write an expression to describe a rule for the sequence. Then find the 100th term in the sequence 3, 10, 17, 24, 31, 38, ...

blagie [28]

As we can tell, the first number is 3, so we'll have a y-intercept in our equation and overall. Secondly, we can tell it's increasing by 7 each time, so we can tell that's the rate. But, it won't just be 3+7x, if we plug 1 in, it would be 10 and not 3. We need to put in the parenthesis 3+7(x-1). If we put one in, we would receive three. Let's make sure this works.
3+7(5-1)
3+7(4)
3+28
31
31 is the fifth terms.
So the expression would be 3+7(x-1).
Let's find the 100th term.
3+7(100-1)
3+7(99)
3+693
696
So the 100th term would be 696.

SAT scores are normed so that, in any year, the mean of the verbal or math test should be 500 and the standard deviation 100. as

vovangra [49]

Answer:

a) $P(X>625)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{625-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{625-500}{100})=P(Z>1.25)$

$P(Z>1.25)=1-P(Z$

b) $P(400$

$P(-1$

c) $z=-0.842$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=500 -0.842*100=415.8$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 20% of data from the top 80% is 415.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the SAT scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(500,100)$

Where $\mu=500$ and $\sigma=100$

We are interested on this probability

$P(X>625)$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(X>625)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{625-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{625-500}{100})=P(Z>1.25)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard table or excel:

$P(Z>1.25)=1-P(Z$

Part b

We are interested on this probability

$P(400$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(400$

And we can find this probability with this difference:

$P(-1$

And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

$P(-1$

Part c

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

$P(X>a)=0.8$ (a)

$P(X$ (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.2 of the area on the left and 0.8 of the area on the right it's z=-0.842. On this case P(Z<-0.842)=0.2 and P(Z>-0.842)=0.8

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

$P(X$
