In 2003, the average combined SAT score (math and verbal) for college-bound students in the United States was 1026. Suppose that

approximately 45% of all high school graduates took this test and that 100 high school graduates are randomly selected from among all high school grads in the United States. Which of the following random variables has a distribution that can be approximated by a binomial distribution? Whenever possible, give the values for n and p.
a. The number of students who took the SAT
b. The scores of the 100 students in the sample
c. The number of students in the sample who scored above average on the SAT
d. The amount of time required by each student to complete the SAT
e. The number of female high school grads in the sample

Answer:

The random variables which has a distribution that can be approximated by a binomial distribution is:

c. The number of students in the sample who scored above average on the SAT.

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial distribution in this scenario will be between the number of students in the sample who scored below average on the SAT and the number of students who scored above average.  Variables that have a binomial distribution must meet these four conditions:

1: The observed number of students who sat for the SAT 'n' is not variable.  

2: Each student's score (observation) is purely independent of each other, either above or below average scores.  

3: Each student's score (observation) shows one of the two outcomes ("success" or "failure").  Those below average are "failures."  Those above average are "successes."

4: The outcome probability of "success" 'p' for each student is the same.

Express in the simplest form 777:147​
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

your answer should be 37:7

Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCF of 777 and 147 is 21

Divide both terms by the GCF, 21:

777 ÷ 21 = 37

147 ÷ 21 = 7

The ratio 777 : 147 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 21 :

777 : 147 = 37 : 7

Therefore:

777 : 147 = 37 : 7

Answer: Anything between 0 and 10, excluding both endpoints.

In terms of symbols we can say 0 < w < 10 where w is the width.

===================================================

Explanation:

You could do this with two variables, but I think it's easier to instead use one variable only. This is because the length is dependent on what you pick for the width.

w = width

2w = twice the width

2w-5 = five less than twice the width = length

So,

  • width = w
  • length = 2w-5

which lead to

area = length*width

area = (2w-5)*w

area = 2w^2-5w

area < 150

2w^2 - 5w < 150

2w^2 - 5w - 150 < 0

To solve this inequality, we will solve the equation 2w^2-5w-150 = 0

Use the quadratic formula. Plug in a = 2, b = -5, c = -150

w = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\w = \frac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(-150)}}{2(2)}\\\\w = \frac{5\pm\sqrt{1225}}{4}\\\\w = \frac{5\pm35}{4}\\\\w = \frac{5+35}{4} \ \text{ or } \ w = \frac{5-35}{4}\\\\w = \frac{40}{4} \ \text{ or } \ w = \frac{-30}{4}\\\\w = 10 \ \text{ or } \ w = -7.5\\\\

Ignore the negative solution as it makes no sense to have a negative width.

The only practical root is w = 10.

If w = 10 feet, then the area = 2w^2-5w results in 150 square feet.

----------------------

Based on that root, we need to try a sample value that is to the left of it.

Let's say we try w = 5.

2w^2 - 5w < 150

2*5^2 - 5*5 < 150

25 < 150 ... which is true

This shows that if 0 < w < 10, then 2w^2-5w < 150 is true.

Now try something to the right of 10. I'll pick w = 15

2w^2 - 5w < 150

2*15^2 - 5*15 < 150

375 < 150 ... which is false

It means w > 10 leads to 2w^2-5w < 150  being false.

Therefore w > 10 isn't allowed if we want 2w^2-5w < 150 to be true.

Two bonds are available on the market as follows:
erastova [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

P represents the principal or initial amount invested.

R represents the interest rate.

T represents duration of the investment in years

From the information given,

P = $750

R = 5%

T = y years

I = the total return of Bond 1 - principal

I = 1000 - 750 = $250

Therefore,

250 = (750 × 5 × y)/100

250 = 37.5y

y = 250/37.5

y = 6.7 years

Pls help
boyakko [2]

Answer:

4. C) (3, -2)

3. B) 9,6 = the number of points you would increase each hour of studying; 65,8 = your score if you studied 0 hours

2. B) The events have a strong positive linear correlation.

1. C) Find the slope using the slope formula:

\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Step-by-step explanation:

4. (−7, 10) → 10 = 7 + 3 ☑

(−1, 4) → 4 = 1 + 3 ☑

(0, 3) → 3 = 0 + 3 ☑

(3, −2) → −2 ≠ −3 + 3; 0 ☒

3. You obviously have to plug "0" in for x to get your initial value of 65,8, which represents the minimum value of points you would receive if you never were to study, and of course, the 9,6 is the average score increased for every hour studied.

2. The correlation coefficient is 0,02, which is positive, so this would be the obvious choice.

1. You CANNOT write a linear equation without FIRST finding the rate of change [slope]. You will ALWAYS need the rate of change in order to write any linear equation.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
