Answer:

a. -1.60377

b. 0.25451

c. 0.344

d. Option b) 78th

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of pieces in a regular bag of Skittles is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 38.4 and a standard deviation of 2.12.

a)What is the z-score value of a randomly selected bag of Skittles that has 35 Skittles? a) 1.62 b) -1.62 c) 3.40 d) -3.40 e)1.303.

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

z = 35 - 38.4/2.12

= -1.60377

Option b) -1.62 is correct

b) What is the probability that a randomly selected bag of Skittles has at least 37 Skittles? a) .152 b) .247 c) .253 d).747e).7534. .

z = (x-μ)/σ

Mean of 38.4 and a standard deviation of 2.12.

z = (37 - 38.4)/2.12

= -0.66038

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x<37) = 0.25451

The probability that a randomly selected bag of Skittles has at least 37 Skittles is 0.25451

Option c) .253 is.correct

c) What is the probability that a randomly selected bag of Skittles has between 39 and 42 Skittles? a) .112 b) .232 c) .344 d).457 e).6125.

z = (x-μ)/σ

Mean of 38.4 and a standard deviation of 2.12.

For 39 Skittles

z = (39 - 38.4)/2.12

= 0.28302

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 39) = 0.61142

For 42 Skittles

z = (42 - 38.4)/2.12

= 1.69811

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 42) = 0.95526

The probability that a randomly selected bag of Skittles has between 39 and 42 Skittles is:

P(x = 42) - P(x = 39

0.95526 - 0.61142

0.34384

= 0.344

Option c is.correct

d) What is the percentile rank of a randomly selected bag of Skittles that has 40 Skittles in it? a)82nd b) 78th c) 75th d)25th e)22nd

z = (x-μ)/σ

Mean of 38.4 and a standard deviation of 2.12.

z = (40 - 38.4)/2.12

= 0.75472

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x = 40) = 0.77479

Converting to percentage = 0.77479× 100

= 77. 479%

≈ 77.5

Percentile rank = 78th

I need help with question 3
agasfer [191]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y-intercept let x = 0, in the equation

6x - 3y = 15 → (1)

x = 0 : - 3y = 15 ⇒ y = - 5 ⇒ (0, - 5) ← y- intercept

x + 3y = - 8 → (2)

x = 0 : 3y = - 8 ⇒ y = -\frac{8}{3} ⇒ (0, - \frac{8}{3}) ← y- intercept

a lady left from Nakuru to Mombasa she drove for 1 hour 45 min she toke a 15 min break then she drives for another 1 hour 20 min
BabaBlast [244]

drove 1h 45 min

break 15 min

drives 1h 20 min

1h 45min+1h 20 min+15min=3h 20min

3h 20 min=3 1/3h

3 1/3h*75 km/hr=<u>250 km</u>

How can all the solutions to an equation in two variables be represented?
OLga [1]

How do linear, quadratic, and exponential functions compare?

Answer:

How can all the solutions to an equation in two variables be represented?

<u><em>The solution to a system of linear equations in two variables is any ordered pair x,y which satisfies each equation independently. U can Graph, solutions are points at which the lines intersect.</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

<u><em>How can all the solutions to an equation in two variables be represented?</em></u>

<u><em>you can solve it by Iterative method and Newton Raphson's method.</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

<u><em>How are solutions to a system of nonlinear equations found? </em></u>

Solve the linear equation for one variable.

Substitute the value of the variable into the nonlinear equation.

Solve the nonlinear equation for the variable.  

Substitute the solution(s) into either equation to solve for the other variable.

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>How can solutions to a system of nonlinear equations be approximated? U can find the solutions to a system of nonlinear equations by finding the points of intersection. The points of intersection give us an x value and a y value. Using the example system of nonlinear equations, let's look at how u can find approximate solutions.</em></u>

Elderly drivers. In January 2011, The Marist Poll published a report stating that 66% of adults nationally think licensed driver
katrin [286]

Answer:

(a) Hence, the margin of error reported by The Marist Poll was correct.

(b) Based on a 95% confidence interval the poll does not provide convincing evidence that more than 70% of the population think that licensed drivers should be required to retake their road test once they turn 65.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the Marist Poll published a report stating that 66% of adults nationally think licensed drivers should be required to retake their road test once they reach 65 years of age.

It was also reported that interviews were conducted on 1,018 American adults, and that the margin of error was 3% using a 95% confidence level.

(a) <u>Margin of error formula is given by;</u>

             Margin of Error =  Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_)  \times \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }  

where, \alpha = level of significance = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05 or 5%

Standard of error =  \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }

Also, \hat p = sample proportion of adults nationally think licensed drivers should be required to retake their road test once they reach 65 years of age = 66%

n = sample of American adults = 1.018

The critical value of z for level of significance of 2.5% is 1.96.

So, <em>Margin of Error </em>=  Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_)  \times \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }  

                                =  1.96  \times \sqrt{\frac{0.66(1-0.66)}{1,018} } = 0.03 or 3%

Hence, the margin of error reported by The Marist Poll was correct.

(b) Now, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population proportion who think that licensed drivers should be required to retake their road test once they turn 65 is given by;

                   P.Q. =  \frac{\hat p-p}{ \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }}  ~ N(0,1)

So, <u>95% confidence interval for p</u> =  \hat p \pm \text{Margin of error}

                                                        =  0.66 \pm 0.03

                                                        =  [0.66 - 0.03 , 0.66 + 0.03]

                                                        =  [0.63 , 0.69]

Hence, based on a 95% confidence interval the poll does not provide convincing evidence that more than 70% of the population think that licensed drivers should be required to retake their road test once they turn 65 because the interval does not include the value of 70% or more.
