Composite scores on the ACT are normally distributed with a mean of 21 and a standard deviation of 5. find the Z score for a student that gets a 31

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Z = 2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 21 and a standard deviation of 5.

This means that [tex]\mu = 21, \sigma = 5[/tex]

Find the Z score for a student that gets a 31

This is Z when X = 31. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{31 - 21}{5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex]

Are the polynomial functions even or odd ?

Answers

If you mirror the graph along the x axis and it lies on itself ( mirror image) it is even, if not it is odd.

If you mirror the top graph the high/ low points would be opposite so the top graph is odd

The bottoms graph can be mirrored so the bottom graph is even.

Find the volume of the three dimensional figure in terms of x

Answers

Answer:

[tex]V=6x^3+3x^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given figure shows a cuboid whose length is (2x+1) breadth is x and height is 3x.

We need to find the volume of the three dimensional figure.

The volume of a cuboid is given by :

V = lbh

Substitute all the values,

[tex]V=(2x+1)\times x\times 3x\\\\V=(2x+1)\times 3x^2\\\\= 3x^2(2x)+3x^2\\\\V=6x^3+3x^2[/tex]

So, the volume of the figure is equal to [tex]6x^3+3x^2[/tex].

x + 14 = 5x - 74 (corresponding angles are equal to each other)

[tex]x + 14 = 5x - 74 \\ 14 + 74 = 5x - x \\ 88 = 4x \\ \frac{88}{4} = x \\ 22 = x[/tex]

Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles x + 14 and 5x - 74 are adjacent angles.

Adjacent angles are equal.

5x - 74 = x + 14

5x - x = 14 + 74

4x = 88

x = 88 / 4

x = 22

the width of a rectangular yard is 3 yards more than twice its length. the perimeter of the garden is 192 yards

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

W = 2L + 3, and:

P = 2W + 2L = 192

Substituting 2L + 3 for W, we get:

P = 2(2L + 3) + 2L = 192, or

4L + 6 + 2L = 192, or:

6L = 186

L = 186/6 = 31

The length is 31, the width is 62 + 3, or 65

Therefore, the perimeter P is P = 2(31) + 2(65) = 130 + 62  = 192 (OK!)

A farmer wants to know the effect of using various amounts of fertilizer in relation to the yield of his crops. He subdivided a portion of his land into 10 separate, but essentially equal, plots. He divided the land so that all of the plots had equal exposure to sun, rain, and other environmental conditions. He randomly selected 2 of the 10 plots and spread 2 pounds of fertilizer over each of them. Then he randomly selected 2 of the remaining plots and spread 3 pounds of fertilizer over each of them. He continued with the last sets of plots in the same manner, spreading 4, then 5, then 6 pounds of fertilizer over each of them. Below is a computer output for linear regression of amount of fertilizer versus yield for the 10 plots of land.

Predictor Coef SE Coef T P

Answers

Answer:

Y = 10.1 + 1.50x

Step-by-step explanation:

From the data contained in the computer output for linear regression

The coefficient of intercept = 10.1

coefficient of fertilizer = 1.50

Sample of an Equation of least squares regression line

y = a + bx

where : a = intercept , b = slope

hence the required equation will be

Y = 10.1 + 1.50x

y = yield , x = fertilizer

The variable y is directly proportional to the variable x. If y = 12 when x = 14, what is the value of x when y = 747

Answers

Answer:

871.5

Step-by-step explanation:

directly proportional

y = kx

y = 12 when x = 14

12 = k(14)

k = 12/14

k = 6/7

--------------------------

what is the value of x when y = 747

747 = (6/7) * x

Multiply both sides by 7/6

747 * 7/6 = x

871.5 = x

A study is done to find the 95% confidence interval for the difference in means between the ACT scores between two schools in a given city. One school had a random sample of 39 students had a sample mean of 25.90 with a sample standard deviation of 3.49. The second school had a random sample of 37 students had a sample mean 27.70 with a sample standard deviation of 2.47. What is the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval for the difference in means

Answers

Solution :

95% confidence interval for the difference between the means of ACT scores between two schools, is given by :

[tex]$[(\overline X_1 - \overline X_2)-ME, (\overline X_1 - \overline X_2)+ME]$[/tex]

[tex]$\overline X_1 = 25.90 , \ \ \ \overline X_2 = 27.70$[/tex]

[tex]$S_1=3.49, \ \ \ S_2 = 2.47$[/tex]

[tex]$n_1=39, \ \ n_2=37$[/tex]

M.E. , Margin of error,

[tex]$=t_{n_1+n_2-2,0.025} \times \left( s \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2}}$[/tex]

[tex]$s^2 = \frac{(n_1-1)S_1^2+(n_2-1)S^2_2}{n_1+n_2-2}$[/tex]

  [tex]$=\frac{38(3.49)^2+36(2.47)^2}{39+37-2}$[/tex]

 = 9.222

s = 3.03

[tex]$t_{74,0.05} = 1.99$[/tex]

[tex]$M.E. = 1.99 \times 3.03 \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{39}+\frac{1}{37}}$[/tex]

        = 1.4

Therefore, 95% CI = [(25.90-27.70) - 1.4 , (25.90-27.70) + 1.4]

                              = [-3.2, -0.4]

Therefore, the lower bound is -3.2

If a/b=6, b/x=36, and a=36, what is the value of 1/x?

A) 1/2
B) 2
C) 3/2
D) 4
E) 6​

Answers

Answer:

E) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

a/b = 6

36/b = 6

6b = 36

b = 36/6 = 6

b/x = 36

6/x = 36

36x = 6

x = 6/36 = 1/6

hence 1/x = 6

Answer:

E) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

a/b=6, b/x=36, and a=36

=>a = 6b

36 = 6b => b =6

b/x = 36 => x = b/36 = 6/36

so, 1/x = 36/6 = 6
