Suppose Z has a standard normal distribution with a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1. 27% of the possible Z values are grea
1 answer:
Answer:
27% of the possible Z values are greater than 0.613
Step-by-step explanation:
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question, we have that:
27% of the possible Z values are greater than
The 100 - 27 = 73rd percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.73. So X when the z-score is 0.613.
27% of the possible Z values are greater than 0.613

Answer:
Option E: 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
When Caleb (C) has 20 more books than Danica (D), we have:
(1)
Now, when Caleb gives Danica half of his books:
(2)
Danica will have 4 more books than Caleb, so:
(3)
Also we have that:
(4)
By entering equation (2) and equation (3) into equation (4) we have:
(5)
From (1) we have:
(6)
By entering (6) into (5):
And, from (6):
Therefore, the correct option is E, Caleb had to start with 24 books.

Answer:
- See the graph attached
- x₁ ≈ - 2.1
- x₂ ≈ 0.2
Explanation:
To solve log (−5.6x + 1.3) = −1 − x graphycally, you must graph this system of equations on the same coordinate plane:
- Equation 1: y = log (5.6x + 1.3)
- Equatin2: y = - 1 - x
1) To graph the equation 1 you can use these features of logarithmfunctions:
- Domain: positive values ⇒ -5.6x + 1.3 > 0 ⇒ x < 13/56 (≈ 0.23)
- Range: all real numbers (- ∞ , ∞)
- x-intercept:
log ( -5.6x + 1.3) = 0 ⇒ -5.6x + 1.3 = 1 ⇒x = 0.3/5.6 ≈ 0.054
- y-intercept:
x = 0 ⇒ log (0 + 1.3) = log (1.3) ≈ 0.11
- Pick some other values and build a table:
x log (-5.6x + 1.3)
-1 0.8
-2 1.1
-3 1.3
- You can see such graph on the picture attached: it is the red curve.
2) Graphing the equation 2 is easier because it is a line: y = - 1 - x
- slope, m = - 1 (the coeficient of x)
- y - intercept, b = - 1 (the constant term)
- x - intercept: y = 0 = - 1 - x ⇒ x = - 1
- The graph is the blue line on the picture.
3) The solution or solutions of the equations are the intersection points of the two graphs. So, now the graph method just requires that you read the x coordinates of the intersection points. From the least to the greatest, rounded to the nearest tenth, they are:
- <u><em>x₁ ≈ - 2.1</em></u>
- <u><em>x₂ ≈ 0.2</em></u>
