The College Board originally scaled SAT scores so that the scores for each section were approximately normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. Assuming scores follow a bell-shaped distribution, use the empirical rule to find the percentage of students who scored greater than 700.
a. 95%.b. 2.5%.c. 5%.d. 97.5%.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the Empirical Rule, the percentage of students who scored greater than 700 is:

b. 2.5%

What does the Empirical Rule state?

It states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of  the mean.Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

700 is two standard deviations above the mean. 5% of the measures are more than two standard deviations of the mean. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, 2.5% of these measures are below 300 and 2.5% are above 700, hence option B is correct.

Answer:

  a. set 1: 29 minutes; set 2: 25 minutes

  b. set 1 is more challenging than set 2

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The mean is found by adding the times and dividing by the number of times. For set 1, that is ...

  (2×27 +2×28 +3×29 +2×30 +33)/10 = 290/10 = 29 . . . minutes

Given P(A) = 0.3, P(B) 0.63 and P(BA) = 0.79, find the value of
P(A and B), rounding to the nearest thousandth, if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

P(A and B) = 0.14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Venn probabilities:

Suppose we have two events, A and B. The probability P(A and B) is given by:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cup B)[/tex]

In which [tex]P(A \cup B)[/tex] is P(A or B).

In this question:

P(A) = 0.3, P(B) = 0.63, P(A or B) = 0.79. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cup B) = 0.3 + 0.63 - 0.79 = 0.93 - 0.79 = 0.14[/tex]

So

P(A and B) = 0.14.

The values of y generally increase as the values of x increase--with only one exception. This tells you the correlation coefficient is positive and fairly high. Of the two positive choices 0.901 and 0.949, the higher one is the better guess.

A town recently dismissed 88 employees in order to meet their new budget reductions. The town had 77 employees over 5050 years of age and 1717 under 5050. If the dismissed employees were selected at random, what is the probability that at least 66 employees were over 5050? Express your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

0.0013 probability that at least 6 employees were over 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The employees were "chosen" to be dismissed without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

In which:

x is the number of sucesses.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

In this problem:

8 employees dismissed means that [tex]n = 8[/tex]

Had 7 + 17 = 24 employees, which means that [tex]N = 24[/tex]

7 over 50, which means that [tex]k = 7[/tex]

What is the probability that at least 6 employees were over 50?

6 or 7, so:

[tex]P(X \geq 6) = P(X = 6) + P(X = 7)[/tex].

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = h(6,24,8,7) = \frac{C_{7,6}*C_{17,2}}{C_{24,8}} = 0.0013[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 7) = h(7,24,8,7) = \frac{C_{7,7}*C_{17,1}}{C_{24,8}} \approx 0[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 6) = P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) = 0.0013 + 0 = 0.0013[/tex]

0.0013 probability that at least 6 employees were over 50.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

July and August are 2 of the 12 months in the year. The growth for the year can be expected to be 6 times the growth in a 2-month period, so 60 cm.

_____

You could get down to particulars as to the number of days in those two months versus the total number of days in a year. You would have to specify whether it is a leap year. In a non-leap year, the growth might be ...

  365/(31+31) × 10 cm ≈ 58.9 cm

In a leap year, it would be 59.0 cm.

D. $7,346

Answers

Answer:

Future value of land = 25,000[1.04]³⁰

Future value of land = $81,084 (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Purchase cost of land in 1970 = $25,000

Application rate = 4% per year

Find:

Price of land in 2000

Computation:

Number of year = 2000 - 1970 = 30 year

Future value of land = [Purchase cost of land][1+Application rate]ⁿ

F = P[1+r]ⁿ

Future value of land = 25,000[1+4%]³⁰

Future value of land = 25,000[1+0.04]³⁰

Future value of land = 25,000[1.04]³⁰

Future value of land = 25,000[3.24339]

Future value of land = 81,084.75

Future value of land = $81,084 (Approx.)

A cupcake recipe takes 3 cups of flour for every 2 dozen cupcakes. How many cups of flour does Sally need to make 96 cupcakes? Use the table to help.​

Answers

Answer: 12 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

12 cups of flour 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 because I have to make 96 cupcakes for tomorrow.

The amount of flour required will be 8 x 1.5 = 12 cups of flour. Option A is correct.

What is the Ratio?

The ratio can be defined as the comparison of the fraction of one quantity towards others. e.g.- water in milk.

To make 2 dozen cupcakes, the recipe requires 3 cups of flour. Therefore, for 1 dozen cupcakes, the recipe requires 1.5 cups of flour (since 2 dozen cupcakes = 2 x 1.5 = 3 cups of flour).

To make 96 cupcakes, Sally needs 8 dozen cupcakes (since 8 x 12 = 96). Therefore, the amount of flour required will be 8 x 1.5 = 12 cups of flour.

So, the answer is 12 cups of flour, and the explanation should be:

To make 2 dozen cupcakes, the recipe requires 3 cups of flour. Therefore, for 1 dozen cupcakes, the recipe requires 1.5 cups of flour. To make 96 cupcakes, Sally needs 8 dozen cupcakes.

Therefore, the amount of flour required will be 8 x 1.5 = 12 cups of flour.

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle given is an isosceles triangle because it has two equal sides. By implication, the two base angles that are opposite the two equal sides are equal to each other.

Therefore,

80° + 2(m<2) = 180° (sum of triangle theorem)

80 + 2(5x + 5) = 180

80 + 10x + 10 = 180

Add like terms

90 + 10x = 180

90 + 10x - 90 = 180 - 90 (substraction property of equality)

10x = 90

10x/10 = 90/10 (division property of equality)

x = 9
