The mean is \mu=85 and standard deviation is \sigma=5. Then the variable X\sim N(85,5).

Use substitution Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{X-85}{5}, then the variable Z\sim N(0,1).

The probability Pr(X>80) can be calculated in the following way:

for X=80, Z=\dfrac{80-85}{5} =-1 and Pr(X>80)=Pr(Z>-1). From the diagram Pr(Z>-1)=0.34+0.34+0.135+0.025=0.84.

Conclusion: if 188 students take the exam, then 188·0.84=157.92 (157) would receive a score above 80

In a function, y varies inversely with x. The consistent of variation is 4. Which table could represent the function?
lianna [129]

Answer:

none of the tables shown

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse variation is

xy = k where k is the constant

xy = 4

in the top table

-2*2 = -4 so it cannot be the first table

In the middle table

-2 * -8 = 16  so it is not the middle table

In the bottom table

-2 *4 = -8 so it is not the bottom table

There must be a table not shown
