Consider a value to be significantly low if its z score less than or equal to minus 2 or consider a value to be significantly hi

gh if its z score is greater than or equal to 2. A test is used to assess readiness for college. In a recent​ year, the mean test score was 21.6 and the standard deviation was 5.4. Identify the test scores that are significantly low or significantly high. What test scores are significantly​ low?

Answer:

The scores that are less than or equal to 10.8 are considered significantly low.

The scores that are greater than or equal to 32.4 are considered significantly high.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 21.6

Standard Deviation, σ = 5.4

We are given that the distribution of score is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Significantly low score:

z \leq -2\\z = \displaystyle\frac{x-21.6}{5.4} \leq -2\\\\\displaystyle\frac{x-21.6}{5.4} \leq -2\\\\x\leq -2(5.4) + 21.6\\\Rightarrow x \leq 10.8

Thus, scores that are less than or equal to 10.8 are considered significantly low.

Significantly high score:

z \geq 2\\z = \displaystyle\frac{x-21.6}{5.4} \geq 2\\\\\displaystyle\frac{x-21.6}{5.4} \geq 2\\\\x\geq 2(5.4) + 21.6\\\Rightarrow x \geq 32.4

Thus, scores that are greater than or equal to 32.4 are considered significantly high.

Kryger [21]
Assuming the distribution is continuous, you have

\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle\int_1^{29}\frac x{29-1}\,\mathrm dx=\dfrac1{28}\int_1^{29}x\,\mathrm dx=15

If instead the distribution is discrete, the value will depend on how the interval of number between 1 and 29 are chosen - are they integers? evenly spaced rationals? etc

Fine the equation, in standard form, of the line passing through the points (3,-4) and (5,1)
Talja [164]

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (3, -4) and (5, 1). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{1-(-4)}{5-3}=\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\y-(-4)=\dfrac{5}{2}(x-3)

The standard form: Ax+By=C

y+4=\dfrac{5}{2}(x-3)           <em>multiply both sides by 2</em>

2y+8=5(x+3)           <em>use distributive property</em>

2y+8=5x+15            <em>subtract 2y from both sides</em>

8=5x-2y+15          <em>subtract 15 from both sides</em>

-7=5x-2y

<h3>Answer: 5x - 2y = -7</h3>
