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

Answer:

<em>x² + 2x - 15 = 0 </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

- 5 and 3 are zeros of quadratic function.

(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0

<em>x² + 2x - 15 = 0</em>

A área de um retângulo é igual a 44, sabendo que as suas medidas são iguais a 4 e (3x+2), calcule a medida do lado maior deste r
jekas [21]

Responda:

11

Explicação passo a passo:

Área do retângulo = comprimento * largura

Dado

Comprimento = 4

Largura = 3x + 2

Área = 44

Substitua na fórmula e obtenha x

44 = 4 (3x + 2)

44 = 12x + 8

12x = 44-8

12x = 36

x = 36/12

x = 3

Obtenha os lados mais longos

Lado mais longo = 3x + 2

Substitua x = 3

Lado mais comprido = 3 (3) + 2

Lado mais comprido = 11

Portanto, a medida do lado mais longo deste retângulo é 11
