Answer:

P(X>69)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{69-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{69-75}{8})=P(Z>-0.75)

And we can find this probability on this way:

P(Z>-0.75)=1-P(Z

Step-by-step explanation:

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".  

Solution to the problm

Let X the random variable that represent the scores on an exam of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(75,8)  

Where \mu=75 and \sigma=8

We are interested on this probability

P(X>69)

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>69)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{69-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{69-75}{8})=P(Z>-0.75)

And we can find this probability on this way:

P(Z>-0.75)=1-P(Z

Use limits to find the area of the region bounded by the graph f(x)=4-2x^3 , the x-axis , and the vertical lines x=0 and x=1
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

\frac{7}{2} square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to use limits to find the area of the region bounded by the graph f(x) = 4 - 2x^{3} , the x-axis, and the vertical lines x=0 and x=1.

So, the area will be

A = \int\limits^1_0 {(4 - 2x^{3})} \, dx

= [4x - \frac{x^{4}}{2} ]^{1} _{0}

= 4 - \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{7}{2} square units. (Answer)
