To solve for proportion we make use of the z statistic.
The procedure is to solve for the value of the z score and then locate for the
proportion using the standard distribution tables. The formula for z score is:
z = (X – μ) / σ
where X is the sample value, μ is the mean value and σ is
the standard deviation
when X = 70
z1 = (70 – 100) / 15 = -2
Using the standard distribution tables, proportion is P1
= 0.0228
when X = 130
z2 = (130 – 100) /15 = 2
Using the standard distribution tables, proportion is P2
= 0.9772
Therefore the proportion between X of 70 and 130 is:
P (70<X<130) = P2 – P1
P (70<X<130) = 0.9772 - 0.0228
P (70<X<130) = 0.9544
Therefore 0.9544 or 95.44% of the test takers scored
between 70 and 130.
Answer:
2. 92 ounces of Sprite
3. 1/6 do not want mustard on their ham sandwiches
4. 6 hours playing volleyball
5. 32 portions
Step-by-step explanation:
2. Sam has 8 cans of Sprite. Each can is 11 2/4 ounces
We can simplify 2/4 to 1/2
Multiply the number of cans by the ounces per can
8 * 11 1/2
8 * 11.5
92 ounces
3. 1/2 of the students want ham. 1/3 of those do not want mustard
We multiply 1/2*1/3 = 1/6
1/6 of the students do not want mustard on their ham sandwiches
4. 8 hours at the beach. 3/4 of the time was spent playing volleyball
Multiply this together
8*3/4 = 8/4*3 = 2*3 = 6 hours
5. We have 4 lbs of wings. We divide it into 1/8 lbs parts
4 ÷ 1/8
Copy dot flip
4 * 8/1
32 portions
Possible outcomes: 10C4 = 210 ( combinations - we choose 4 of 10 people )
Favorable outcomes: ( 2C1 ) · ( 8C3 ) = 2 · 56 = 112
Probability : 112 / 210 = 0.5333 ( or 53.33 % ).
Answer:
y > x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
y - x > -3
This is an equation of a straight line graph.
Taking x to the right side, we get:
y > -3 + x
Rearranging, we get:
y > x - 3
