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.

Simplify the fraction.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]sin(\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{17} }{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

sin(x)^2 + cos(x)^2 = 1

And we know that:

[tex]cos(\theta) = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{7} }[/tex]

We want to find the value of the sine function evaluated in theta.

If we replace that in the first equation, we get:

[tex]sin(\theta)^2 + cos(\theta)^2 = 1[/tex]

[tex]sin(\theta)^2 + (\frac{4*\sqrt{2} }{7}) ^2 = 1[/tex]

[tex]sin(\theta)^2 + (\frac{4^2*\sqrt{2}^2 }{7^2}) = 1[/tex]

[tex]sin(\theta)^2 + (\frac{16*2 }{49}) = 1[/tex]

Now we can just isolate the sine part of that equation, so we get:

[tex]sin(\theta)^2 = - (\frac{16*2 }{49}) + 1 = \frac{-32}{49} + \frac{49}{49} = \frac{-32 + 49}{49} = \frac{17}{49}[/tex]

[tex]sin(\theta) = \sqrt{\frac{17}{49} } = \frac{\sqrt{17} }{\sqrt{49} } = \frac{\sqrt{17} }{7}[/tex]

Three coffees and two muffins cost a total of 7 dollars. Two coffees and four muffins cost a total of 8 dollars. What is the individual price for a single coffee and a single muffin?

Answers

Answer:

Cost of a coffee = $1.5

Cost of a muffin = $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of 3 coffee and 2 muffins = $7

Cost of 2 coffee and 4 muffins = $8

Find:

Cost of each

Computation:

Assume;

Cost of a coffee = a

Cost of a muffin = b

So,

3a + 2b = 7 .......... Eq1

2a + 4b = 8 .......... Eq2

Eq1 x 2

6a + 4b = 14 ......... Eq3

From Eq3 - Eq2

4a = 6

a = 1.5

Cost of a coffee = $1.5

3a + 2b = 7

3(1.5) + 2b = 7

4.5 + 2b = 7

b = 2.5/2

b = 1.25

Cost of a muffin = $1.25

D. About 3.5% ofthe people interviewed refused to answer the question.
E. The probability is .48 that Congressman Porkbarrel will be reelected.

Answers

Answer:

A. Based on the procedure by which this figure was generated, it is likely that the population proportion is between 44.5% and 51.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval:

We build a confidence interval from a sample proportion, to get an estimate of where the population proportion should likely be.

48% of voters surveyed favored the reelection of Congressman Porkbarrel, with a margin of error of 3.5%.

48 - 3.5 = 44.5%.

48 + 3.5 = 51.5%.

Following the concept of a confidence interval, the population proportion is likely to be between 44.5% and 51.5%, and thus, the correct answer is given by option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first customer arrives at time 3, and is finished being served at time 3+7 = 10.

The second customer arrives at time 6, so waits until time 10 to be served. The second customer is finished being served at time 10+9 = 19.

The third and fourth customers arrive at times 15 and 17. The third customer waits until time 19 to be served, and is finished being served at time 19+6 = 25.

The fourth customer waits until time 25 to be served, and is finished being served at time 25+8 = 33.

The fourth customer leaves at time 33.

You fllp a fair coln 7 times in a row. Let X be the number of heads that come up. Which of the following cannot be a
possible value of X?
2

16

Answers

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A coin

[tex]n = 7[/tex] --- Number of flips

[tex]x \to heads[/tex]

Required

Which can't be the value of x

From the question, we understand that the coin was flipped 7 times.

This means that, the highest occurrence of head is:

[tex]x = 7[/tex]

And the list is:

[tex]x = 0[/tex]

So, the range of x is:

[tex]x = \{0,1,2,....,7\}[/tex]

In the above range, only (16) is out of range.

Hence:

[tex]x \ne 16[/tex] --- Number of heads can't be 16

Suppose a fair six sided die has been relabeled so that the 6 is replaced with another 5,i.e., the sides read 1,2,3,4,5,5. If the die is rolled five times, what is the probability that we roll five distinct values

Answers

Answer:

P(rolling five distinct values) = 1/3888

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that I the fair sided dice, 6 is replaced with 5.

Thus,the numbers are now;

1,2,3,4,5,5.

This means a total of 6 possible numbers appearing.

Now, in these 6 numbers there are only 5 distinct numbers since 5 occurs twice.

P(1) = 1/6

P(2) = 1/6

P(3) = 1/6

P(4) = 1/6

P(5) = 2/6

Thus,probability of rolling 5 distinct values = 1/6 × 1/6 × 1/6 × 1/6 × 2/6 = 1/3888

Your class is selling boxes of flower seeds as a fundraiser. The total profit p depends on the amount x that your class charges for each box of seeds. The equation p= -0.5x2 + 36x - 231 models the profit of the fundraiser. What's the smallest amount, in dollars, that you can charge and make a profit of at least $363?​

Answers

Answer:

The least amount is $75.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]p \to profit[/tex]

[tex]x \to amount[/tex]

[tex]p = -0.5x^2 + 36x - 231[/tex]

Required

The smallest amount to make at least 363

We have:

[tex]p = -0.5x^2 + 36x - 231[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]-0.5x^2 + 36x - 231=p[/tex]

Substitute 363 for p

[tex]-0.5x^2 + 36x - 231 = 363[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]-0.5x^2 + 36x - 231 + 363 = 0[/tex]

[tex]-0.5x^2 + 36x + 132 = 0[/tex]

Using quadratic formula, we have:

[tex]x = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]a = -0.5; b= 36; c = 132[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]x = \frac{-36 \± \sqrt{36^2 - 4*-0.5*132}}{2*-0.5}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-36 \± \sqrt{1560}}{-1}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-36 \± 39.50}{-1}[/tex]

Split

[tex]x = \frac{-36 + 39.50}{-1}; x = \frac{-36 - 39.50}{-1}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{3.50}{-1}; x = \frac{-75.50}{-1}[/tex]

[tex]x = 75.50[/tex] and [tex]x = -3.50[/tex]

The amount can't be negative.

So:

[tex]x = 75.50[/tex]

Hence, the least amount is $75.50
