Answer:

a. z-score = -1.2

b. The age 23 years old is -1.2 standard deviations below the mean

c. The age is not unusual

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Transformation to z-score

Mathematically;

z-score = (x - μ)/σ

where σ and μ are the standard deviation and the mean respectively.

From the question, x = 23, μ = 27.2 and σ = 3.5

Let’s put these into the equation;

z-score = (23-27.2)/3.5 = -1.2

b. Interpretation of result

The interpretation is that 23 years old is -1.2 standard deviations below the mean

c. Determination

The age is not unusual. This is because any z-value below -2 or above 2 is considered unusual

-1.2 is above -2 and thus it is not unusual

When making a fruit salad, a chef chooses 7 fruits from 10 that are in season. how many different fruit salads can the chef crea
Furkat [3]
For this example, we must combine not permutate; this because a salad in which you first use apple then tomato is the same as the one in which you use first tomato then apple, so order does not matter.

Me must do "10 combine 7" which is written by the binomial coefficient (_{7} ^{10}); in general a binomial coefficient is written by:
(_{k} ^{n})= \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

In which n and k are positive integers, such that n\ \textgreater \ k.

So, for this problem:
(_{7} ^{10})= \frac{10!}{7!(10-7)!}=\frac{10!}{7!3!}= \frac{10*9*8}{3*2}=10*3*4=120

Hence, there are 120 different ways to make the fruit salad.
