Answer:

y = - 1/5x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x+4. Slope: 5

Slope of the perpendicular line: -1/5

(5,-8)

y - - 8 = - 1/5 (x - 5)

y+8 = -1/5x + 1

y = - 1/5x +1-8

y = - 1/5 x - 7

Mathematics achievement test scores for 300 students were found to have a mean and a variance equal to 600 and 3600, respectivel

Zina [86]

Answer:

(a) Approximately 205 students scored between 540 and 660.

(b) Approximately 287 students scored between 480 and 720.

Step-by-step explanation:

A mound-shaped distribution is a normal distribution since the shape of a normal curve is mound-shaped.

Let X = test score of a student.

It is provided that $X\sim N(\mu = 600, \sigma^{2} = 3600)$ .

(a)

The probability of scores between 540 and 660 as follows:

$P(540\leq X\leq 660)=P(\frac{540-600}{\sqrt{3600} }\leq \frac{X-600}{\sqrt{3600} }\leq \frac{660-600}{\sqrt{3600} })\\=P(-1 \leq Z\leq 1)\\= P(Z\leq 1)-P(Z\leq -1)\\=0.8413-0.1587\\=0.6826$

Use the standard normal table for the probabilities.

The number of students who scored between 540 and 660 is:

300 × 0.6826 = 204.78 ≈ 205

Thus, approximately 205 students scored between 540 and 660.

(b)

The probability of scores between 480 and 720 as follows:

$P(480\leq X\leq 720)=P(\frac{480-600}{\sqrt{3600} }\leq \frac{X-600}{\sqrt{3600} }\leq \frac{720-600}{\sqrt{3600} })\\=P(-2 \leq Z\leq 2)\\= P(Z\leq 2)-P(Z\leq -2)\\=0.9772-0.0228\\=0.9544$

Use the standard normal table for the probabilities.

The number of students who scored between 480 and 720 is:

300 × 0.9544 = 286.32 ≈ 287

Thus, approximately 287 students scored between 480 and 720.

How is the way the decimals point moves when you divide a decimal number by a power of ten the same as when you multiply? how is

Svetach [21]

Multiplying decimals is the same as multiplying whole numbers except for the placement of the decimal point in the answer. When you multiply decimals, the decimal point is placed in the product so that the number of decimal places in the product is the sum of the decimal places in the factors.
