Answer:

z=\frac{13-20}{4}=-1.75

Assuming:

H0: \mu \geq 20

H1: \mu

p_v = P(Z

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest (number of correct answers in the test), on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=100, p=0.2)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

We need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation.

np=100*0.2=20 \geq 10

n(1-p)=20*(1-0.2)=16 \geq 10

So we see that we satisfy the conditions and then we can apply the approximation.

If we appply the approximation the new mean and standard deviation are:

E(X)=np=100*0.2=20

\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{100*0.2(1-0.2)}=4

So we can approximate the random variable X like this:

X\sim N(\mu =20, \sigma=4)

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".  The letter \phi(b) is used to denote the cumulative area for a b quantile on the normal standard distribution, or in other words: \phi(b)=P(z

The z score is given by this formula:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we replace we got:

z=\frac{13-20}{4}=-1.75

Let's assume that we conduct the following test:

H0: \mu \geq 20

H1: \mu

We want to check is the score for the student is significantly less than the expected value using random guessing.

So on this case since we have the statistic we can calculate the p value on this way:

p_v = P(Z

Solve the linear equation. 8x+32=2(25x−15)−11x8x+32=2(25x−15)−11x
Bogdan [553]
It seems like you put the same equation up there twice, but no worries! :)

8x + 32 = 2(25x - 15) - 11x

Simplify.

8x + 32 = 50x - 30 - 11x

Add like terms.

8x + 32 = (50x - 11x) - 30

Simplify.

8x + 32 = 39x - 30

Now we must subtract 32 from both sides.

8x = 39x - 30 - 32

Then, subtract 39x from both sides.

8x - 39x = -30 - 32

Simplify.

-31x = -62

Finally, divide both sides by -31.

-31x ÷ -31 = -62 ÷ -31

Simplify.

x = 2

The graph of which function has an axis of symmetry at x = 3?
babunello [35]

Answer:

The function in the fourth option will have an axis of symmetry at x = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to choose the function from options, the graph of which has an axis of symmetry at x = 3.

The function in the fourth option will have an axis of symmetry at x = 3.

It is f(x) = x2 – 6x – 1 On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (0, negative 1), has a vertex at (3, negative 10), and goes through (6, 0). (Answer)

What happens to the value of the expression 80-2r80−2r80, minus, 2, r as rrr decreases? Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choic
Pie

Answer:

(Choice B) B It decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the situation, the solution of the value of the expression is as follows

Let us assume

r         80 -2r

5        80 - 10 = 70

4        80 - 8 = 72

3        80 - 6 = 74

2        80 - 4 = 76

1         80 - 2 = 78

As we can from the above calculation that expression value risen if r value decreased

Therefore the correct option is B.
