<u>Errors in Algebraic Operations </u>
It's usual that students make mistakes when misunderstanding the application of algebra's basic rules. Here we have two of them
- When we change the signs of all the terms of a polynomial, the expression must be preceded by a negative sign
- When multiplying negative and positive quantities, if the number of negatives is odd, the result is negative. If the number of negatives is even, the result is positive.
- Not to confuse product of fractions with the sum of fractions. Rules are quite different
The first expression is
Let's arrange into format:
We can clearly see in all of the factors in the expression the signs were changed correctly, but the result should have been preceeded with a negative sign, because it makes 3 (odd number) negatives, resulting in a negative expression. The correct form is
Now for the second expression
Let's arrange into format
It's a clear mistake because it was asssumed a product of fractions instead of a SUM of fractions. If the result was correct, then the expression should have been
Using the normal distribution, it is found that there was a 0.9579 = 95.79% probability of a month having a PCE between $575 and $790.
<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean and standard deviation
is given by:
- The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
- Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.
The mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:
.
The probability of a month having a PCE between $575 and $790 is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 790 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 575</u>, hence:
X = 790:
Z = 1.8
Z = 1.8 has a p-value of 0.9641.
X = 575:
Z = -2.5
Z = -2.5 has a p-value of 0.0062.
0.9641 - 0.0062 = 0.9579.
0.9579 = 95.79% probability of a month having a PCE between $575 and $790.
