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.

Solving the whole thing
erik [133]
Let
x---------------> distance from people living to the city center

we Know that
Zone 1 covers people living within three miles of the city center
Zone 1 ------------> [x < 3 miles]

Zone 2 covers those between three and seven miles from the center
Zone 2 ------------> [ 3 <= x < = 7  miles]

Zone 3 covers those over seven miles from the center
Zone 3 ------------> [  x > 7  miles]

<span>calculate the distance between two points to find the value of x
</span>
case A) point (0,0)  point (3,4)
x=√[(y2-y1)² +(x2-x1)²]----------> √[(4-0)² +(3-0)²]------> √[16+9]
x=√25-------------> x=5 miles

the answer Part A)
people living in (3,4)
x=5 miles -------------> covers Zone 2 [ 3 < =x <= 7  miles]


case B) point (0,0)  point (6,5)
x=√[(y2-y1)² +(x2-x1)²]----------> √[(5-0)² +(6-0)²]------> √[25+36]
x=√61-------------> x=7.81 miles

the answer Part B)
people living in (6,5) 
x=7.81 miles -------------> covers Zone 3 [  x > 7  miles]

case C) point (0,0)  point (1,2)
x=√[(y2-y1)² +(x2-x1)²]----------> √[(2-0)² +(1-0)²]------> √[4+1]
x=√5-------------> x=2.23 miles

the answer Part C)
people living in (1,2) 
x=2.23 miles -------------> covers Zone 1 [ x < 3  miles]

case D) point (0,0)  point (0,3)
x=√[(y2-y1)² +(x2-x1)²]----------> √[(3-0)² +(0-0)²]------> √[9]
x=√9-------------> x=3 miles

the answer Part D)
people living in (0,3) 
x=3 miles -------------> covers Zone 2 [ 3 < =x <= 7  miles]

case E) point (0,0)  point (1,6)
x=√[(y2-y1)² +(x2-x1)²]----------> √[(6-0)² +(1-0)²]------> √[36+1]
x=√37-------------> x=6.08 miles

the answer Part E)
people living in (1,6) 
x=6.08 miles -------------> covers Zone 2 [ 3 < = x <= 7  miles]
