Scores on a certain intelligence test for children between ages 13 and 15 years are approximately normally distributed with μ=10

1 and σ=24. (a) what proportion of children aged 13 to 15 years old have scores on this test above 83 ? (note: please enter your answer in decimal form. for example, 45.23% should be entered as 0.4523.)

Answer:

a) 0.7734

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 101, \sigma = 24

(a) what proportion of children aged 13 to 15 years old have scores on this test above 83 ?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 83. So

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

Z = \frac{83 - 101}{24}

Z = -0.75

Z = -0.75 has a pvalue of 0.2266

1 - 0.2266 = 0.7734

The answer is 0.7734

Assume the line of best fit for a data set is given by y=22x+32. What data points are predicted by the line of best fit? Check a
malfutka [58]
Hi. You have to do trial and error with each of the choices to see which of those apply. They are points on the given function y=22x+32 that lie on point (x,y). Just substitute the x-and y values to the function.

a. (10,480) => x = 10, y = 480
     y = 480 = 22(10) + 32
     480 = 252 (does not apply)

b. (5,142) => x = 5, y = 142
     y = 142= 22(5) + 32
     142 = 142 (apply)

c. (8,208) => x = 8, y = 208
     y = 208 = 22(8) + 32
     208 = 208 (apply)

d. (7,154) => x = 7, y = 154
     y = 154 = 22(7) + 32
     154 = 186 (does not apply)

The answer is B and C.

2(3x+2)=2x-1+x solve
alina1380 [7]
First multiply and dstribute
a(b+c)=ab+ac
2(3x+2)=6x+4
6x+4=2x-1+x
add like terms
6x+4=3x-1
subtract 3x from both sides
3x+4=-1
subtract 4 from both sides
3x=-5
divide bothe sides by 3
x=-5/3
