Answer:

464 students will score between 48 and 75. Using the z-distribution, we measure how many standard deviations each score is from the mean, then find the p-value associated with each score to find the proportion, and from the proportion, we find how many out of 1000.

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.

It assumes the scores are normally distributed with a mean score of 75 and a standard deviation of 15.

This means that \mu = 75, \sigma = 15

How many students will score between 48 and 75?

First we find the proportion, which is the pvalue of Z when X = 75 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 48. So

X = 75

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

Z = \frac{75 - 75}{15}

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a p-value of 0.5

X = 48

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

Z = \frac{48 - 75}{15}

Z = -1.8

Z = -1.8 has a p-value of 0.0359

1 - 0.0359 = 0.4641

Out of 1000:

0.4641*1000 = 464

464 students will score between 48 and 75. Using the z-distribution, we measure how many standard deviations each score is from the mean, then find the p-value associated with each score to find the proportion, and from the proportion, we find how many out of 1000.

I believe the answer is 5 because if however many times you can multiply 2.5 into 12.5, you get the answer of 5.

Solve the following problems. Reduce your answers to their simplest form. a. 13⁄41 + 27⁄82 b. 3 5⁄24 + 6 7⁄24 + 4 9⁄24 c. 5 2⁄3
KATRIN_1 [288]
<span>13⁄41 + 27⁄82 = 26/82 + 27/82 = 53/82

3 5/24 + 6 7/24 + 4 9/24 = 13 20/24 = 13 5/6

</span><span>5 2⁄3 + 29⁄69 + 6 21⁄23 = 5 46/69 + 29/69 + 6 63/69 = 11 138/69 = 13
</span>
<span>3 9⁄10 + 4⁄9 + 7⁄45 + 4 = 3 81/90 + 40/90 + 14/90 + 4 = 7 135/90 = 8 1/2

</span><span>6 – 7⁄15 = 5 15/15 - 7/15 = 5 6/15

</span><span>11 3⁄8 – 7⁄8 = 10 11/8 - 7/8 = 10 4/8 = 10 1/2

</span><span> 7 1⁄6 – 3 4⁄9 = 7 9/54 - 3 18/54 = 6 63/54 - 3 18/54 = 3 45/54 = 3 5/6
</span>
<span>5 3⁄8 – 3 2⁄5 = 5 15/40 - 3 16/40 = 4 55/40 - 3 16/40 = 1 39/40</span>
