When Noah goes bowling, his scores are normally distributed with a mean of 150 and a standard deviation of 12. What is the proba

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

The probability of his score being between 135 and 167 is 0.8151 or (0.8151*100=81.51%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean = μ = 150

SD = σ = 12

Let x1 be the first data point and x2 the second data point

We have to find the z-scores for both data points

x1 = 135

x2 = 167

So,

$z_1 = \frac{x_1-mean}{SD}\\= \frac{135-150}{12}\\=\frac{-15}{12}\\=-1.25$

And

$z_2 = \frac{x_2-mean}{SD}\\z_2 =\frac{167-150}{12}\\=\frac{17}{12}\\= {1.416}$

We have to find area to the left of both points then their difference to find the probability.

So,

Area to the left of z1 = 0.1056

Area to the left of z2 = 0.9207

Probability to score between 135 and 167 = z2-z1 = 0.9027-0.1056 = 0.8151

Hence,

The probability of his score being between 135 and 167 is 0.8151 or (0.8151*100=81.51%)

Use four rectangles to estimate the area between the graph of the function f(x) = V3x + 5 and the x-axis on the interval[0, 4] u

yuradex [85]

Answer:

12.123

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the area under the curve f(x) = √(3x+5) on the interval [0, 4] estimated using the left sum and four subintervals.

<h3>Riemann sum</h3>

When the interval [0, 4] is divided into four equal parts, each has unit width. That means the area of the rectangle defined by the curve and the interval width will be equal to the value of the curve at the left end of the interval.

The area we want is the sum ...

f(0) +f(1) +f(2) +f(3)

As the attachment shows, that sum is ...

area ≈ 12.123 . . . square units

<em>Additional comment</em>

The table values in the attachment are rounded to 7 decimal places. Trailing zeros are not shown. Actual values used have 12 significant digits, as the total shows.

Such a sum is called a Riemann sum, named for a German mathematician. Four such sums are commonly used, and further refinements are possible. Those are the left sum (as here), the right sum, the midpoint sum, and a sum using a trapezoidal approximation of the rectangle area.

For left, right, and midpoint sums, n function values are required for n subintervals. When the trapezoidal approximation is used, n+1 function values are required.
