Answer:

The mean is \mu = 131

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:

\sigma = 39

What is the mean of this normal distribution if the probability of scoring above x = 209 is 0.0228?

This means that when X = 209, Z has a pvalue of 1-0.0228 = 0.9772. So when X = 209, Z = 2.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

2 = \frac{209 - \mu}{39}

209 - \mu = 2*39

\mu = 209 - 78

\mu = 131

The mean is \mu = 131

The sign of the product of –35 and –625 is (positive, negative, zero)
ziro4ka [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

-35 x - 625 = 21875 so positive

263 x 0 = 0 so zero

-21 x 451 = - 9471 so negative

-350 x 89 = - 31150 so negative

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (2,-2) and is perpendicular to x + 5y =6
Oksana_A [137]
X + 5y = 6
5y = -x + 6
y = -1/5x + 6/5....the slope here is -1/5. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip the original slope and change the sign. So we flip -1/5 and make is -5/1....and we change the sign...making it 5/1 or just 5. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of 5.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5
(2,-2)...x = 2 and y = -2
sub and find b, the y int
-2 = 5(2) + b
-2 = 10 + b
-2 - 10 = b
-12 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = 5x - 12 <=

The difference of three times a number and 4 is -15
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Let the number be n.

3n - 4= -15

3n= -15+4

3n= -11

n= -11/3

n= -3.67 or n= -3 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Bring over 4 to the RHS of the equation and divide the RHS by 3.
