The combined (verbal + quantitative reasoning) score on the GRE (Graduate Record Exam) is normally distributed with mean 1049 and standard deviation 189. Suppose n = 16 randomly selected students take the GRE on the same day.
a. What is the probability that one randomly selected student scores above 1100 on the GRE?
b. Describe the sampling distribution of the sample mean for the 16 students (description should include mean, standard deviation and shape).
c. What is the probability that a random sample of 16 students has a mean GRE score that is less than 1100?
d. What is the probability that a random sample of 16 students has a mean score that is more than 1100?
e. If the sample size in (d) above was increased to 64, what affect would it have on the probability (more, less, the same, can't tell) and why?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Normal distribution :

Mean (m) = 1049

Standard deviation (sd) = 189

Number of samples (n) = 16

A) What is the probability that one randomly selected student scores above 1100 on the GRE?

Obtain the z score

Zscore = (x - m) / sd

Zscore = (1100 - 1049) / 189

Zscore = 51 / 189 = 0.2698412 = 0.27

Using the z-table

P(X > 100) = 1 - P(X < 100) = 1 - 0.6064 = 0.3936

B) The sample mean = population mean

Hence sample mean = 1049

The sample standard deviation = standard error

Standard Error (SE) = sd / sqrt(n)

SE = 189/4 = 47.25

Hence shape = normal, standard deviation = 47.25, mean = 1049

C.) P(X < 1100)

Zscore = (x - m) / SE

Zscore = (1100 - 1049) / 47.25

Zscore = 51 / 47.25 = 1.0793650 = 1.08

Using the z-table :

P(X < 1100) = 0.8599

D.) P(X > 1100)

Zscore = (x - m) / SE

Zscore = (1100 - 1049) / 47.25

Zscore = 51 / 47.25 = 1.0793650 = 1.08

Using the z-table :

P(X > 1100) = 1 - P(X < 1100) = (1 - 0.8599) = 0.1401

E) if n = 64

SE = 189 / sqrt(64) = 189 / 8 = 23.625

P(X > 1100)

Zscore = (x - m) / SE

Zscore = (1100 - 1049) / 23.625

Zscore = 51 / 47.25 = 2.1587301 = 2.16

Using the z-table :

P(X > 1100) = 1 - P(X < 1100) = (1 - 0.9846) = 0.0154

The probability decreases as the same distribution hinges towards a Boal distribution with increasing sample size.

Horizontal asymptote:  observe that as x grows towards infinity, the function (and graph) approaches y = 0.  This is the horizontal asymptote.

Vertical asymptote:  These occur whenever the denominator of a rational function becomes zero.  Here the vertical asymptotes are  x = ± 1.

A bicycle is traveling at 20 miles per hour.
How many feet will it cover in 55 seconds?
Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answers

Answer:

1613.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the conversion 1mile = 5280feet

If a bicycle is traveling at 20 miles per hour, then the bicycke must have been travelling at (20*5280)feet per hour which is equivalent to 105,600 feet per hour.

To know the number of feet that will be covered in 55seconds, we will solve the equality operation;

If 105,600 feet  = 1hour (3600secs)

x foot = 55secs

where x is the amount of feet it will cover in 55 seconds?

Cross multiply

3600 * x = 105,600*55

3600x = 5,808,000

divide both sides by 3600

3600x/3600 = 5,808,000/3600

x = 1613.3 feet (to the nearest tenth)

Hence the amount of feet covered in 55seconds to the nearest tenth is 1613.3 feet

June bought three books. For the first book, she paid one half of her allowance plus $1 more. For the second book, she paid one half of her left-over money plus $2 more. For the third book, she paid one half of her left-over money plus $3 more. At this point, she had no money left. How much was her allowance?

Answers

Answer:

$34

Step-by-step explanation:

I'd work backwards.

For the third book, she paid all her remaining money. The problem says she paid "1/2 her leftover money + $3". This means that: (let m = money used to buy book 3)

m = 1/2m + 3

1/2m = 3

m = 6

For the second book: (let n = money before book 2)

n - m (money left after book 2) = 1/2n + 2

1/2n +2 is money used up for book, which is the same as n-m.

n = 1/2n + 2 + m

1/2n = 2 + m = 2 + 6

1/2n =8

n = 16

For the first book, she spent 1/2 her money + 1. If o = money before book 1 (or the whole allowance):

o - n = 1/2o + 1

o = 1/2o + n + 1 = 1/2o + 16 + 1

1/2o = 17

o = 34

Check!

Spent 17 (half 34) + 1 on book 1

16 left

Spent 8 (half 16) +2 on book 2

6 left

Spent 3 (half 6) + 3 on book 3

0 left

Heather wants to purchase a pet from her local pet store. The pet store is offering 50% off rare exotic parrots. The original purchase price of a parrot is $956.50. Heather has a coupon for 10% off her entire purchase. How much will she pay if she also purchases a birdcage for $47.05?

$525.66
$478.25
$472.77
$903.20

Answers

C) $472.77

Step-by-step explanation: The parrot is half off so it goes from $956.50 to $478.25. Add the bird cage for $47.05 and she has a total of $523.3 to pay. The 10% off coupon makes her need to pay $472.77.

Answer:

$472.77

Step-by-step explanation:

To to this you would just do 50% of 956.50 so you would multiply 956.50 and 50 so you get 48,725 and divide by 100 so you get 487.25 as the price of the bird. So then you you would add 47.05 to the number so you get 525.30 and you would multiply by 10 then divide by 100 so you get 52.53 and subtract that from 525.30 so you get $472.77

Step-by-step explanation:

5x² + 3x + 1 = 0

Using the quadratic formula

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

From the question

a = 5 , b = 3 , c = 1

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve

That's

[tex]x = \frac{ - 3\pm \sqrt{ {3}^{2} - 4(5)(1) } }{2(5)} \\ x = \frac{ - 3\pm \sqrt{9 - 20} }{10} \\ x = \frac{ - 3\pm \sqrt{ - 11} }{10} \\ x = \frac{ - 3\pm \sqrt{11 } \: i}{10} \\ x = \frac{ - 3 + \sqrt{11} \: i}{10} \: \: or \: \: \: x = \frac{ - 3 - \sqrt{11} \: i}{10} [/tex]

Separate the real and imaginary parts

We have the final answer as

[tex]x = - \frac{3}{10} + \frac{ \sqrt{11} }{10} \: i \\ \\ x = - \frac{ 3}{10} - \frac{ \sqrt{11} }{10} \: i[/tex]

What is the ratio?

The ratio is described as the comparison of two quantities to determine how many times one obtains the other. The proportion can be expressed as a fraction or as a sign: between two integers.

Given, The table shows the ratio of nuts to raisins in different snack mixes.

to compare the graph in Figure 1 with the graph in Figure 2 you would say that as both independent variables increase so do the Raisins.

but the first two graphs are not satisfying the value given in the chart or table.

By comparing Graph 3 and graph 4

SinceNuts should be on the x-axis and raisins on the y-axis

thus only graph 3 is satisfying all the criteria given in the problem.

Therefore, only graph 3  shows these equivalent ratios Also see the attached picture below.

The angles in a triangle are such that one angle is 85∘ more than the smallest angle, while the third angle is 3 times as large as the smallest angle. Find the measures of all three angles.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + x + 85 + 3x = 180

5x + 85 = 180

5x = 95

x = 19°

3(19)= 57°

x + 85 = 19 + 85 = 104°

The angles in a triangle are such that one angle is 85° more than the smallest angle, while the third angle is 3 times as large as the smallest angle. On solving the linear equation, the measures of all three angles are 17°, 51° and 102°.

Linear equation in one variable is an equation with an equals to sign with expressions on either side of it being equal. There must only be one variable. Also, the degree of each term must be one.

Given in the question:

Let the smallest angle be x°

the second angle = (x+85)°

the third angle = 3x°

Sum of all interior angle of a triangle = 180°

The linear equation becomes:

x + (x+85) + 3x = 180

5x + 85 = 180

5x = 95

x = 17°

x + 85 = 17 + 85 = 102°

3x =  17 * 3 = 51°

Step-by-step explanation:

78° and (5y + 2)° are a linear pair. They are supplementary, and add up to 180°.

Therefore, the following equation expresses their relationship:

[tex] 78 + (5y + 2) = 180 [/tex]

Solve for y

[tex] 78 + 5y + 2 = 180 [/tex]

[tex] 78 + 2 + 5y = 180 [/tex]

Subtract 80 from both sides

[tex] 5y = 100 [/tex]

Divide both sides by 5
