We know that the probability density function of a variable that is normally distributed is f(x) = 1/(σ√2π) * exp[1/2 (x – µ). Its inflection point is the point where f"(x) = 0.
Taking the first derivative, we get f'(x) = –(x–µ)/(σ³/√2π) exp[–(x–µ)²/(2σ²)] = –(x–µ) f(x)/σ².
The second derivative would be f"(x) = [ –(x–µ) f(x)/σ]' = –f(x)/σ² – (x–µ) f'(x)/σ² = –f(x)/σ² + (x-µ)² f(x)/σ⁴.
Setting this expression equal to zero, we get
–f(x)/σ² + (x-µ)² f(x)/σ⁴ = 0
Multiply both sides by σ⁴/f(x):
–σ² + (x-µ)² = 0
(x-µ)² = σ²
x-µ= + – σ
x = µ +– σ
So the answers are x = µ – σ and x = µ + σ.

Anastasy [175]

Answer

The median is 83

Step-by-step explanation:

You must put the scores in order to find median.

48, 58, 65, 71, 77, 80, 83, 88, 92, 92, 93, 96, 97

Then you find the number that is in the exact middle of the list.

In this case the median (middle number) is 83

aleksandrvk [35]
I believe that they typo meant 300 fossils of which 21% are snail shells.

Since % means per one hundred...

300(21/100)=63

Elmer has 63 fossilized snail shells.
