For a normal distribution, is it likely that a data value selected at random is more than 2 standard deviations above the mean?

No. This event happens only 2.5% of the time. No. This event happens only 16% of the time. No. This event happens only .015% of the time. Yes. This event happens quite frequently.

Answer:

P(X>\mu + 2\sigma)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

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

Using the z score formula we want this probability:

P(Z>2)

And using the complement rule we got:

P(Z>2) = 1-P(Z

And that correspond to only 0.023*100= 2.3%, so is not frequently and the most appropiate answer for this case would be:

No. This event happens only 2.5% of the time

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interst of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(\mu,\sigma)  

Where \mu the mean and \sigma  the deviation

We are interested on this probability

P(X>\mu + 2\sigma)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

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

Using the z score formula we want this probability:

P(Z>2)

And using the complement rule we got:

P(Z>2) = 1-P(Z

And that correspond to only 0.023*100= 2.3%, so is not frequently and the most appropiate answer for this case would be:

No. This event happens only 2.5% of the time

the form ula for the area of a circle can be found by using a parallelogram. explain the way to derive the formula​
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Explanation: As you make the segments smaller and smaller, the parallelogram becomes more of a rectangle with shorter side equal to the radius of the circle r and longer side πr - half of the circumference of the circle. Hence we get the formula πr2 for the area of a circle of radius r .

The perimeter of this figure is 42.5 cm. Find the area of this figure.
11111nata11111 [884]
The picture in the attached figure

let
AB=x

we know that
perimeter of the figure=10*x
perimeter=42.5 cm
so
42.5=10*x
x=42.5/10
x=4.25 cm

area of the figure=area of rectangle +area of square
area of rectangle=4.25*(4.25*3)----> 54.1875 cm²
area of square=4.25²----> 18.0625 cm²

area of the figure=54.1875+18.0625-----> 72.25 cm²

the answer is
72.25 cm²
