Answer: 0.8238

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Scores on a certain intelligence test for children between ages 13 and 15 years are approximately normally distributed with \mu=106 and \sigma=15.

Let x denotes the scores on a certain intelligence test for children between ages 13 and 15 years.

Then, the proportion of children aged 13 to 15 years old have scores on this test above 92 will be :-

P(x>92)=1-P(x\leq92)\\\\=1-P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\leq\dfrac{92-106}{15})\\\\=1-P(z\leq })\\\\=1-P(z\leq-0.93)=1-(1-P(z\leq0.93))\ \ [\because\ P(Z\leq -z)=1-P(Z\leq z)]\\\\=P(z\leq0.93)=0.8238\ \ [\text{By using z-value table.}]

Hence, the proportion of children aged 13 to 15 years old have scores on this test above 92 = 0.8238

Help! I have looked at so many lessons on writing exponential functions from a graph and nothing has helped.
Over [174]

Answer:

y = 8(-\frac{1}{2})^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the exponential function is,

y = a(b)ˣ

Since the graph of this function passes through two points (4, \frac{1}{2}) and (3, -1)

For the point (4, \frac{1}{2}),

\frac{1}{2}=a(b)^4 ---------(1)

For second point (3, -1),

-1 = a(b)³ ---------(2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1),

\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{-1} = \frac{a(b)^4}{a(b)^3}

-\frac{1}{2}=b^{(4-3)}

-\frac{1}{2}=b

From equation (2)

-1 = a(-\frac{1}{2})^3

-1 = -\frac{1}{8}a

a = 8

Therefore, equation of the exponential function will be,

y = 8(-\frac{1}{2})^x
