10) A competency test has scores with a mean of 255 and a standard
1 answer:
Answer:
The percentage of scores higher than 72 is 99.85%
Explanation:
The empirical rule states that about 68% of observations falls within the first standard deviation (µ ± σ), 95% within the first two standard deviations (µ ± 2σ), and 99.7% within the first three standard deviations (µ ± 3σ)
We can use the relationship below
255-σ(61)=72
61σ=255-72
61σ=183
σ=3
The area is as shaded below
The percentage of scores higher than 72 is 99.7%+0.15%=99.85%

Probability distributions are used to represent data and their probabilities
The table entry is given as:
<u>Age of House Number of Houses</u>
1 15
2 20
3 25
4 30
Start by calculating the probability of selecting a house that has a certain age.
This is calculated as:
So, we have:
This means that the graph that represents the probability distribution must show that the probability of 1 is 0.17; 2 is 0.22; 3 is 0.28; 4 is 0.33.
