The standardized probability of a normally distributed data is given by
P(X < x) = P(z < (x - mean) / standard deviation)
P(X > x) = 1 - P(X < x)
P(X > 125) = 1 - P(X < 125) = 1 - P(z < (125 - 100) / 15) = 1 - P(z < 25/15) = 1 - P(z < 1.667) = 1 - 0.95221 = 0.04779 = 4.8%

Though it cannot be said to be usual, at the same time it is not unusual because 125 is above the first standard deviation of the mean but below the second standard deviation of the mean.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer with explanation:

A x% confidence interval interprets the percentage of certainty that a person can believe that the true population parameter.

It is also represented as Point estimate ± Margin of error

Confidence level is proportional to the Margin of error.

  • As confidence level increases the error bound increases that makes the confidence interval broader.
  • As confidence level decreases the error bound decreases , making the confidence interval narrower.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For each problem you need to make sure that the angles are the same.

So x + 22 = 90

x = 90 -22 = 68 degree

For the second problem

7x + 10 = 8x

10 = 8x -7x

x = 10 degree
