The two z-scores are -1.53 and 1.53

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the two z-scores that separate the middle 87.4% of the distribution from the area in the tails of the standard normal distribution

  1. Assume that z-score is between -c and c ⇒ P(-c < z < c) = the given value
  2. Find the value of P(z < -c or z > c) = 1 - the given value
  3. P(z < -c) + P(z > c) = the answer of the previous step
  4. 2*P(z < -c) = the answer of the previous step
  5. Find the value of P(z < -c)
  6. In the z-table having area to the left of z, look for the value closest to the value of P(z < -c) inside the table to find the closest value of z

∵ P(-c < z < c) = 87.4%

∵ 87.4% = 87.4 ÷ 100 = 0.874

∴ P(-c < z < c) = 0.874

∵ P(z > c) = 1 - 0.874 = 0.126

∴ P(z < -c) + P(z > c) = 0.126

∵ P(z > c) = P(z < -c)

∴ P(z < -c) + P(z < -c) = 0.126

∴ 2*P(z < -c) = 0.126

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ P(z < -c) = 0.063

Let us use the z-table to find the corresponding values of

z to 0.063

∵ The corresponding value of z to 0.063 = -1.53

∴ The two z-scores = -1.53 and 1.53

The attached figure for more understand

The two z-scores are -1.53 and 1.53

The solution to a system of (linear) equations is the point where the graphs intersect. Consider two parallel lines. By definition, two parallel lines never intersect each other, but all pairs of non-parallel lines will eventually intersect. That means they will also have a solution.

Let's consider what makes a line parallel to another line. It basically looks identical, having the same steepness (slope), but the graph is just shifted over. That is, a parallel line would have the same slope and a different y-intercept. For our equation 2y-4x=12, or y=2x+6 in slope-intercept form, a parallel line will be of the form y=2x+b.

That describes the form of a parallel line, which we do not want. Any other line, however, will give a solution to our system, so we merely want a line where the slope does not equal 2.

We can have any equation of the form y=mx+b, \ x \neq 2.

Consider a bell-shaped symmetric distribution with mean of 16 and standard deviation of 1.5. Approximately what percentage of da
fredd [130]

Answer: 95.45 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The distribution is bell shaped , then the distribution must be normal distribution.

Mean : \mu=\ 16

Standard deviation :\sigma= 1.5

The formula to calculate the z-score :-

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

For x = 13

z=\dfrac{13-16}{1.5}=-2

For x = 19

z=\dfrac{19-16}{1.5}=2

The p-value = P(-2

0.9772498-0.0227501=0.9544997\approx0.9545

In percent, 0.9545\times100=95.45\%

Hence, the percentage of data lie between 13 and 19 = 95.45 %

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rejection of aspirin argument is more dangerous because the incorrect dosage of aspirin may cause more severe adverse reactions than the incorrect dosage of vitamin C. It would be prudent to use a lower level of significance to test the aspirin argument.
