Answer:

b) 6.68%

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value 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. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The mean score on the scale is 50. The distribution has a standard deviation of 10.

This means that \mu = 50, \sigma = 10

Matthew scores a 65. What percentage of people could be expected to score the same as Matthew or higher on this scale?

The proportion is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 65. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{65 - 50}{10}

Z = 1.5

Z = 1.5 has a p-value of 0.9332.

1 - 0.9332 = 0.0668

0.0668*100% = 6.68%

So the correct answer is given by option b.

Compare using <, >, = 5+(-4)____-4 + (-7)
nikitadnepr [17]

Good morning,

Answer:

<h2>5+(-4) > -4 + (-7)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

5+(-4) = 5 - 4 = 1

-4 + (-7) = -(4+7) = -11

since  1 > -11 then 5+(-4) > -4 + (-7)
