The College Boards, which are administered each year to many thousands of high school students, are scored so as to yield a mean

of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. These scores are close to being normally distributed. What percentage of the scores can be expected to satisfy each condition? a. Greater than 600 b. Greater than 700 c. Less than 450 d. Between 450 and 600

Answer:

a) 15.87% of the scores are expected to be greater than 600.

b) 2.28% of the scores are expected to be greater than 700.

c) 30.85% of the scores are expected to be less than 450.

d) 53.28% of the scores are expected to be between 450 and 600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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 problem, we have that:

\mu = 500, \sigma = 100

a. Greater than 600

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 600. So

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

Z = \frac{600 - 500}{100}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a pvalue of 0.8413.

1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587

15.87% of the scores are expected to be greater than 600.

b. Greater than 700

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 700. So

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

Z = \frac{700 - 500}{100}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

2.28% of the scores are expected to be greater than 700.

c. Less than 450

Pvalue of Z when X = 450. So

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

Z = \frac{450 - 500}{100}

Z = -0.5

Z = -0.5 has a pvalue of 0.3085.

30.85% of the scores are expected to be less than 450.

d. Between 450 and 600

pvalue of Z when X = 600 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 450. So

X = 600

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

Z = \frac{600 - 500}{100}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a pvalue of 0.8413.

X = 450

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

Z = \frac{450 - 500}{100}

Z = -0.5

Z = -0.5 has a pvalue of 0.3085.

0.8413 - 0.3085 = 0.5328

53.28% of the scores are expected to be between 450 and 600.

The first term is 8 Each term is 4 more than double the previous term.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

8*2^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric sequence since we multiply from the previous term.

a_n = a_1 * common ratio^(n-1) where a_n is the nth number and a_1 is the first.

The first term is 8, so we have

a_n = 8*<common ratio>^(n-1) = 8*2^(n-1)

3. 100x2-36y2 ??<br> ito pa guys pleasedddd!!
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

4(5x - 3y)(5x + 3y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you require the expression factored.

Given

100x² - 36y² ← factor out 4 from each term

= 4(25x² - 9y²) ← is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b) , thus

25x² - 9y²

= (5x)² - (3y)² ← with a = 5x and b = 3y

= (5x - 3y)(5x + 3y)

Thus

100x² - 36y² = 4(5x - 3y)(5x + 3y) ← in factored form

Inequality:

- Domain is: x ∈ <em>R</em>

- Range is: x ≥ -2

Set:

-Domain is: {x| x ∈ <em>R</em>}

- Range is: {y| y ≥ -2}

Interval:

- Domain is: (-∞,∞)

- Range is: [-2, ∞)

Suppose that 95% of the fasteners pass the initial inspection. Of those that fail the initial inspection, 20% are defective. Of
hichkok12 [17]

Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the fasteners

95% of x passed, and 5% of x failed

20% of the 5% which failed are defective, remaining the 80% of the failed 5%.

Now 40% of this 80% of the 5% which failed are scrapped, meaning only the remaining 60% passed second inspection.

Thus

a). The proportion ;

60% of 80% of 5% of x

mathematically

= 60/100 × 80/100 × 5/100

= 0.024 or 2.4%

b) initially 95% passed and later on 2.4% pass again. Therefore total that passed = 95%+2.4%=97.4%

c) probability that it passed on first inspection is 95/100

Percentage that went through recrimping = 80% of 5% = 80/100 × 5/100 = 1/25 or 0.04 or 4%

Thus probability of passing and not going through recrimping

= 1 - (1/25) = 0.96 or 96%
