Scores on a university exam are Normally distributed with a mean of 78 and a standard deviation of 8. The professor teaching the

class declares that a score of 62 or higher is required for a grade of at least a D. Using the 68-95-99.7 rule, what percentage of students score below 62

Answer:

Porcentage of students score below 62 is close to 0,08%

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule

68-95-99.7

establishes:

The intervals:

[ μ₀ - 0,5σ ,  μ₀ + 0,5σ] contains 68.3 % of all the values of the population

[ μ₀ - σ ,  μ₀ + σ]   contains 95.4 % of all the values of the population

[ μ₀ - 1,5σ ,  μ₀ + 1,5σ] contains 99.7 % of all the values of the population

In our case such intervals become

[ μ₀ - 0,5σ ,  μ₀ + 0,5σ]   ⇒  [ 78 - (0,5)*8 , 78 + (0,5)*8 ]  ⇒[ 74 , 82]

[ μ₀ - σ ,  μ₀ + σ]  ⇒ [ 78 - 8 , 78 +8 ]   ⇒  [ 70 , 86 ]

[ μ₀ - 1,5σ ,  μ₀ + 1,5 σ]  ⇒ [ 78 - 12 , 78 + 12 ]  ⇒ [ 66 , 90 ]

Therefore the last interval

[ μ₀ - 1,5σ ,  μ₀ + 1,5 σ]    ⇒  [ 66 , 90 ]

has as lower limit 66 and contains 99.7 % of population, according to that the porcentage of students score below 62 is very small, minor than 0,15 %

100 - 99,7  = 0,3 %

Only 0,3 % of population is out of   μ₀ ± 1,5 σ, and by symmetry 0,3 /2 = 0,15 % is below the lower limit, 62 is even far from 66 so we can estimate, that the porcentage of students score below 62 is under 0,08 %

The weights of baskets of strawberries are normally distributed with a mean of 3.8 ounces and a standard deviation of 1.1 ounces
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

6 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

this one is mainly elimination. 3.8 and 4.9 cant be because they're too close to the mean. and 7.1 is too far. you can also use z-score. the z score of .975 is 1.96 we can plug that into out formula so

1.96=(x-3.8)/1.1

multiply both sides by 1.1 and then add 3.8

you can also use scientific calculator.

second vars, 3, the area is your percent so .975, the u is mean so 3.8, the o is standard deviation so 1.1

A student drives 4.8-km trip to school and averages a speed of 22.6 m/s. on the return trip home, the student travels with an av
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

In this case, we cannot simply take the average speed by adding the two speeds and divide by two.

What we have to do is to calculate the time required going to school and the return trip home.

We know that to calculate time, we use the formula:

t = d / v

where,

d = distance = 4.8 km = 4800 m

v = velocity

 

Let us say that the variables related to the trip going to school is associated with 1, and the return trip home is 2. So,

 

t1 = 4800 m / (22.6 m / s)

t1 = 212.39 s

 

t2 = 4800 / (16.8 m / s)

t2 = 285.71 s

 

total time, t = t1 + t2

t = 498.1 s

 

Therefore the total average velocity is:

= (4800 m + 4800 m) / 498.1 s

= 19.27 m / s = 19.3 m / s

 

Answer:

19.3 m/s
