Answer:

a. Z = -1.175.

b. Z = 1.34.

c. |Z| = 2.054.

d. |Z| = 1.28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

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.

a. The critical z-score for a left-tailed test at a 12% significance level

Left-tailed test: The region of interest is the 12th percentile or below.

Thus, the critical z-score is Z with a p-value of 0.12, so Z = -1.175.

b. The critical z-score for a right-tailed test at a 9% significance level

Right-tailed test: The region of interest is the 100 - 9 = 91th percentile and above.

Thus, the critical z-score is Z with a p-value of 0.91, so Z = 1.34.

c. The critical z-score for a two-sided test at a 4% significance level is 1.75.

Two-tailed test: The region of interest is between the 4/2 = 2th percentile and the 100 - (4/2) = 98th percentile.

Thus, the critical z-score is |Z| with a p-value of 0.02 or 0.98, so |Z| = 2.054.

d. The critical z-score for a two-sided test at a 20% significance level is 0.85.

Region of interest is between the 20/2 = 10th percentile and the 100 - (20/2) = 90th percentile.

Thus, the critical z-score is |Z| with a p-value of 0.1 or 0.9, so |Z| = 1.28.

The length of a rectangle is 2 cm longer than its width if the perimetier of the rectangle is 44cm, find its area
Natasha2012 [34]
L=w+2 and 2w+2l=44

substitute equation for length in perimeter equation

2w+2(w+2)=44
2w+2w+4=44
4w+4=44
4w=40
w=10

substitute width into length equation to get length

l=10+2
l=12

a=lw
a=12*10
a=120 cm^2
