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

Answer:

It's y=4x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

if you find the slope m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Then you know the y-intercept is 3 because it gives you the point (0,3).

A donut store has 11 different types of donuts. You can only buy a bag of 3 of them, where each donut has to be of a different t

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

$165$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since repetition isn't allowed, there would be $11$ choices for the first donut, $(11 - 1) = 10$ choices for the second donut, and $(11 - 2) = 9$ choices for the third donut. If the order in which donuts are placed in the bag matters, there would be $11 \times 10 \times 9$ unique ways to choose a bag of these donuts.

In practice, donuts in the bag are mixed, and the ordering of donuts doesn't matter. The same way of counting would then count every possible mix of three donuts type $3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6$ times.

For example, if a bag includes donut of type $x$ , $y$ , and $z$ , the count $11 \times 10 \times 9$ would include the following $3 \times 2 \times 1$ arrangements:

$xyz$ .
$xzy$ .
$yxz$ .
$yzx$ .
$zxy$ .
$zyx$ .

Thus, when the order of donuts in the bag doesn't matter, it would be necessary to divide the count $11 \times 10 \times 9$ by $3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6$ to find the actual number of donut combinations:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{11 \times 10 \times 9}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 165\end{aligned}$ .

Using combinatorics notations, the answer to this question is the same as the number of ways to choose an unordered set of $3$ objects from a set of $11$ distinct objects:

$\begin{aligned}\begin{pmatrix}11 \\ 3\end{pmatrix} &= \frac{11 !}{(11 - 3)! \times 3 !} \\ &= \frac{11 !}{8 ! \times 3 !} \\ &= \frac{11 \times 10 \times 9}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 165\end{aligned}$ .

Given:B is the midpoint of AC. Complete the statement. If AB = 7,then BC = _____, and AC = ____.

Alex73 [517]

Midpoint

We know AC is a segment and B is its midpoint. This means the length of the segment AB is half the length of the segment AC. This also means the length of the segment BC is half the length of AC, and equal to AB.

This can be visualized as follows:

Since AB=7, then BC = 7 and AC=AB+BC = 14

Answer: BC = 7, and AC=!4
