Why might a scientist studying water pollution work with percents less than one?

Because, often times, water pollutants occur in small amounts. Therefore, it is likely to use small percentages (less than 1%) in comparison to the water and various other pollutants in the same sample.

the marks in an examination for a Physics paper have normal distribution with mean μ and variance σ2 . 10% of the students obtai
Blababa [14]

Let X be the random variable for the number of marks a given student receives on the exam.

10% of students obtain more than 75 marks, so

P(X>75)=P\left(\dfrac{X-\mu}\sigma>\dfrac{75-\mu}\sigma\right)=P(Z>z_1)=0.10

where Z follows a standard normal distribution. The critical value for an upper-tail probability of 10% is

P(Z>z_1)=1-F_Z(z_1)=0.10\implies z_1=F_Z^{-1}(0.90)

where F_Z(z)=P(Z\le z) denotes the CDF of Z, and F_Z^{-1} denotes the inverse CDF. We have

z_1=F_Z^{-1}(0.90)\approx1.2816

Similarly, because 20% of students obtain less than 40 marks, we have

P(X

so that

P(Z

Then \mu,\sigma are such that

\dfrac{75-\mu}\sigma\approx1.2816\implies75\approx\mu+1.2816\sigma

\dfrac{40-\mu}\sigma\approx-0.8416\implies40\approx\mu-0.8416\sigma

and we find

\mu\approx53.8739,\sigma\approx16.4848

The average cost of tuition and room and board at a small private liberal arts college is reported to be $8,500 per term, but a
Tom [10]

Answer:

H₀: µ ≤ $8,500; H₁: µ > $8,500

z= +1.645

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given problem  As average cost of tuition and room and board at a small private liberal is less than the financial administrator As hypothesis is true.

As standard deviation is $ 1,200

α = 0.05

H₀: µ ≤ $8,500

if the null hypothesis is true then value for critical z is +1.645.
