Answer:

a) A score of 65 is in the 79.67th percentile.

b) A score less than 70 is below the 95.25th percentile.

c) 20.33% of the scores are greater than 65.

d) 95.25% of scores are less than 70.

e) 45.25% of the scores are between 50 and 60.

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 mean is 60 and the standard deviation is 6.

This means that \mu = 60, \sigma = 6

a. what is the percentile rank of the score 65?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 65.

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

Z = \frac{65 - 60}{6}

Z = 0.83

Z = 0.83 has a p-value of 0.7967.

Thus: A score of 65 is in the 79.67th percentile.

b. what is the percentile of the score less than 70?

Below the p-value of Z when X = 70. So

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

Z = \frac{70 - 60}{6}

Z = 1.67

Z = 1.67 has a p-value of 0.9525.

Thus: A score less than 70 is below the 95.25th percentile.

c. what is percent of the scores is greater than 65?

The proportion is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 65.

From item a, when X = 65, Z has a p-value of 0.7967

1 - 0.7967 = 0.2033

0.2033*100% = 20.33%

20.33% of the scores are greater than 65.

d. what percent of scores is less than 70?

The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 70, which, from item b, is of 0.9525.

0.9525*100% = 95.25%

95.25% of scores are less than 70.

e. what percent of the score is between 50 and 60?

The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 60 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 50.

X = 60

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

Z = \frac{60 - 60}{6}

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a p-value of 0.5.

X = 50

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

Z = \frac{50 - 60}{6}

Z = -1.67

Z = -1.67 has a p-value of 0.0475.

0.5 - 0.0475 = 0.4525

0.4525*100% = 45.25%

45.25% of the scores are between 50 and 60.

Which of the following is not a promotional tactic used by a seller?
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

we conclude that the 'bait and switch' technique is not a promotional tactic used by a seller.

Hence, 'a' is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given options, the 'bait and switch' technique is not a promotional tactic used by a seller.

'Bait and switch' is a deceptive sale practice using which the sells try to attract (bait) the customers by offering attractive prices on certain items, but when the customers tend to go to the shop to buy the items, they witness the unavailability of the goods, or find the prices go higher compared to what they had been offered.

Now, since the customers are already present at the shop, the sellers try to pressurize the customer so that they could buy something else.

Therefore, we conclude that the 'bait and switch' technique is not a promotional tactic used by a seller.

Hence, 'a' is the correct option.
