Student scores on exams given by a certain instructor have mean 74 and standard deviation 14. This instructor is about to give t

wo exams, one to a class of size 25 and the other to a class of size 64.
Required:
a. Approximate the probability that the average test score in the class of size 25 exceeds 80.
b. Repeat part (a) for the class of size 64.
c. Approximate the probability that the average test score in the larger class exceeds that of the other class by over 2.2 points.

Answer:

a) Hence the probability that the average test score in the class of size 25 exceeds 80.

P ( X > 74) = 0.9838

P ( Z > 2.14) = 0.0162

b) Hence the probability that the average test score for the class of size 64

P ( X > 74) = 0.9838

P ( Z > 2.14) = 0.0003

c) Probability of the difference exceeding 2.2 = 0.9936

P (Z < 2.49) = 0.0064

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume a normal distribution.

Now,

a) For a class of 25

P ( X > 74) = P (Z > 80 - 74/ 14\sqrt(25) )\\\\= P (Z < 6 / 2.8)\\\\= P ( Z < 2.14)\\= 0.9838\\

P ( Z > 2.14) = 1- 0.9838\\= 0.0162

b)

Similarly:

For the class of 64

P ( X > 74) = P (Z > 80 - 74/ 14\sqrt(64) )\\\\= P (Z < 6 / 1.75)= P ( Z < 3.428)\\= 0.9838\\

P ( Z > 2.14) = 1- 0.9997\\= 0.0003

c) Probability of the difference exceeding 2.2

= P (Z > 2.2/\sqrt{14 * {(1/25) + (1/64}\\

= P (Z > 2.49)\\= 0.9936

P (Z < 2.49)

= 1 - 0.9936

= 0.0064

A group of high school athletes has an average GPA of 2.7 with a standard deviation of 0.9. a)Find the percentage of athletes wh
mart [117]

Answer:

a) The percentage of athletes whose GPA more than 1.665 is 87.49%.

b) John's GPA is 3.645.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 2.7, \sigma = 0.9

a)Find the percentage of athletes whose GPA more than 1.665.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1.665. So

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

Z = \frac{1.665 - 2.7}{0.9}

Z = -1.15

Z = -1.15 has a pvalue of 0.1251

1 - 0.1251 = 0.8749

The percentage of athletes whose GPA more than 1.665 is 87.49%.

b) John's GPA is more than 85.31 percent of the athletes in the study. Compute his GPA.

His GPA is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8531. So it is X when Z = 1.05.

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

1.05 = \frac{X - 2.7}{0.9}

X - 2.7 = 1.05*0.9

X = 3.645

John's GPA is 3.645.

I get see photo. I l ow this is wrong. Can you help?
mylen [45]

Given the equation:

y=x^2+x-4

We will find the value of (y) when ( x = 2i )

Note: i² = -1

so, when x = 2i

y=(2i)^2+(2i)-4

Simplifying the answer

So,

\begin{gathered} y=4i^2+2i-4 \\ y=4\cdot(-1)+2i-4 \\ y=-4+2i-4 \\ y=-8+2i \end{gathered}

So, the answer will be y = -8+2i
