A math professor notices that scores from a recent exam are normally distributed with a mean of 61 and a standard deviation of 8

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

a) 25% of the students exam scores fall below 55.6.

b) The minimum score for an A is 84.68.

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.

Mean of 61 and a standard deviation of 8.

This means that $\mu = 61, \sigma = 8$

(a) What score do 25% of the students exam scores fall below?

Below the 25th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.25, that is, X when Z = -0.675.

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

$-0.675 = \frac{X - 61}{8}$

$X - 61 = -0.675*8$

$X = 55.6$

25% of the students exam scores fall below 55.6.

(b) Suppose the professor decides to grade on a curve. If the professor wants 0.15% of the students to get an A, what is the minimum score for an A?

This is the 100 - 0.15 = 99.85th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.9985. So X when Z = 2.96.

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

$2.96 = \frac{X - 61}{8}$

$X - 61 = 2.96*8$

$X = 84.68$

The minimum score for an A is 84.68.

Doug, a student in this class, knows how to write programs in JAVA. Everyone who knows how to write programs in JAVA can get a h

In-s [12.5K]

Missing Part of Question

Explain which rules of inference are used in the above

Answer:

Universal instantiation, Modus ponens and Existential generalization

Step-by-step explanation:

Splitting the Statement into two, we have

"Doug knows how to write program is Java"

and

"Doug can get a high paying job"

Represent Doug with x. Then the statements is rewritten as

P(x) = "x knows how to write program is Java"

and

Q(x) = "x can get a high paying job"

In logic, A premise is a statement in an argument that provides reason or support for the conclusion.

So, Statement 1 can be written as

1. P(x) ---- Premise

Then, we have

2. Vx(P(x) --> Q(x)) -- Premise. This mean that P(x) for all values in the domain.

The universal instantiation of (2) leads to

3. P(Doug) --> Q(Doug)

The modus ponens of the above gives

4. Q(Doug)

The existential generalisation from above gives

5. ƎxQ(x)

Which means someone in this class can get a high paying job.

PS:

Universal Instantiation is a valid rule of inference from a truth about each member of a class of individuals to the truth about a particular individual of that class; it is represented by VxP(x).

Existential Generalisation is a valid rule of inference that allows one to move from a specific statement, or one instance, to a quantified generalized statement, or existential proposition.

It is represented as ƎxP(x)
