One year, many college-bound high school seniors in the U.S. took the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). For the verbal portion of this test, the mean was 425 and the standard deviation was 110. Based on this information what percentage of students would be expected to score between 350 and 550

Answers

Answer 1

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 62.46% of students would be expected to score between 350 and 550.

Normal Probability Distribution

In a normal distribution 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]

It 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, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem, the mean and the standard deviation are respectively, given by: [tex]\mu = 425, \sigma = 110[/tex]

The proportion of students that would be expected to score between 350 and 550 is the p-value of Z when X = 550 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 350, hence:

X = 550:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{550 - 425}{110}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.14[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.14[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8729.

X = 350:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{350 - 425}{110}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.68[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.68[/tex] has a p-value of 0.2483.

0.8729 - 0.2483 = 0.6246

62.46% of students would be expected to score between 350 and 550.

The mass of a substance is 8×10⁹ micrograms. If one microgram is equal to 0.000001 grams, what is the substances mass in grams written in scientific notation?

Answers

Answer:

The mass of the substance is  [tex]\mathit{8\cdot 10^{3}}[/tex] grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific Notation

The mass of a substance is [tex]8\cdot 10^9[/tex] micrograms and one microgram is 0.000001 grams.

This last unit needs to be expressed in scientific notation:

[tex]0.000001 grams = 1\cdot 10^{-6}[/tex]

The mass of the substance in grams is calculated by:

[tex]8\cdot 10^9 * 1\cdot 10^{-6}[/tex]

Multiply the magnitudes and add the exponents:

[tex]8\cdot 10^9 * 1\cdot 10^{-6}=8\cdot 10^{-6+9}=8\cdot 10^{3}[/tex]

The mass of the substance is [tex]\mathbf{8\cdot 10^{3}}[/tex] grams.

A test has been developed to detect a particular type of arthritis in individuals over 50 years old. From a national survey it is known that approximately 10% of the individuals in this age group suffer from this form of arthritis. The proposed test was given to individuals with confirmed arthritics disease, and a correct test result was obtained in 85% of the cases. When the test was administered to individuals of the same age group who were known to be free of the disease, 4% were reported to have the disease. What is the probability that an individual has this disease given that the test indicates its presence

Answers

Answer:

The probability that an individual has this disease given that the test indicates its presence is 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event which indicates Having disease

Let B be the event in which test indicates that disease presence

Now we are given that 10% of the individuals in this age group suffer from this form of arthritis

So, P(A)=0.1

We are also given that the proposed test was given to individuals with confirmed arthritics disease, and a correct test result was obtained in 85% of the cases.

P(B|A)=0.85

Now we are given that. When the test was administered to individuals of the same age group who were known to be free of the disease, 4% were reported to have the disease

So,P(B|A')=0.04

We are supposed to find  the probability that an individual has this disease given that the test indicates its presence i.e. P(A|B)

So we will use Bayes theorem

[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{P(B|A) P(A)}{\sum P(B|A) P(A)}[/tex]

[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{0.85 \times 0.1}{0.85 \times 0.1+0.85 \times 0.9}=0.1[/tex]

Hence the probability that an individual has this disease given that the test indicates its presence is 0.1

Rectangle a measures 9 inches by 3 inches. Rectangle b is a scaled copy of rectangle a .select a set of measurement pairs that could be the dimensions of of rectangle b

Answers

Answer:

Dimensions of Rectangle B will be 9x inches by 3x inches where x is a scaling factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scaled Copy: It means that the rectangle A is related to rectangle B by some scaling (multiplying) factor x.

As we are given Dimensions of rectangle A =  9 inches by 3 inches

Then for any scaling factor x the dimensions of rectangle B will be:

Dimensions of Rectangle B = x * ( Dimensions of rectangle A)

Dimension of rectangle B = x * (9 inches by 3 inches)

Dimensions of rectangle B = 9x inches by 3x inches

For more understanding let we assume that rectangle B is scaled copy of rectangle A by scaling factor x=3; then we will have the dimensions of rectangle B as under:

For scaling factor (x) = 3;

Dimensions of Rectangle B = x * ( Dimensions of rectangle A)

Dimensions of rectangle B = 3 (9 inches by 3 inches)

Dimensions of rectangle B = 27 inches by 9 inches

On the other hand for scaling factor x=0.75, the dimensions of rectangle B will become as under;

Dimensions of Rectangle B = x * ( Dimensions of rectangle A)

Dimensions of rectangle B = 0.75 (9 inches by 3 inches)

Dimensions of rectangle B = 6.75 inches by 2.25 inches

Problem 1

Answer:  Choice B) x = -2

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

Explanation:

Add the equations straight down.

The x terms add to 5x+(-3x) = 2x

The y terms cancel out since 3y+(-3y) = 0y = 0

The right hand sides add to -7+3 = -3

After adding the equations you should get 2x = -4 which solves to x = -2

=====================================================

Problem 2

Answer:  y = 4

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

Explanation:

Since 5x = 0, this means x = 0 after dividing both sides by 5.

Use this to find y

y = -4x+4

y = -4(0)+4

y = 4

If you want the value of z, then

x = -3y+z+6

0 = -3(4)+z+6

0 = z-6

6 = z

z = 6

Use the labled point to write a point slope form for the line

Answers

Answer:

The point-slope form of the line is y - 3 = -2(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line is

y - y1 = m(x - x1), where

(x1, y1) is a point on the linem is the slope of the line

The rule of the slope is [tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex] , where

(x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.

Let us use these rules to solve the question

∵ (-2, 3) and (0, -1) are two points on the line

x1 = -2 and y1 = 3

∴ x2 = 0 and y2 = -1

→ Substitute them in the rule of the slope to find it

∵ m = [tex]\frac{-1-3}{0--2}=\frac{-4}{0+2}=\frac{-4}{2}=-2[/tex]

m = -2

→ Substitute the value of m and point (-2, 3) in the form of the

   equation above

∵ m = -2 and (x1, y1) = (-2, 3)

∴ y - 3 = -2(x - -2)

→ Remember (-)(-) = (+)

∴ y - 3 = -2(x + 2)

The point-slope form of the line is y - 3 = -2(x + 2)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Explaining the Basic Concept:

This is a piecewise function, which means that it is made up of several different functions which all have different domains

In this question, we have 3 'pieces' in our piecewise function

the domain of each piece is:

1.   x < -1

2.  -1 ≤ x ≤ 2

3.  x > 2

we will use the function related with the respective domain

Finding the values of the function:

h(-4)

Here, our input value is -4

we notice that -4 is in part of the first domain

therefore, -4 is in the domain of the first function

So, we will use the first function

h(x) = -(x/4) + 2           (for x < -1)

replacing x with -4

h(-4) = -(-4/4) + 2

h(-4) = 1 + 2

h(-4) = 3

h(1):

Here, our input value is 1

we notice that 1 is a part of the second domain

Hence, 1 is in the domain of the second function

So, we will use the second function

h(x) = -(x-1)² + 2            (for -1 ≤ x ≤ 2)

replacing x with 1

h(1) = -(1-1)² + 2

h(1) = -(0)² + 2

h(1) = 2

h(2):

Here, out input value is 2

We notice that 2 is a part of the second domain

Hence, 2 is a part of the domain of the second function

So, we will use the second function

h(x) = -(x-1)² + 2            (for -1 ≤ x ≤ 2)

replacing x with 2

h(2) = -(2-1)² + 2

h(2) = -(1)² + 2

h(2) = - 1 + 2

h(2) = 1

Therefore:

h(-4) = 3

h(1) = 2

h(2) = 1
