / y
y = 40/90 = 4/9

A recently admitted class of graduate students at a large state university has a mean GRE verbal score of 650 with a standard de

hjlf

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The z score is a score used to determine the number of standard deviations by which the raw score is above or below the mean, it is given by the equation:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\\mu=mean, \sigma=standard\ deviation,x=raw\ score\\\\for\ a\ sample\ n:\\\\z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }$

Given that μ = 650, σ = 50. To find the probability that 5 students who have a mean of 490, we use:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} } =\frac{490-650}{50/\sqrt{5} } =-7.16$

From the normal distribution table, P(x < 490) = P(Z < -7.16) = 0.0001 = 0.01%

Since only a small percentage of people score about 490, hence the local newspaper editor should write a scathing editorial about favoritism

The chairlift at a ski resort has a vertical rise of 3200 feet. if the length of the ride is 1.2 miles, what is the average angl

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

(see attached graphic)
1.2 miles = 6,336 feet

IF the length is measured along the ground then:
tan (angle) = opp / adjacent
tan (angle) = 3,200 / 6,336
<span>tan (angle) = 0.505050505</span>
angle = 26.796 Degrees

IF the length is measured from the ground to the top then:
sin (angle) = opp / hypotenuse
<span>sin (angle) = 0.505050505</span>
angle = 30.335 Degrees
