We are given that Reginald answered = 78% questions.

Total questions in percentage form could be written as 100%.

Reginald answered = 78% so, Reginald answered didn't answer = 100-78 = 12%.

Now, we need to convert 12% into a fraction.

We know, a percentage represents out of 100. So, we need write 100 in the bottom of that number.

Therefore, 12% could be written as 12/100.

Now, we could reduce 12/100 into simplest fraction, by dividing by a common number in top and bottom.

12 and 100 both can be divided by 4.

Dividing 12 and 100 by 4, we get

$\frac{\frac{12}{4} }{\frac{100}{4} } = \frac{3}{25}$

Therefore, 3/25 fractional part did he not answer correctly.

HURRY I NEED HELP: Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (3, 5) and has a slope of m=−

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

$\huge y - 5 = - 1(x - 3) \\$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line in point slope form when given the slope and a point we use the formula

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

From the question we have the final answer as

$y - 5 = - 1(x - 3)$

Hope this helps you

Answer:

14.69% probability that this happens

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$
