Suppose that grade point averages of undergraduate students at one university have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 2.5

42.54 and a standard deviation of 0.450.45. Using the empirical rule, what percentage of the students have grade point averages that are greater than 3.443.44

Answer:

z= \frac{3.44-2.54}{0.45}=2

P(X>3.44) = P(Z>2) = 0.025

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 problem

Let X the random variable that represent the grade points avergae of a population, and for this case we know the following properties

Where \mu=2.54 and \sigma=0.45

The empirical rule, also referred to as the three-sigma rule or 68-95-99.7 rule, is a statistical rule which states that for a normal distribution, almost all data falls within three standard deviations (denoted by σ) of the mean (denoted by µ). Broken down, the empirical rule shows that 68% falls within the first standard deviation (µ ± σ), 95% within the first two standard deviations (µ ± 2σ), and 99.7% within the first three standard deviations (µ ± 3σ).

So we can find the z score for the value of X=3.44 in order to see how many deviations above or belowe we are from the mean like this:

z= \frac{3.44-2.54}{0.45}=2

So the value of 3.44 is 2 deviations above from the mean, so then we know that the percentage between two deviations from the mean is 95% and on each tail we need to have (100-95)/2 = 2.5% , because the distribution is symmetrical, so based on this we can conclude that:

P(X>3.44) = P(Z>2) = 0.025

Both cylinder are similar
Volume of a cylinder is πr^2h
if we consider both has same radius as they are similar
Lets say V1 is volume of small cylinder and V2 is volume of big cylinder.
V1/V2=πr^2x5/πr^2xh
125/343=5/h
0.36=5/h
h=5/0.36
h=13.72 ft

Y= 13 over 10x + 2 is the answer. The most important thing to remember when finding the slope of the line is RISE over RUN. When you rise, you go up or down. When you run, you go right or left. Think of RISE over RUN as a fraction.

You find two points on the line and you count up/down a certain amount of spaces, and right/left a certain amount of spaces to go from one point to the other point.

In this equation, we could use the point on the y-axis and the last point we see on the graph located at (10,15). You count up/down vertically first until you reach the horizontal line that the point is on. Then, you count the amount of spaces horizontally it takes you to reach the point. In this problem, you move up 13 spaces, and move to the right 10 spaces. This as a fraction will be 13 over 10, because we rose 13 spaces and we ran 10 spaces to get to our second point. The y-intercept will be the only number that is on the y-axis, which is 2.
