Answer: 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The scores on the midterm exam are normally distributed with

\mu=72.3\\\\\sigma=8.9

Let X be random variable that represents the score of the students.

z-score: z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

For x=82

z=\dfrac{82-72.3}{8.9}\approx1.09

For x=90

z=\dfrac{90-72.3}{8.9}\approx1.99

Now, the probability of the students in the class receive a score between 82 and 90 ( by using standard normal distribution table ) :-

P(82

Now ,the number of students expected to receive a score between 82 and 90 are :-

184\times0.1146=21.0864\approx21

Hence, 21 students are expected to receive a score between 82 and 90 .

The safety inspector in a large city wants to estimate the proportion of buildings in the city that are in violation of fire cod
storchak [24]

Answer:

Check Explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample will be a representative of the entire build us in the city.

For a sample size 35, 3 have fire code violations, hence, the proportion of houses with fire code violations = (3/35) = 0.0857 = 8.57 %

The uncertainty in the estimate is given in the form of standard error.

Standard error = √[(p(1-p)/n]

n = sample size = 35, p = 0.0857, 1 - p = 0.9143

Standard error of the sample = √(0.0857×0.9143/35) = 0.1616

In terms of the population, (0.1616/35) = 0.00462

Proportion of buildings with fire code violations = (8.57 ± 0.462) %

Sam sees a rocket traveling straight up at an angle of elevation of 24 degrees. If Sam is located 5 miles from the rocket Launch
julsineya [31]

Given :

Angle of elevation, Ф = 24°.

Distance of Sam from launchpad, D = 5 miles.

To Find :

How high is the rocket.

Solution :

Let, height is h.

We know, tan Ф is given by :

tan \ \phi=\dfrac{h}{d}\\\\tan \ 24^{\circ}=\dfrac{h}{5}\\\\h = 5\times tan \ 24^{\circ}\\\\h = 2.226 \ miles

Hence, this is the required solution.
