Answer:

a. 72

b. 816

c. 570

d. 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the graph is a bell - shaped curve. So, we understand that this is a normal distribution and that the bell - shaped curve is a symmetric curve.

Please refer the figure for a better understanding.

a. In a normal distribution, Mean = Median = Mode

Therefore, Median = Mean = 72

b. We have to know that 68% of the values are within the first standard deviation of the mean.

i.e., 68% values are between Mean $ \pm $ Standard Deviation (SD).

Scores between 63 and 81 :

Note that 72 - 9 = 63 and

72 + 9 = 81

This implies scores between 63 and 81 constitute 68% of the values, 34% each, since the curve is symmetric.

Now, Scores between 63 and 81 = $ \frac{68}{100} \times 1200 $

= 68 X 12 = 816.

That means 816 students have scored between 63 and 81.

c. We have to know that 95% of the values lie between second Standard Deviation of the mean.

i.e., 95% values are between Mean $ \pm $ 2(SD).

Note that 90 = 72 + 2(9) = 72 + 18

Also, 54 = 63 - 18.

Scores between 54 and 90 totally constitute 95% of the values. So, Scores between 72 and 90 should amount to $ \frac{95}{2} \% $ of the values.

Therefore, Scores between 72 and 90 = $ \frac{95}{2(100)} \times 1200 = \frac{95}{200} \times 1200  $

$ \implies 95 \times 12 $ = 570.

That is a total of 570 students scored between 72 and 90.

d. We have to know that 5 % of the values lie on the thirst standard Deviation of the mean.

In this case, 5 % of the values lie between below 54 and above 90.

Since, we are asked to find scores below 54. It should be 2.5% of the values.

So, Scores below 54 = $ \frac{2.5}{100} \times 1200 $

= 2.5 X 12 = 30.

That is, 30 students have scored below 54.

HELP I NEED HELP FAST. ILL MARK YOU BRAINLIEST.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

She plays soccer and golf for a total of 125 minutes:

s + g = 125

She plays soccer 45 minutes more than she plays golf:

s = g + 45 this is for A

B= 40 minutes of golf everyday

C= Yes, because in fact, she plays 85 minutes of soccer everyday, and 85 is greater than 80, so yes she CAN play 80 minutes of soccer every day. Perhaps they meant possible to spend ONLY 80 minutes, then NO, that wouldn't be possible, because then by playing 45 minutes more soccer than golf, she wouldn't have played enough to have 125 total minutes of total play. Technically the way the question is worded, the answer is yes.

I hope this helps!
