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

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

zhenek [66]

Answer:She used 3.72 pints of blue paints for the wall

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Quantity of Blue and white paint =6.2 pints

Quantity  of White paint =2/ 5 x 6.2 pints = 2.48 pints

Quantity of blue paint =Total Quantity -Quantity  of White paint

=6.2 pints-2.48 pints

=3.72 pints

To make his famous chocolate cake, a baker uses chocolate that is 75% cocoa.
Masja [62]

The baker needs to use 100/3 pounds of 90% chocolate to make the cake.

<h3>Equation </h3>

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the amount of 90% chocolate. Using equation:

100 * 70% + x * 90% = (x + 100) * 75%

100 * 0.7 + 0.9 * x = (x + 100) * 0.75

70 + 0.9x = 0.75x + 75

x = 100/3

The baker needs to use 100/3 pounds of 90% chocolate to make the cake.
