To subtract a number from another number, they must be the same type. 4 1/4 is a mixed number; 3/4 is a fraction. thus, 4 1/4 must be converted into fractional form go subract a fraction (3/4) from it.

A certain standardized test's math scores have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 530 and a standard deviation of 119. Co
hammer [34]

Answer:

a) P(411

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-1

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

P(-1

And the percentage would be 68.3%

b) For this case we can find this with the complement rule and with the result of the part a and we got:

P(X649) = 1-P(411< X< 649) = 1-0.683 = 0.317

And that represent 31.7%

c) P(X>768)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{768-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{768-530}{119})=P(z>2)

And we can find this probability with the complment rule like this:

P(z>2)=1-P(z

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

P(z>2)=1-P(z

And the percentage would be 2.3%

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".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the standardized test's

Where \mu=530 and \sigma=119

We are interested on this probability

P(411

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(411

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-1

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

P(-1

And the percentage would be 68.3%

Part b

For this case we can find this with the complement rule and with the result of the part a and we got:

P(X649) = 1-P(411< X< 649) = 1-0.683 = 0.317

And that represent 31.7%

Part c

P(X>768)

Using the z score we got:

P(X>768)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{768-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{768-530}{119})=P(z>2)

And we can find this probability with the complment rule like this:

P(z>2)=1-P(z

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

P(z>2)=1-P(z

And the percentage would be 2.3%

Slope-intercept you have right:
y=3/4x-7

Point slope form is:
y − y1 = m(x − x1)

so

y +7 = 3/4(x -0)

or

y + 7 = 3/4x
