On a recent Summative Assessment, the mean score for the Algebra 1 class was 72 and the standard deviation was 7. See the normal

distribution curve below that represents the data and answer the following questions.
If 30 students took the quiz, how many are within 7 points of the mean?

<h3>Answer:  20 </h3>

=====================================================

Reasoning:

The empirical rule says that about 68% of the population is within 1 standard deviation of the mean. This applies to the normal distribution.

The mean in this case is 72 and the standard deviation is 7.

One standard deviation below the mean is 72-7 = 65, while one standard deviation above the center point is 72+7 = 79. This is visually shown as the closest tickmarks to the center 72. Each tickmark represents a unit of standard deviation (eg: 85 is two standard deviations above the mean, since it's 2 tickmarks above 72).

Saying "within 7 points of the mean" therefore is the same as saying "the score is between 65 and 79, inclusive of both endpoints".

So you're teacher is asking how many students got between 65 and 79. As mentioned at the very top, roughly 68% of the population fits this description.

Meaning,

68% of 30 = 0.68*30 = 20.4 = 20 students got a quiz score within seven points of the mean.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

i(x)=12 \times (1+\frac{0.9}{12})^{12x} and growth rate factor is 0.075

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that models the population of iguanas in a reptile garden is given by i(x)=12 \times (1.9)^{x}, where x is the number of years.

Since, i(x)=12 \times (1.9)^{x}

i.e. i(x)=12 \times (1+0.9)^{x}.

Therefore, the monthly growth rate function becomes,

i.e. i(x)=12 \times (1+\frac{0.9}{12})^{x \times 12}.

i.e. i(x)=12 \times (1+\frac{0.9}{12})^{12x}.

Hence, the monthly growth rate is i.e. i(x)=12 \times (1+\frac{0.9}{12})^{12x}.

Also, the growth factor is given by \frac{0.9}{12} = 0.075.

Thus, the growth factor to nearest thousandth place is 0.075.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a) P=0.0225

b) P=0.057375

Step-by-step explanation:

From exercise we have that  15​% of items produced are defective, we conclude that  probabiity:

P=15/100

P=0.15

a)  We calculate the probabiity  that two items are​ defective:

P= 0.15 · 0.15

P=0.0225

b)  We calculate the probabiity  that  two  of  three items are​ defective:

P={3}_C_{2} · 0.85 · 0.15 · 0.15

P=\frac{3!}{2!(3-2)!} · 0.019125

P=3 · 0.019125

P=0.057375

Which mathematical statement matches the vector operation shown in the geometric representation?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

First Option v+w = u

Step-by-step explanation:

To graphically add two vectors a and b using the -tail and tip-method, you must draw the tail of b at the tip of the vector a. Then you must draw a line that goes from the tail of a to the tip of b. This line represents the sum of a + b.

In this problem, notice that the tail of the vector w is on the tip of the vector v. The line that joins the tail of v with the tip of w is u.

Therefore we can say that v + w = u.

The answer is the first option
