The distribution of the scores on a certain exam is ​N(40​,5​), which means that the exam scores are Normally distributed with a

mean of 40 and standard deviation of 5. a. Sketch the curve and​ label, on the​ x-axis, the position of the​ mean, the mean plus or minus one standard​ deviation, the mean plus or minus two standard​ deviations, and the mean plus or minus three standard deviations. b. Find the probability that a randomly selected score will be greater than 50. Shade the region under the Normal curve whose area corresponds to this probability.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the random variable representing the scores in the exam. Given that the scores are normally distributed with a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 5, the diagram representing the curve and​ the position of the​ mean, the mean plus or minus one standard​ deviation, the mean plus or minus two standard​ deviations, and the mean plus or minus three standard deviations is shown in the attached photo

1 standard deviation = 5

2 standard deviations = 2 × 5 = 10

3 standard deviations = 3 × 5 = 15

1 standard deviation from the mean lies between (40 - 5) and (40 + 5)

2 standard deviations from the mean lies between (40 - 10) and (40 + 10)

3 standard deviations from the mean lies between (40 - 15) and (40 + 15)

b) We would apply the probability for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 40

σ = 5

the probability that a randomly selected score will be greater than 50 is expressed as

P(x > 50) = 1 - P( ≤ x 50)

For x = 50,

z = (50 - 40)/5 = 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.98

P(x > 50) = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02

If you know the diameter of a circle,
arsen [322]

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Area of a circle = πr², where r means radius.

Step 1: converted diameter to radius.

diameter = 2 radius

In other way of writing, radius = \frac{1}{2} diameter.

Step 2: substitute radius into the formula.

Area of a circle = π(\frac{1}{2}d)²

Step 3: substitute π into the formula.

some question is given the value of π), if not substitute 3.14 for π.

Area of a circle = 3.14(\frac{1}{2}d)²

Step 4: substitute d into the formula, then we can solve its area.

b. a. Circumference of a circle = 2πr, where r means radius.

Step 1: converted diameter to radius.

diameter = 2 radius

In other way of writing, radius = \frac{1}{2} diameter.

Step 2: substitute radius into the formula.

C = 2π(\frac{1}{2}d)

Step 3: substitute π into the formula.

some question is given the value of π), if not substitute 3.14 for π.

C = 2(3.14)(\frac{1}{2}d)

Step 4: substitute d into the formula, then we can solve its circumference.

6(a)If the gradient of the straight line
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

(i) k =1

(ii) y-intercept is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given line:</u>

  • ky = kx + x + 7

<u>Divide all terms by k to get slope-intercept form of the line</u>

  • y = (1 + 1/k)x + 7/k

<u>Since the gradient (slope) of the line is 2:</u>

  • 1 + 1/k = 2
  • 1/k = 1
  • k = 1

<u>The equation is now:</u>

  • y = 2x + 7

<u>y - intercept is found when x = 0</u>

  • x = 0 ⇒
  • y = 2*0 + 7
  • y = 7
