Some nations require their students to pass an exam before earning their primary school degrees or diplomas. A certain nation gi

ves students an exam whose scores are normally distributed with a mean of 41 points and a standard deviation of 9 points. Suppose we select 2 of these testers at random, and define the random variable D as the difference between their scores. We can assume that their scores are independent. Find the probability that their scores differ by more than 15 points.

Answer:

0.119 is the probability that their scores differ by more than 15 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Mean, μ = 41

Standard Deviation, σ = 9

We are given that the distribution of score is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

D is a random variable and defined as the difference between their scores.

D = X-Y\\\mu_D = E(X)-E(Y) = 41-41 = 0\\ \sigma_D = \sqrt{\sigma_x^2 + \sigma_y^2 } = \sqrt{9^2 + 9^2} = 9\sqrt{2}

D follows a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(scores differ by more than 15 points)

P(d > 15) = P(z > \displaystyle\frac{15-0}{9\sqrt{2}}) = P(z > 1.1785)\\\\P( z > 1.1785) = 1 - P(z \leq 1.1785)

Calculating the value from the standard normal table we have,

1 - 0.881 = 0.119 = 11.9\%\\P( d > 15) = 11.9\%

0.119 is the probability that their scores differ by more than 15 points.

A line has a y-intercept and a slope of 0. What is it’s equation in slope-intercept form ?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b so if m = 0 then x = 0 and if be is also 0 then that entire side of the equation is 0. Meaning that y = 0

How do change 13 1/4 into decimal form
Bess [88]
That would be 13.25, 13+1/4
                                = 13+(1 divided by 4 which is 0.25)
                                = 13+0.25
                                Which is 13.25 so your answer is 13.25, good luck hope that helps :D

Ginny divided the cake into 12 pieces. She gave 4 pieces to Sammy. What fraction of the cake did she have left?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer: 2/3 or 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: If we have a cake that has a total of 12 pieces, and we gave four to someone else we would have 8/12 pieces left. Now if we simplify then we would have 2/3 left.

Alternate explanation: Now if we just want to divide 4/12 then we would have 1/3.

I'm happy to help let me know if I'm wrong!
