In preparation for the upcoming school year, a teacher looks at raw test scores on the statewide standardized test for the students in his class. Instead of looking at the scores relative to the norms in the state, the teacher wants to understand the scores relative to the students who will be in the class. To do so, he decides to convert the test scores into z scores relative to the mean and standard deviation of the students in the class. The mean test score in his upcoming class is 49, and the standard deviation is 20.7.

The following are the scores for some (not all) of her students.

For z = 2.00, test score = ____________
For z - -2.00, test score = ____________

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

In preparation for the upcoming school year, a teacher looks at raw test scores on the statewide standardized test for the students in her class. Instead of looking at the scores relative to the norms in the state, the teacher wants to understand the scores relative to the students who will be in the class. To do so, she decides to convert the test scores into z-scores relative to the mean and standard deviation of the students in the class. The mean test score in her upcoming class is 202, and the standard deviation is 38.2. The following are the scores for some (not all) of her students. Complete the table using the dropdown menus. The teacher wants to identify those students who may need extra challenge or extra help. As a first cut, she decides to look at students who have z-scores above z = 2.00 or below z = -2.00. Identify the test score corresponding to each of the following z-scores. Round to the nearest whole number. For z = 2.00, test score = .For z - -2.00, test score = .

Solution:

The z score is a used in statistics to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\where\ x=raw\ score, \mu=mean,\sigma=standard\ deviation\\\\For\ a\ sample\ size(n):\\\\z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

Given that μ = 202, σ = 38.2

i) for student B, x = 199. Hence:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} =\frac{199-202}{38.2}=-0.08\\[/tex]

ii) for student D, x = 222. Hence:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} =\frac{222-202}{38.2}=-0.52\\[/tex]

iii) for student F, x = 172. Hence:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} =\frac{172-202}{38.2}=-0.79\\[/tex]

iv) for student H, x = 215. Hence:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} =\frac{215-202}{38.2}=0.34\\[/tex]

For z = 2.00, the test score x is:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\ 2=\frac{x-202}{38.2}\\\\76.4=x-202\\\\x=278.4[/tex]

For z = -2.00, the test score x is:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\ -2=\frac{x-202}{38.2}\\\\-76.4=x-202\\\\x=125.6[/tex]

A company produces two types of bicycles; mountain bikes and racing bikes. It takes 5 hours of assembly time and 4 hours of mechanical tuning to produce a mountain bike. It takes 10 hours of assembly time and 2 hours of mechanical tuning to produce a racing bike. The company has at most 23 hours of mechanical tuning labor per week and at most 152 hours of assembly labor per week. The company's profit is $40 for each mountain bike produced and $140 for each racing bike produced. The company wants to make as much money as possible. Let x = the number of mountain bikes they produce, and let y = the number of racing bikes they produce. What are the constraints for this problem?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of mountain bikes they produce, and let y represent the number of racing bikes they produce.

It takes 4 hours of mechanical tuning to produce a mountain bike and 2 hours of mechanical tuning to produce a racing bike. The company has at most 23 hours of mechanical tuning labor per week. Therefore the constraint is:

4x + 2y ≤ 23     (1)

It takes 5 hours of assembly time to produce a mountain bike and 10 hours of assembly time to produce a racing bike. The company has at most 152 hours of mechanical tuning labor per week. Therefore the constraint is:

5x + 10y ≤ 152     (2)

Also, x, y ≥ 0        (3)

The company's profit is $40 for each mountain bike produced and $140 for each racing bike produced. The profit equation is:

Profit = 40x + 140y

Plotting the constraints equation 1 and equation 2 using geogebra online graphing tool. The solution are (0,0), (5,75, 0), (0, 11.5)

At (0,0); Profit = 40(0) + 140(0) = 0

At (5.75,0); Profit = 40(5.75) + 140(0) = 230

At (0,11.5); Profit = 40(0) + 140(11.5) = 1610

The maximum profit is at (0, 11.5)

To shade this on a number line, we can find the point that corresponds to 0.375 and shade it.

What is a number line?

It is the representation of numbers in real order.

The difference between the consecutive numbers in a number line is always positive.

We have,

To shade the number line to show 3/5 x 5/8, we can first convert the fractions to decimals:

So,

3/5 = 0.6

5/8 = 0.625

Next,

We can multiply these decimals together to find the product:

= 0.6 x 0.625

= 0.375

To shade this on a number line, we can find the point that corresponds to 0.375 and shade it.

If the number line extends from 0 to 1, with tick marks every 0.1, we can count over 3.75 tick marks from 0 and shade the point that corresponds to that location.

The shaded point should fall between 0.3 and 0.4 on the number line.

Thus,

To shade this on a number line, we can find the point that corresponds to 0.375 and shade it.

A certain cell phone advertises a mean battery life of 32 hours. Suppose the battery life of these phones follows a Normal distribution with standard deviation 2.5 hours. If 5 of these phones are randomly selected from the factory, then there is about a 95% probability that the sample mean will fall in which interval?
Find the z-table here.
7.5–56.5 hours
21.0–43.0 hours
27.1–36.9 hours
29.8–34.2 hours
31.0–33.0 hours

Answers

Answer:

29.8–34.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Empirical Rule:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Population:

Mean of 32, standard deviation of 2.5.

Sample:

Sample of 5, so [tex]n = 5, s = \frac{2.5}{\sqrt{5}} = 1.1[/tex]

There is about a 95% probability that the sample mean will fall in which interval?

Within 2 standard deviations of the mean. So

32 - 2*1.1 = 32 - 2.2 = 29.8

32 + 2*1.1 = 32 + 2.2 = 34.2 hours

Answers

Answer:

h = 8.77

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, h. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 4.88 from both sides:

h + 4.88 = 13.65

h + 4.88 (-4.88) = 13.65 (-4.88)

h = 13.65 - 4.88

h = 8.77
