Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 12 x = 2

In order to complete the square we need to add ( b/2)^2 to each side where b is the coefficient of the x term

b=12

12/2 = 6

6^2 = 36

We need to add 36 to each side

A set of exam scores is normally distributed and has a mean of 80.2 and a standard deviation of 11. What is the probability that

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

93.32% probability that a randomly selected score will be greater than 63.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using 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 problem, we have that:

$\mu = 80.2, \sigma = 11$
