what is the surface area of a pyramid if the length and width is 10 inches and the height is 9 inches?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer is 380 inches squared. The bottom side is 10x10 which is 100, then all 4 sides are 10x7 which is 70, but you have to multiply that by 4 so it becomes 280. Then you add 280 and 100, the final answer is 380in^2

Assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Those test scores are normally distributed with a mean of

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The "probability that a given score is less than negative 0.84" is $\\ P(z$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have:

The random variable is normally distributed according to a standard normal distribution, that is, a normal distribution with $\\ \mu = 0$ and $\\ \sigma = 1$ .
We are provided with a z-score of -0.84 or $\\ z = -0.84$ .

Preliminaries

A z-score is a standardized value, i.e., one that we can obtain using the next formula:

$\\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ [1]

Where

x is the raw value coming from a normal distribution that we want to standardize.
And we already know that $\\ \mu$ and $\\ \sigma$ are the mean and the standard deviation, respectively, of the normal distribution.

A z-score represents the distance from $\\ \mu$ in standard deviations units. When the value for z is negative, it "tells us" that the raw score is below $\\ \mu$ . Conversely, when the z-score is positive, the standardized raw score, x, is above the mean, $\\ \mu$ .

Solving the question

We already know that $\\ z = -0.84$ or that the standardized value for a raw score, x, is below $\\ \mu$ in 0.84 standard deviations.

The values for probabilities of the standard normal distribution are tabulated in the standard normal table, which is available in Statistics books or on the Internet and is generally in cumulative probabilities from negative infinity, - $\\ \infty$ , to the z-score of interest.

Well, to solve the question, we need to consult the standard normal table for $\\ z = -0.84$ . For this:

Find the cumulative standard normal table.
In the first column of the table, use -0.8 as an entry.
Then, using the first row of the table, find -0.04 (which determines the second decimal place for the z-score.)
The intersection of these two numbers "gives us" the cumulative probability for z or $\\ P(z$ .

Therefore, we obtain $\\ P(z$ for this z-score, or a slightly more than 20% (20.045%) for the "probability that a given score is less than negative 0.84".

This represent the area under the standard normal distribution, $\\ N(0,1)$ , at the left of z = -0.84.

To "draw a sketch of the region", we need to draw a normal distribution (symmetrical bell-shaped distribution), with mean that equals 0 at the middle of the distribution, $\\ \mu = 0$ , and a standard deviation that equals 1, $\\ \sigma = 1$ .

Then, divide the abscissas axis (horizontal axis) into equal parts of one standard deviation from the mean to the left (negative z-scores), and from the mean to the right (positive z-scores).

Find the place where z = -0.84 (i.e, below the mean and near to negative one standard deviation, $\\ -\sigma$ , from it). All the area to the left of this value must be shaded because it represents $\\ P(z$ and that is it.

The below graph shows the shaded area (in blue) for $\\ P(z$ for $\\ N(0,1)$ .

The amount of time Ricardo spends brushing his teeth follows a Normal distribution with unknown mean and standard deviation. Ric

Papessa [141]

Let $X$ denote the number of minutes spent brushing his teeth, and let $\mu$ be the mean and $\sigma$ the standard deviation for this distribution.

$\mathbb P(X$

The z-score corresponding to this probability is approximately $z=-0.2533$ , which means

$\dfrac{1-\mu}\sigma=-0.2533\iff\mu-0.2533\sigma=1$

Next, (note the sign change)

$\mathbb P(X>2)=0.02\implies\mathbb P(X\le2)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-\mu}\sigma\le\dfrac{2-\mu}\sigma\right)=0.98$

The corresponding z-score is approximately $z=2.0538$ , so you have

$\dfrac{2-\mu}\sigma=2.0538\iff\mu+2.0538\sigma=2$

Solving the two equations for $\mu$ and $\sigma$ , you'll find that the mean is approximately $\mu=1.1098$ and the standard deviation is approximately $\sigma=0.4334$ .
