A study was designed to investigate the effects of two variables​(1) a​ student's level of mathematical anxiety and​ (2) teachin

g methodon a​ student's achievement in a mathematics course. Students who had a low level of mathematical anxiety were taught using the traditional expository method. These students obtained a mean score of 440 with a standard deviation of on a standardized test. Assuming no information concerning the shape of the distribution is​ known, what percentage of the students scored between 360 and 520 ​?

Using Chebyshev's Theorem, considering a standard deviation of 40, we have that at least 75% of the students scored between 360 and 520.

<h3>What does Chebyshev’s Theorem state?</h3>

When we have no information about the population distribution, Chebyshev's Theorem is used. It states that:

  • At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
  • At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
  • An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by 100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}}).

In this problem, considering a standard deviation of 40, we have that:

440 - 2 x 40 = 360.

440 + 2 x 30 = 520.

Within 2 standard deviations of the mean, no information about the distribution, hence, at least 75% of the students scored between 360 and 520.

4. Two savings accounts each start with a $200 principal and have an interest rate of 5%. One account earns simple interest and
slega [8]

Answer:

The compounded annually account will earn more interest over 10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of the simple interest is I = Prt, where

  • P is the original value
  • r is the rate in decimal
  • t is the time

The rule of the compounded interest is A = P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}, where

  • A is the new value
  • P is the original value
  • r is the rate in decimal
  • n is the number of periods
  • t is the time

The interest I = A - P

∵ Each account start with $200

∴ P = 200

∵ They have an interest rate of 5%

∴ r = 5% = 5 ÷ 100 = 0.05

∵ One account earns simple interest and the other is compounded  

   annually

∴ n = 1 ⇒ compounded annually

∵ The time is 10 years

∴ t = 10

→ Substitute these values in the two rules above

∵ I = 200(0.05)(10)

∴ I = 100

∴ The simple interest = $100

∵ I = A - P

∵ A = 200(1+\frac{0.05}{1})^{1(10)}

∴ A = 325.7789254

∵ I = 325.7789254 - 200

∴ I = 125.7789254

∴ The compounded interest = $125.7789254

∵ The simple interest is $100

∵ The compounded interest is $125.7789254

∵ $125.7789254 > $100

∴ The compounded annually account will earn more interest

   over 10 years

Write the equation of the line that has a slope of -2 and goes through the point (-3,4).
liubo4ka [24]

<u>SOLUTION:</u>

General Equation: y = mx + b

.

Substitute slope = -2 into the equation:

y = -2x + b

.

Find the y-intercept:

4 = -2(-3) + b

4 = 6 + b

b = -2

.

Substitute b = -2 into the equation:

y = -2x - 2

.

Answer: y = -2x - 2

If sin 21 = cos (5x+9) what is the value of x
n200080 [17]

sin x = cos 54 = sin (90-54) = sin 46

Hence x = 46 deg

Same technique. Sin 21 = cos (5x+9) = sin (90-5x-9)

81-5x = 21

Or 5x = 60

Or x = 12 deg

hope it helps
