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 %

Pepsi [2]
Let x represent the side length of the square end, and let d represent the dimension that is the sum of length and girth. Then the volume V is given by
  V = x²(d -4x)
Volume will be maximized when the derivative of V is zero.
  dV/dx = 0 = -12x² +2dx
  0 = -2x(6x -d)
This has solutions
  x = 0, x = d/6

a) The largest possible volume is
  (d/6)²(d -4d/6) = 2(d/6)³
  = 2(108 in/6)³ = 11,664 in³

b) The dimensions of the package with largest volume are
  d/6 = 18 inches square by
  d -4d/6 = d/3 = 36 inches long

Find an exact value. Cos 75° negative square root of six plus square root of two quantity square root of six minus square root o
ehidna [41]

Answer:

√2(√3 - 1)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an exact value for Cos75°, we use the compound angle formula. Since 75° = 45° + 30°, Cos75° = Cos(45° + 30°).

Using Cos(A + B) = CosACosB - SinASinB where A = 45° and B = 30°,  

Cos75° = Cos(45° + 30°) = Cos45°Cos30° - Sin45°Sin30°

Now Cos45° = Sin45° = 1/√2 = √2/2, Cos30° = √3/2 and Sin30° = 1/2.

Substituting these values into the above equation, we have

Cos75° = Cos(45° + 30°)

= Cos45°Cos30° - Sin45°Sin30°

= √2/2 × √3/2 -  √2/2 × 1/2

= √6/4 -√2/4

= √2(√3 - 1)/4

Can someone help me with B? I’m really bad at this kind of stuff. I need help ASAP
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

D = .44P

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the slope of the line

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

Using two points

m = (22-4.4) /(50-10)

   = 17.6/40

   = .44 lb/ in^2 ft

We can use the point slope form of the equation

y-y1 = m(x-x1)  where y=D and x=P

D-4.4 = .44 (P-10)

Distribute

D-4.4 = .44P - 4.4

Add 4.4 to each side

D -4.4+4.4 = .44P -4.4+4.4

D = .44P
