Answer:

P(25

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(0

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(0

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem'

Let X the random variable that represent the hous spent studying the week before final exams of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(25,6)  

Where \mu=25 and \sigma=6

We are interested on this probability

P(25

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(25

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(0

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(0

Sergio [31]

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 40 by 3 because 40 is 1/3 and find the answer for 3/3.

I got 120, subtract 20 from 120 beacause there is 20 silver cards. The answer is 100

Lyrx [107]

-5x+6(4x+15)=242\qquad|\text{use distributive property}\\\\-5x+(6)(4x)+(6)(15)=242\\\\-5x+24x+90=242\qquad|\text{subtract 90 from both sides}\\\\19x=152\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 19}\\\\x=8

Prove the trigonometric identity!<br><br> Please help!! 50 Points!
Rudiy27

Answer:

:)

Step-by-step explanation:

For simplicity I will substitue x for β.

1-sin(2x)=(cosx-sinx)^2\\1-2sin(x)cos(x)=cos^2x-2sin(x)cos(x)+sin^2x\\1=cos^2(x)+sin^2(x)\\1=1

In the first step I used the identity

sin(2x)=2sin(x)cos(x)

And I factored out (cosx-sinx)^2

Then it's just simple algebra to cancel till the 3rd step where we used another identity derived from the Pythagorean Theorem.

cos^2(x)+sin^2(x)=1

That's it!
