The scores for all high school seniors taking the verbal section of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) in a particular year had a mean of 490 and a standard deviation of 100. The distribution of SAT scores is bell-shaped.

What percentage of seniors scored between 390 and 590 on this SAT test?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The value is  [tex]P( 390 < X < 590) = 68.3 \%[/tex]    

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mean is  [tex]\mu = 490[/tex]

    The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 100[/tex]

   

Generally the proportion of seniors scored between 390 and 590 on this SAT test is mathematically represented as

     [tex]P( 390 < X < 590) = P( \frac{390 - 490 }{100} < \frac{\= x - \mu }{\sigma} < \frac{590 - 490 }{ 100} )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma }  =  Z (The  \ standardized \  value\  of  \ X )[/tex]

    [tex]P( 390 < X < 590) = P( -1 < Z < 1 )[/tex]

=>  [tex]P( 390 < X < 590) = P(Z< 1 ) - P(Z < - 1 )[/tex]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  1 and  -1  is  

[tex]P(Z< 1 ) = 0.84134[/tex]

and

[tex]P(Z< - 1 ) = 0.15866[/tex]  

   [tex]P( 390 < X < 590) =0.84134 - 0.15866[/tex]

=> [tex]P( 390 < X < 590) = 0.6827[/tex]

Generally the percentage of seniors scored between 390 and 590 on this SAT test is mathematically represented as

=> [tex]P( 390 < X < 590) = 0.6827 *100[/tex]    

=> [tex]P( 390 < X < 590) = 68.3 \%[/tex]

The product of two positive numbers is 48. the larger number is 13 more than the smaller. Find both numbers [Only an algebraic solution will be accepted.]

Answers

Answer:

Larger number:

16

Smaller number

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Larger number: 16

Smaller number: 3

Explanation:

Suppose the larger number is

a

and the smaller number is

b

.

You solve the following system of equations:

a⋅b=48

a−13=b

Since b is a −13, you can plug that into a⋅b=48, so...a⋅(a−13)=48

a 2−13a=48

a2−13a−48=0

Factor the polynomial:

(a−16)(a+3)=0

a=16 or a=−3a is positive so a=16.

We can now solve for b by plugging in a, so...16−13=b3=b We have a=16 and b=3, meaning that the larger number is 16 and the smaller number is 3.

Answers

Answer:

(x − π)⁷ / 5040

(x − 1)³ / 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Taylor series expansion of a function is:

f(x) = ∑ₙ₌₀°° f⁽ⁿ⁾(x₀) / n! (x − x₀)ⁿ

where f⁽ⁿ⁾(x₀) is the nth derivative evaluated at x₀.

For the first problem, f(x) = sin x and x₀ = π.  We want the seventh degree term, so n = 7.

The seventh degree term is therefore: f⁽⁷⁾(π) / 7! (x − π)⁷

Find the seventh derivative of sin x:

f(x) = sin x

f⁽¹⁾(x) = cos x

f⁽²⁾(x) = -sin x

f⁽³⁾(x) = -cos x

f⁽⁴⁾(x) = sin x

f⁽⁵⁾(x) = cos x

f⁽⁶⁾(x) = -sin x

f⁽⁷⁾(x) = -cos x

Evaluated at π, f⁽⁷⁾(x) = 1.  So the seventh degree term is (x − π)⁷ / 5040.

For the second problem, f(x) = √x and x₀ = 1.  We want the third degree term,  so n = 3.

The third degree term is therefore: f⁽³⁾(1) / 3! (x − 1)³

Find the third derivative of √x:

f(x) = √x

f⁽¹⁾(x) = ½ x^-½

f⁽²⁾(x) = -¼ x^-³/₂

f⁽³⁾(x) = ⅜ x^-⁵/₂

Evaluated at 1, f⁽³⁾(x) = ⅜.  So the third degree term is (x − 1)³ / 16.

What is the probability that a random sample of 17 pregnancies has a mean gestation period within 9 days of the mean?( length of pregnancies of a certain animal are approximately normally distributed with mean of 295 days and standard deviation of 15 days)​

Answers

Answer:

0.9864

Step-by-step explanation:

The average sample mean is 295, and the standard deviation is:

σ = 15 / √17

σ = 3.64

The z-scores are:

z = (x − μ) / σ

z₁ = (-9) / 3.64

z₁ = -2.47

z₂ = (9) / 3.64

z₂ = 2.47

So the probability is:

P(-2.47 < Z < 2.47) = P(Z < 2.47) − P(Z < -2.47)

P(-2.47 < Z < 2.47) = 0.9932 − 0.0068

P(-2.47 < Z < 2.47) = 0.9864

Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that there is a 0.9864 = 98.64% probability that a random sample of 17 pregnancies has a mean gestation period within 9 days of the mean.

In a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation , 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.For a sample of size n, by the Central Limit Theorem, the standard deviation is given by [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In this problem:

Mean of 295 days, thus [tex]\mu = 295[/tex].Standard deviation of 15 days, thus [tex]\sigma = 15[/tex].Sample of 17 pregnancies, thus [tex]n = 17, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{17}}[/tex].

Gestation period within 9 days of the mean is between 286 and 304 days, and the probability is the p-value of Z when X = 304 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 286.

X = 304:

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{304 - 295}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{17}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.47[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.47[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9932

X = 286:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{286 - 295}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{17}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.47[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.47[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0068

0.9932 - 0.0068 = 0.9864.

0.9864 = 98.64% probability that a random sample of 17 pregnancies has a mean gestation period within 9 days of the mean.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

'x' the price of the meal

15% of x or 0.15x is the tip

x + 0.15x = 20.70

1.15x = 20.70 divide both sides by 1.15

x = 20.70/1.15

x = $18

0.15*18 = $2.70

The price of the meal without the tip is $18.

The tip was $2.70.

A sofa regularly sells for $710. The sale price is $553.80. Find the percent decrease of the sale price from the regular price.

Answers

Given:

A sofa regularly sells for $710.

The sale price is $553.80.

To find:

The percent decrease of the sale price from the regular price.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]Decrease\%=\dfrac{\text{Regular price - Sale price}}{\text{Regular price}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]Decrease\%=\dfrac{710-553.80}{710}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]Decrease\%=\dfrac{156.2}{710}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]Decrease\%=0.22 \times 100[/tex]

[tex]Decrease\%=22\%[/tex]

Therefore, the percent decrease of the sale price from the regular price is 22%.

Answer:

case a) y=1/3x+8

case b) y=-3x+28

Step-by-step explanation:

case a)

parallel lines has the same slope, then, the searched line has the form:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{3} x +b[/tex]

Now, in order to find b, we must use the given point (6,10). By substituying this point into the last equation, one has

[tex]10=\frac{1}{3} 6+b\\10=\frac{6}{3} +b\\10=2+b\\b=10-2\\b=8[/tex]

Then, the line equation is y=1/3x+8

case b)

the slope of a perpendicular line is the "negative reciprocal" of the slope of the original line, that is

[tex]m=-\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3} } \\m=-3[/tex]

Hence, the searched line has the form y=-3x + b. Now, in order to find the y-intercept b, we must use the given point (6,10). Therefore,

[tex]10=-3(6)+b\\10=-18+b\\b=10+18\\b=28[/tex]

Hence, the searced equation is y=-3x+28
