A professor gives her 100 students an exam; scores are normally distributed. The section has an average exam score of 80 with a

standard deviation of 6.5. What percentage of the class has an exam score of A- or higher (defined as at least 90)? Type your calculations along with your answer for full credit; round your final percentage to two decimal places.

Answer:

6.18% of the class has an exam score of A- or higher.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 80, \sigma = 6.5

What percentage of the class has an exam score of A- or higher (defined as at least 90)?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 90. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{90 - 80}{6.5}

Z = 1.54

Z = 1.54 has a pvalue of 0.9382

1 - 0.9382 = 0.0618

6.18% of the class has an exam score of A- or higher.

Answer:

y = -1/2x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

The y intercept is 1 (this is where it crosses the y intercept)

(0,1) and (2,0) are two points on the line

The slope is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (0-1)/(2-0)

   = -1/2

The slope is -1/2

The slope intercept form is y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -1/2x +1

Chase has been playing a game where he can create towns and help his empire expand. Each town he has allows him to create 1.13 t
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Well the way I see it is he started with 4 villager so I would see the equation to be

 1.13x times 17+4 would equal the amount of villagers he could have which would be 23.21 as for the equation it would be 1.13x times 17 plus four equals the number of villagers total
