The absolute value is basically the distance from zero, and distance is ALWAYS positive. After you removed your negatives, you need to just compare the values. For example. The smallest absolute value between -27 and 19 is 19. Hope this helped!
Population = 135 students
Mean score = 72.3
Standard deviation of the scores = 6.5
Part (a): Students from 2SD and 3SD above the mean
2SD below and above the mean includes 95% of the population while 3SD includes 99.7% of the population.
95% of population = 0.95*135 ≈ 129 students
99.7% of population = 0.997*135 ≈ 135 students
Therefore, number of students from 2SD to 3SD above and below the bean = 135 - 129 = 6 students.
In this regard, Students between 2SD and 3SD above the mean = 6/2 = 3 students
Part (b): Students who scored between 65.8 and 72.3
The first step is to calculate Z values
That is,
Z = (mean-X)/SD
Z at 65.8 = (72.3-65.8)/6.5 = 1
Z at 72.3 = (72.3-72.3)/6.5 = 0
Second step is to find the percentages at the Z values from Z table.
That is,
Percentage of population at Z(65.8) = 0.8413 = 84.13%
Percentage of population at (Z(72.3) = 0.5 = 50%
Third step is to calculate number of students at each percentage.
That is,
At 84.13%, number of students = 0.8413*135 ≈ 114
At 50%, number of students = 0.5*135 ≈ 68
Therefore, students who scored between 65.8 and 72.3 = 114-68 = 46 students
Let x = # of 25-cent stamps
y = # of 2-cent stamps
{ x+ y = 88
{ 0.25x + 0.02y = 15.56
60 25-cent stamps 28 2-cent stamps
Answer:
- Gabe earns 13.5 per hour
x ------------------ 4 ---- 8 --------- 12 ------ 16
Earnings ----- 57 ---- 111 ------- 165------ 219
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8.5 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll use this right triangular prism volume formula: base area x height = volume
base area = ?
length = 10.8
volume = 91.8
base area x 10.8 = 91.8
Divide both sides by 10.8
base area x 10.8/10.8 = 91.8/10.8
base area = 8.5
