scores on a college entrance examination are normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100% of people who write this exam obtain scores between 425 and 575​

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

We have

\mu = 500

\sigma = 100

425 corresponds to a z of

z_1 = (425 - 500)/(100) = -\frac 3 4

575 corresponds to

z_2 = (575 - 500)/(100) = \frac 3 4

So we want the area of the standard Gaussian between -3/4 and 3/4.  

We look up z in the standard normal table, the one that starts with 0 at z=0 and increases.  That's the integral from 0 to z of the standard Gaussian.

For z=0.75 we get p=0.2734. So the probability, which is the integral from -3/4 to 3/4, is double that, 0.5468.

Answer: 55%

PLEASE HELP YOU GUYS

Answers

Roll dice and flip coin:
Probability of rolling a cube and getting a 3 = 1/6 .
Probability of flipping a coin and getting HEADS = 1/2 .

Probability of both = (1/6) x (1/2) .
You do the multiplication.

4 blue, 2 green, 6 red
Probability of a blue on the first draw = 4 out of 12 marbles = 1/3 .
Without putting the blue back in ...
Probability of a red on the next draw = 6 out of 11 marbles = 6/11 .

Probability of both = (1/3) x (6/11) .
You do the multiplication.  

Nolan bought 26 yards of heavy duty rope at the hardware store. The rope cost $2 per foot.how much did Nolan pay for the rope?

Answers

1 yard = 3 feet
So multiply 3 by 26. This is 78. We now know there are 78 feet. But it costs $2 per foot so we multiply 78 by 2.

Answer: $156
2.00×26=$52 dollars is what he payed
