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

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

4m, 4m, and 5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information give;

  • Two sides of a triangle are equal in length
  • The third side is 3 m less than the common length
  • Perimeter of the rectangle is 13 m

We are required to determine the dimensions of the triangle;

  • Assuming the common sides are x m each
  • Then, the third side will be (2x-3) m
  • Perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of the three sides

Therefore;

(2x-3) + x + x = 13 m

4x - 3 = 13m

4x = 16 m

x = 4 m

and, 2x-3 = 5 m

Therefore, the lengths of the three sides of the triangle are 4m, 4m, and 5 m

Simplify 3 1/5 + 4/16<br><br> Help asap!!!
Flauer [41]

Answer:

3 1/5 = 16/5

4/16 = 1/4

simply and find a common denominator, in this case it is 20. Multiply the top and bottom by the same number, to get the bottom to twenty. So, to get 5 to 20, you must multiply by 4, so you have to multiply the top by 4 too, which is 64. Do the same for the next fraction.  

16/5 = 64/ 20 (both x4)

1/4 = 5/20 (both x5)

now add

64/20 + 5/20 = 69/20

69/20 is the final answer because it cannot be simplified futher.
