A researcher was interested in seeing how many names a class of 38 students could remember after playing a name game After playi

ng the name game, the students were asked to recall as many first names of fellow students as possible. The mean number of names recalled was 19.41 with a standard deviation of 3.17. Use this information to solve the following problem. What proportion of the students recalled more than 15 names?

Answer:

Proportion of the students recalled more than 15 names is 91.77%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a researcher was interested in seeing how many names a class of 38 students could remember after playing a name game After playing the name game, the students were asked to recall as many first names of fellow students as possible.

The mean number of names recalled was 19.41 with a standard deviation of 3.17.

<em>Let X = number of names recalled</em>

SO, X ~ N(\mu = 19.41,\sigma^{2} = 3.17^{2})

The z-score probability distribution is given by ;

                  Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean number of names recalled = 19.41

            \sigma = standard deviation = 3.17

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

Now, proportion of the students recalled more than 15 names is given by = P(X > 15 names)

     P(X > 15) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{{\sigma} } } > \frac{15-19.41}{3.17}  } ) = P(Z > -1.39)

                                                      = P(Z < 1.39) = 0.9177  {using z table}

<em>Therefore, proportion of the students recalled more than 15 names is </em><em>91.77%.</em>

Vertical and Adjacent Angles (3 Activities)<br> 100 POINTS+BRAINLIEST
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Problem B: x = 12; m<EFG = 48

Problem C: m<G = 60; m<J = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem B.

Angles EFG and IFH are vertical angles, so they are congruent.

m<EFG = m<IFH

4x = 48

x = 12

m<EFG = m<IFH = 48

Problem C.

One angle is marked a right angle, so its measure is 90 deg.

The next angle counterclockwise is marked 30 deg.

Add these two measures together, and you get 120 deg.

<J is vertical with the angle whose measure is 120 deg, so m<J = 120 deg.

Angles G and J from a linear pair, so they are supplementary, and the sum of their measures is 180 deg.

m<G = 180 - 120 = 60

Three research departments have 9, 7, and 10 members, respectively. Each department is to select a delegate and an alternate to
aivan3 [116]
Work:
First department: (They have 9 possibilities for delegate and 8 for alternate)
9 * 8 = 72
Second department: (They have 7 possibilities for delegate and 6 for alternate)
7 * 6 = 42
Third department: (They have 10 possibilities for delegate and 9 for alternate)
10 * 9 = 90
Total possibilities:
72 * 42 * 90 = 272,160 possibilities

I hope this helps!

Find the unknown angle A<br>​

40! When you add all four angles of a quadrilateral together, you will always end up with 360. So, 360-75-120-125=40 :) have a great day!

Plz show your work. Thx!! <br> 9m=6
grandymaker [24]
So first you would divide the 9 on both sides then 6 divided by 9 would be .6 repeating so m=.6 repeating.
