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

y = x^{4} - x^{3} - 28x^{2} - 20x + 48 How many possible negative real zeros, positive real zeros, and non-real zeros does this
OleMash [197]
f(x)= x^{4} - x^{3} - 28x^{2} - 20x + 48

There are two changes of sign, so there are 2 or 0 possible positive roots.

f(-x)= x^{4} +x^{3} - 28x^{2}+ 20x + 48

There are two changes of sign, so there are 2 or 0 possible negative roots.

There are 4,2 or 0 possible non-real roots.

tennis balls with a diameter of 2.5in are sold in cans of three. the can is a cylender. what is the volume of the area not occup
mina [271]

Answer:

The volume of the area not occupied by the tennis balls is 12.28 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that tennis balls with a diameter of 2.5in are sold in cans of three. the can is a cylinder.

Radius of ball = Radius of can = \frac{2.5}{2}=1.25

Height of can = 2.5\times 3=7.5

The volume of sphere is

V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3

where, r is radius of sphere.

The volume of a tennis balls is

V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (1.25)^3

V=8.18123

V\approx 8.18

Volume of three tennis balls is

V_1=3\times 8.18=24.54

The volume of cylinder is

V=\pi r^2h

The volume of can is

V_2=\pi (1.25)^2(7.5)

V_2=36.81553

V_2\approx 36.82

The volume of the area not occupied by the tennis balls is

Volume = Volume of cylinder - Volume of three tennis balls

            = 36.82 - 24.54 = 12.28 inches

Therefore, the volume of the area not occupied by the tennis balls is 12.28 cubic inches.

Ow is the product of 3 and –2 shown using integer tiles?
PIT_PIT [208]

The correct answer is option C which is 3 sets of 2 negative tiles.

<h3>What is multiplication?</h3>

Multiplication is the process of determining the product of two or more numbers in mathematics.

We have the product of 3 and -2. We can represent this as 3 is equivalent to -2 negative tiles.

When we add -2 three times -2 - 2 -2 = -6 we will get -6 that is 3 sets of 2 negative tiles.

So when we multiply it by 3, we end with 3 sets of 2 negative tiles. This is because the order of the factors does not change the product.

Therefore the correct answer is option C which is 3 sets of 2 negative tiles.
