Select the most accurate statement regarding the normal distribution. Group of answer choices It is always the appropriate distr

ibution in simulation modeling. It does not permit negative values. There is a 95% chance that values will be within ±2 standard deviations of the mean. The user must specify the maximum positive value allowed. It is obtained by the positive and negative square roots of a uniform random variable.

Answer:

There is a 95% chance that values will be within ±2 standard deviations of the mean.

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 Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this question:

According to the empirical rule, 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean. So the correct statement is:

There is a 95% chance that values will be within ±2 standard deviations of the mean.

What is the equation for |3x-4| = |2x+3|?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines stand for absolute value ( how far a number is from 0), so each number should be a positive, then you just solve for x. Isolate x, then divide on both sides, and you should get -x=1, which is equal to x=-1.

David's optometrist sold him a bottle of eyeglass cleaner containing 30 ml of glasscleaning solution. assuming there are 20 drop
Furkat [3]
Each complete cleaning requires 6 drops of cleaner.  Let's convert that to ml:

6 drops     1 ml              3 ml cleaner
----------- * ------------- = ------------------- = 0.3 ml cleaner per cleaning
                 20 drops      10 cleanings

Recall that 1 bottle contains 30 ml cleaning fluid.

How many cleanings is one bottle of fluid good for?

1 bottle       0.3 ml
----------- = -----------   => x = 100 cleanings/bottle
      x            30 ml

A bag contains 10 red marbles, 15 yellow marbles and 5 green marbles. What is the probability of drawing a red or green marble f
Volgvan
Probability = 

             (number of ways it can come out the way you want)
divided by
             (total number of ways it can come out).

Total number of ways to draw a marble = 30 (marbles in the bag).

Number of ways it can succeed = 15 (number of red or green ones)

Probability = 15/30 = 1/2 = 50% .
