Answer:
a) 15.579
b) 39.019
Step-by-step explanation:
a) For the top 2% the z-value from the z table
z = 2.054
thus,
z =
here
X = 132
Mean = 100
thus,
2.054 =
or
σ = 15.579
b) Using tables, we get for Z = 0.89 the value of 0.8133 and for Z= 0.90 the value of 0.8159
By interpolation, values for 0.815 and we get Z=0.897
thus,
z =
here
X = 220
Mean = 185
thus,
0.897 =
or
σ = 39.019
Answer:
The value of the expression increases as j decreases
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
As j decreases, the value of j300 decreases (i.e the farther j300 is from 150). Due to the wider gap between 150 and j300, the value of f(j) increases.
For example:
When j = 1, f(j) = 150 - (300*1) = -150
When j = 0.5, f(j) = 150 - (300*0.5) = 0
When j = 0. f(j) = 150 - (300*0) = 150
It is obvious from the analogy above that the expression 150-j150−j150 increases as j decreases
