Raw scores on behavioral tests are often transformed for easier comparison. A test of reading ability has mean 67 and standard d

eviation 10 when given to third graders. Sixth graders have mean score 86 and standard deviation 9 on the same test. To provide separate "norms" for each grade, we want scores in each grade to have mean 100 and standard deviation 20. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
(a) What linear transformation will change third-grade scores x into new scores xnew = a + bx that have the desired mean and standard deviation? (Use b > 0 to preserve the order of the scores.) a = b = (b)
Do the same for the sixth-grade scores.
a =
b =
(c) David is a third-grade student who scores 79 on the test. Find David's transformed score.

Who scores higher within his or her grade? Nancy or David

Answer:

a.) a = -34 and b = 2

b.) a = -91.11 b = 2.22

c.) David scored 124, nancy scored 84.27

David scored higher

Step-by-step explanation:

for those in the 3rd grade

mean u = 67

s = 10

we used the z formula

z=\frac{x-u}{s}

z=\frac{x-67}{10}

we have the new score

u = 100

s = 20

we use this formula z*s+u

[\frac{x-67}{10} ]20\\ + 100

multiply through by 20

[\frac{20x-1340}{10} ] +100

dividing the bracket by 10

= 2x-134+100

= 2x-34

from this solution above,

a = -34 and b = 2

b.)

we solve for those in the 6th grade

u = 86

s = 9

\frac{x-86}{9}

for new score,

y = 100

s = 20

[\frac{x-86}{9} ]20+100

2.22x-191.11+100\\= 2.22x - 91.11

from this solution

a = -91.11

b = 2.22

c.) if David scored 79

= 2(x)-34

= 2(79) - 34

= 158 - 34

= 124

if nancy scored 79

= 2.22(79) - 91.11

= 175.38 - 91.11

= 84.27

from these scores we can see that David scored higher in his grade

Serjik [45]

500 guitar picks

order 15 boxes with 9 picks each

sell 19 boxes with 10 picks each

-> the store ordered about 150 picks (15 x 9 -> 15 x 10)

-> the store sold about 200 picks (19 x 10 -> 20 x 10)

it is reasonable, since they have 50 fewer picks which is about 450.

(second option)

A piggy bank of coins has quarters and dimes totaling $2.90. If there are 8 more dimes than quarters, how many of each coin is i
xenn [34]

Answer:

12 dimes and 4 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quarter is 25 cents and a dime is 10 cents then:

There are at least 8 dimes, so we have at least 80 cents

And we know there is only 8 more dimes than quarters so the ratio 12 dimes: 4 quarters tells us that this expression is correct

Given the graph of a scatterplot and a trend line, explain how you would find the equation of the trend line.
SpyIntel [72]

To find the equation of a trend line, It is important to find the X axis and Y axis, Once x axis and y axis  is found if there is an association between x axis and y axis, We use linear equation to produce the trend line. Linear regression or algorithm called as OLS (Ordinary least square). Y= mx +c

y = dependent variable, x = independent variable , constant = c , m  = y2-y1/x2-x1.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Scatter plot is to find association of two different variable.
  • Trend line is the equation between xaxis and y axis.
  • Prediction is best way to form equation.
  • Linear regression y=mx +c
  • Equation helps in predictive modelling between next best form.
  • Y is a dependent variable or example sales.
  • X can be n number of variable involved in the association rule.
  • Linear regression is starting phase of data analysis.
  • C = constant there is a certain point, where system has been started.
  • Stock market did not start from 0 it started at a certain point.
