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 %

Which is the equation of a line that passes through the points (1,4) and (-1,1)
horsena [70]

Answer:

The equation of the line is y = 3/2x + 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of this line, start by using the two points with the slope formula to find the slope.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4 - 1)/(1 - -1)

m = 3/(1 + 1)

m = 3/2

Now that we have the slope, we can use that and either point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = 3/2(x - 1)

y - 4 = 3/2x - 3/2

y = 3/2x + 5/2

The null hypothesis is that the average high temperature in December is 45 degrees. If someone reports that the average was 52 d
Vanyuwa [196]
P-value approach is used to take a decision to reject or accept the null hypothesis as indicated below:
<span>REJECT the hypothesis, if p-value </span><span>FAIL TO REJECT the hypothesis, if p-value > the alpha value.
</span><span>Alpha value represents the level of significance </span>
<span>If alpha value is NOT indicated: alpha = 0.05 can be assumed </span>

<span>REJECT the hypothesis, because p-value (0.036) < the alpha value assumed which is 0.05</span>
