Harry notes that the state sales tax went from 2% to 2.5%, which he says is not too bad because it's just a one-half percent increase. But Linda says that it really is bad because it's a 25% increase. Who's right, and why?

Answer: k = 200/3

Step-by-step explanation:

If a variable, a varies directly with a variable, c, it means that as a increases, c increases and as a decreases, c decreases.

Also, If a variable, a varies inversely with a variable, b, it means that as a increases, b decreases and as a decreases, c increases.

The variable c varies directly with a and inversely with b. We would introduce a constant of variation, k. Therefore

a = kc/b

If c = 3/20 when a = 2 and b =5, then

2 = (k × 3/20)/5 = 3k/100

Cross multiplying, it becomes

3k = 100 × 2 = 200

k = 200/3

Answer: k=3/8 c=3/40

Answer:

(a) 0.023835

(b) 0.6281

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The chance someone from this population will test positive is given by the percentage of people who have the virus multiplied by the change of testing positive (1 - false-negative rate) added to the percentage of people who do not have the virus multiplied by the change of testing positive (false-positive rate)

[tex]P(+) = 0.015*(1-0.002)+(1-0.015)*0.009\\P(+) = 0.023835[/tex]

(b) The probability that someone actually has the virus given that they have tested positive is determined as the probability of having the virus and testing positive divided by the probability of testing positive:

[tex]P(V|+) = \frac{ 0.015*(1-0.002)}{0.023835}\\P(V|+) = 0.6281[/tex]

The partial fraction are:

a) [tex](x / (x^2 + x - 20))[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac{x}{x^2 + x - 20} = \dfrac{A}{(x - 4)} + \dfrac{B}{(x + 5)}[/tex]

b) [tex]\dfrac{x}{x^2 + x + 2} = \dfrac{A}{(x +1)} + \dfrac{B}{(x + 2)}[/tex]

(a) The partial fraction decomposition of the function [tex](x / (x^2 + x - 20))[/tex] can be written as:

[tex]\dfrac{x}{x^2 + x - 20} = \dfrac{A}{(x - 4)} + \dfrac{B}{(x + 5)}[/tex]

where A and B are constants.

The student is asked to perform partial fraction decomposition for two functions. In the first case, the given rational function decomposes to the form: A/(x - 4) + B/(x + 5). In the second case, the decomposition does not exist as the denominator can't be factored using real numbers.

In mathematics, the concept under discussion is the partial fraction decomposition. This is a process used in algebra to break down complex fractions or rational expressions into simpler ones. Given (a) x/(x^2 + x - 20) and (b) x^2/(x^2 + x + 2), you are being asked to perform the decomposition.

For (a), the denominator, x^2 + x - 20, can be factored as (x - 4)(x + 5), so the partial fraction decomposition would have the form: x/(x^2 + x - 20) = A/(x - 4) + B/(x + 5).

For (b), since the denominator x^2 + x + 2 can't be factored using real numbers, the partial fraction decomposition doesn't exist. Here, the answer would be DNE (Does Not Exist).

Step-by-step explanation:

The estimated volume of the liver using the Midpoint Rule with n = 5 is approximately 1051.5 cubic centimeters.

To estimate the volume V of the liver using the Midpoint Rule with n = 5 , we need to first find the average area of adjacent cross-sections and then multiply it by the distance between these cross-sections.

Given the cross-sectional areas: 0, 17, 58, 77, 95, 106, 118, 127, 63, 40, and 0.

We will partition these areas into 5 equal intervals and use the midpoint of each interval to estimate the average area.

Interval 1: 0, 17

Interval 2: 17, 58

Interval 3: 58, 77

Interval 4: 77, 95

Interval 5: 95, 106

Interval 6: 106, 118

Interval 7: 118, 127

Interval 8: 127, 63

Interval 9: 63, 40

Interval 10: 40, 0

Now, we calculate the midpoints of each interval:

Midpoint 1: (0 + 17)/2 = 8.5

Midpoint 2: (17 + 58)/2 = 37.5

Midpoint 3: (58 + 77)/2 = 67.5

Midpoint 4: (77 + 95)/2 = 86

Midpoint 5: (95 + 106)/2 = 100.5

Midpoint 6: (106 + 118)/2 = 112

Midpoint 7: (118 + 127)/2 = 122.5

Midpoint 8: (127 + 63)/2 = 95

Midpoint 9: (63 + 40)/2 = 51.5

Midpoint 10: (40 + 0)/2 = 20

Next, we find the average area of these intervals:

[tex]\( A_1 = 8.5 \)[/tex], [tex]\( A_2 = 37.5 \)[/tex], [tex]\( A_3 = 67.5 \)[/tex], [tex]\( A_4 = 86 \)[/tex], [tex]\( A_5 = 100.5 \)[/tex], [tex]\( A_6 = 112 \)[/tex], [tex]\( A_7 = 122.5 \)[/tex], [tex]\( A_8 = 95 \)[/tex], [tex]\( A_9 = 51.5 \)[/tex], [tex]\( A_{10} = 20 \)[/tex]

Now, we use the Midpoint Rule formula to estimate the volume:

[tex]\[ V \approx \Delta x \sum_{i=1}^{n} A_i \][/tex]

Where [tex]\( \Delta x \)[/tex] is the distance between cross-sections, given as 1.5 cm, and n = 5 intervals.

V [tex]\approx[/tex] 1.5 * (8.5 + 37.5 + 67.5 + 86 + 100.5 + 112 + 122.5 + 95 + 51.5 + 20) \]

[tex]\[ V \approx 1.5 \times (701) \][/tex]

[tex]\[ V \approx 1051.5 \][/tex]

So, the estimated volume of the liver using the Midpoint Rule with n = 5 is approximately 1051.5 cubic centimeters.

The explicit formula for the sequence given by an = an-1 - 4 with a1 = 15 is an = 19 - 4n, which is derived using the general formula for an arithmetic sequence.

The question asks to derive the explicit formula for a sequence given by the recursive formula an = an-1 - 4 with the initial term a1 = 15. To find the explicit formula, we recognize this as an arithmetic sequence where the common difference (d) is -4 and the first term (a1) is 15.

The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by an = a1 + (n - 1)d. Substituting a1 = 15 and d = -4 into this formula gives us:

an = 15 + (n - 1)(-4)

Simplifying, we get an = 19 - 4n. This is the explicit formula for the given sequence, allowing us to find any term in the sequence without needing to calculate all the previous terms.

n=30, x= 5, p=1/5"

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we know that:

[tex]X \sim Binom(n=30, p=0.2)[/tex]

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

[tex]P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

[tex]nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say S is the number of small boxes and L is the number of large boxes.

S + L = 26

7S + 13L = 254

Solve the system of equations using substitution.

7S + 13(26 − S) = 254

7S + 338 − 13S = 254

84 − 6S = 0

S = 14

L = 26 − S

L = 12

The company shipped 14 small boxes and 12 large boxes.

Answer:14 small boxes and 12 large boxes were shipped.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of small boxes of paper that were shipped.

Let y represent the number of large boxes of paper that were shipped.

A total of 26 boxes of paper were shipped. This means that

x + y = 26

The volume of each small box is 7 cubic feet and the volume of each large box is 13 cubic feet. The total number of boxes shipped have a combined volume of 254 cubic feet. This means that

7x + 13y = 254 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 26 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7(26 - y) + 13y = 254

182 - 7y + 13y = 254

- 7y + 13y = 254 - 182

6y = 72

y = 72/6 = 12

x = 26 - y = 26 - 12

x = 14

Answer: 12.22

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a right angled triangle, we use the trigonometry method of solving triangles for this question.

The given angle is 42° and we recall our trigonometry functions of

Sin Φ = opposite/hypotenuse

Cos Φ= adjacent/hypotenuse

tan Φ = opposite/adjacent

Where

Φ =42°

Opposite of the angle = GH = 11

Adjacent of the angle = HI = ?.

Hence we use the tan Formula.

tan 42 = 11/HI

HI = 11/tan42

HI = 11/0.90

HI = 12.22

Answer: it is verified that:

* y1 and y2 are solutions to the differential equation,

* c1 + c2t^(1/2) is not a solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the differential equation

yy'' + (y')² = 0

To verify that y1 solutions to the DE, differentiate y1 twice and substitute the values of y1'' for y'', y1' for y', and y1 for y into the DE. If it is equal to 0, then it is a solution. Do this for y2 as well.

Now,

y1 = 1

y1' = 0

y'' = 0

So,

y1y1'' + (y1')² = (1)(0) + (0)² = 0

Hence, y1 is a solution.

y2 = t^(1/2)

y2' = (1/2)t^(-1/2)

y2'' = (-1/4)t^(-3/2)

So,

y2y2'' + (y2')² = t^(1/2)×(-1/4)t^(-3/2) + [(1/2)t^(-1/2)]² = (-1/4)t^(-1) + (1/4)t^(-1) = 0

Hence, y2 is a solution.

Now, for some nonzero constants, c1 and c2, suppose c1 + c2t^(1/2) is a solution, then y = c1 + c2t^(1/2) satisfies the differential equation.

Let us differentiate this twice, and verify if it satisfies the differential equation.

y = c1 + c2t^(1/2)

y' = (1/2)c2t^(-1/2)

y'' = (-1/4)c2t(-3/2)

yy'' + (y')² = [c1 + c2t^(1/2)][(-1/4)c2t(-3/2)] + [(1/2)c2t^(-1/2)]²

= (-1/4)c1c2t(-3/2) + (-1/4)(c2)²t(-3/2) + (1/4)(c2)²t^(-1)

= (-1/4)c1c2t(-3/2)

≠ 0

This clearly doesn't satisfy the differential equation, hence, it is not a solution.

Final answer:

The provided solutions y₁(t) = 1 and y₂(t) = [tex]t^{(1/2)[/tex] satisfy the given differential equation, verified through substitution and simplification. However, a linear combination of the form [tex]c_1 + c_2t^{(1/2)[/tex] is not a solution as it does not satisfy the original equation when its derivatives are substituted.

Explanation:

We are given the second-order differential equation yy'' + (y')² = 0, where y = y(t) is a function of t, and we are asked to verify solutions and understand properties of certain types of solutions to this equation.

To verify that y₁(t) = 1 is a solution, we calculate the derivatives: y₁' = 0 and y₁'' = 0. Substituting these into the differential equation yields (1)(0)+(0)² = 0, which holds true, confirming that y₁(t) = 1 is indeed a solution.

Next, to verify y₂(t) = [tex]t^{(1/2)[/tex], we find y₂' = [tex](1/2)t^{(-1/2)[/tex] and [tex]y_2'' = -(1/4)t^{(-3/2)[/tex]. Substituting these values gives [tex](t^{(1/2)})(-(1/4)t^{(-3/2)}) + ((1/2)t^{(-1/2)})^2 = 0[/tex], which simplifies to 0, showing that y₂(t) is also a solution.

For the linear combination of solutions, we consider [tex]y(t) = c_1 + c_2t^{(1/2)[/tex]. Derivatives are [tex]y' = c_2(1/2)t^{(-1/2)[/tex] and [tex]y'' = -c_2(1/4)t^{(-3/2)[/tex]. Substituting into the given differential equation does not yield zero, thus [tex]c_1 + c_2t^{(1/2)[/tex] is not a solution.

[tex] s^2 = 0.503^2 = 0.25 in^2[/tex]

D. The statistics are representative because they are taken from a random sample

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data:

9.9 8.7 10.1 9.2 9.2 9.9 10.1 9.4 9.1 9.3 10.2

The data was colledted from a random sample of people selected in 1988.

We can order the dataset on increasing way and we got:

8.7  9.1  9.2  9.2  9.3  9.4  9.9  9.9 10.1 10.1  10.2

The range is defined as [tex] Range= Max-Min= 10.2-8.7=1.5 inches[/tex]

The mean is defined as:

[tex]\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}= 9.555 inches[/tex]

The standard deviation can be calculated with the following formula:

[tex] s =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}[/tex]

And if we replace we got [tex] s = 0.50 inches[/tex]

The sample variance would be just the deviation squared:

[tex] s^2 = 0.503^2 = 0.25 in^2[/tex]

And since the data comes from a random sample then is representative fo the population data in 1988. So then the best answer for this case would be:

D. The statistics are representative because they are taken from a random sample

Final answer:

The range, variance, and standard deviation must be calculated from the given data, but their representativeness for the current population is not guaranteed, especially due to changes since 1988 and potential sampling issues.

Explanation:

To calculate the range, variance, and standard deviation for the provided sample data of foot lengths, first, we must find the smallest and largest values to determine the range. In this set, the smallest value is 0.1 inches, and the largest is 10.2 inches, so the range is 10.2 - 0.1 = 10.1 inches.

To find the variance and standard deviation, we need the sum of the squared deviations from the mean, divided by the number of observations minus one for the sample variance, and then the square root of the variance for the standard deviation.

The representativeness of these statistics for the current population depends on various factors, including changes in population demographics and sampling methods. A single small sample, especially with an outlying value such as 0.1, may not be indicative of the entire population's foot sizes today.

Hence, the correct answer is A: 'Since the measurements were made in 1988, they may not necessarily be representative of the population today.'

Answer:

This statistic is misleading because Howard surveys only his department, and not membes of all the departments that the company has.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a common statistics practice, when we want to study something from a population, we find a sample of this population.

However, the sample has to be representative

For example:

I want to estimate the proportion of New York state residents who are Buffalo Bills fans. So i ask, lets say, 1000 randomly selected Buffalo residents wheter they are Buffalo Bills fans, and expand this to the entire population of New York State residents. This is not representative of all New York State residents, just Buffalo residents.

In this problem, we have that:

Howard wants to know the proportion of employees of a company who use the company's healthcare. He asks only his department. However, a company as multiple departments, which leads to the statistics found in Howard's survey being misleading.

Final answer:

Howard's statistic that 48% of people in his company use the healthcare may be misleading due to potential issues like non-representative sampling, biased survey questions, response bias, and lack of current context.

Explanation:

The question about Howard reporting that 48% of the people in his company use the company's healthcare is misleading may have several underlying reasons. Firstly, the sample size and how the sample was obtained are critical factors that determine the reliability and representation of the poll. A random sample of 600 people is generally a good size, but if the sample is not representative of the entire company's demographics, the statistic could be misleading.

Another potential issue could be the phrasing of the survey question. Questions that are biased or leading can influence the way people respond and thus skew the results. In addition, respondents might have reasons to provide socially desirable answers rather than true ones, or they might misremember their actual usage of healthcare. This is an example of response bias, which can lead to inaccurate data.

Finally, it's vital to consider the context, such as whether the data is recent and if there have been any significant changes in the company's healthcare policy or overall employee demographics since the survey. All these factors can contribute to why a statistic might be considered misleading, as it may not accurately reflect the true situation.

Higher- lower

4.874 - 4.7

0.174

So the difference is 0.174g

The difference in mass between the two nickels is 0.174 grams.

Given that:

Weight of first nickel, n = 4.7 g

Weight of second nickel, N = 4.7 g

To find the difference in mass between the two nickels, subtract the weight of one nickel from the weight of the other nickel:

Difference in mass = Weight of the second nickel - Weight of the first nickel

Let's calculate the difference:

Weight of the second nickel = 4.874 g

Weight of the first nickel = 4.7 g

Difference in mass = 4.874 g - 4.7 g

Difference in mass = 0.174 g

Hence, the difference in mass between the two nickels is 0.174 grams.

Answer:

68.26% of the data would be between 16.4 and 21.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

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 problem, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 19, \sigma = 2.6[/tex]

What percentage of the data would be between 16.4 and 21.6?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 21.6 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16.4. So

X = 21.6

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{21.6 - 19}{2.6}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.8413.

X = 16.4

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{16.4 - 19}{2.6}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.1587

So 0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6826 = 68.26% of the data would be between 16.4 and 21.6.

Answer: Percentage = 0.6826 X 100 = 68.26%

Answer:

Atleast, 88.9% of the households have between 2 and 6 televisions.                                      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in he question:

Sample size, n = 32

Mean, μ = 4

Standard Deviation, σ = 1

Chebychev's Theorem:

[tex]1-\dfrac{1}{2^2} = 0.75[/tex]

Atleast 75% of data lies within 2 standard deviation of mean.

[tex]1-\dfrac{1}{3^2} = 0.889[/tex]

Atleast 88.9% of data lies within 3 standard deviation of mean.

[tex]2 = \mu - 2\sigma = 4 - 2(1)\\6 = \mu + 2\sigma = 4 +2(1)[/tex]

Thus, we have to find data within two standard deviations.

Atleast, 88.9% of the households have between 2 and 6 televisions.

Chebychev's Theorem allows us to determine the proportion of data within a certain number of standard deviations from the mean. In this case, using the formula z = (x - μ) / σ, we find that at least 75% of the households have between 2 and 6 televisions.

Chebychev's Theorem allows us to determine the proportion of data within a certain number of standard deviations from the mean.

In this case, we want to find the proportion of households with between 2 and 6 televisions. To do this, we need to find out how many standard deviations away from the mean these values are.

The number of standard deviations away from the mean can be calculated using the formula z = (x - μ) / σ, where z is the number of standard deviations from the mean, x is the value we're interested in, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

For x = 2, z = (2 - 4) / 1 = -2

For x = 6, z = (6 - 4) / 1 = 2

According to Chebychev's Theorem, no less than 1 - 1/k^2 of the data falls within k standard deviations from the mean. In this case, we're interested in the proportion of data between -2 and 2 standard deviations from the mean.

k = 2 (the distance between -2 and 2), so k^2 = 4.

Thus, the proportion of data within -2 and 2 standard deviations from the mean is equal to 1 - 1/4 = 3/4 = 0.75.

Therefore, at least 75% of the households have between 2 and 6 televisions.

Answer: 87.03

Step-by-step explanation:

The outer parts (2) of the secant line containing α and β refers to the distance travelled where there is no signal. The middle part is where there is signal presence. To get the altitude of the triangle:

Hc= 2(A/c)

To find the area;

A= 1/2(59)(60)

A= 1770

Use Pythagoras theorem to get c:

C= =√(60)^2+(59)^2

=√7081

Hc=2(1770/√7081)

   =3540√7081/7081

Solve for x using Pythagoras theorem:

x= (√44^2-Hc^2) + (√44^2-Hc^2)

where Hc= 3540√7081/7081

      =87.03

By interpreting the problem geometrically and using Pythagoras' theorem, it can be concluded that for approximately 34 miles of the journey from the city 60 miles north of the transmitter to the city 59 miles east of the transmitter will be in range of the radio signal.

This problem can be solved using geometry and the concept of a circle. If we imagine the area the radio transmitter can reach as a circle with the transmitter at the center, any point within a 44-mile radius from the transmitter can pick up its signal. Now, let's analyze the specific scenario proposed.

Firstly, the city 60 miles north is outside the signal range. However, as you drive towards the second city 59 miles east of the transmitter, you'll at some point enter the broadcast range. That's because, at the closest point, you're only about 15 miles away from the transmitter (60 miles - 44 miles), assuming you drive perpendicular to the diameter of the transmission circle.

You need to calculate the intersection of your driving path with the transmission circle. Using Pythagoras' theorem, it can be seen that for about 34 miles of your direct journey from the first city to the second city, you would be in range of the transmitter. The two cities form the hypotenuse of a right triangle, and that hypotenuse intersects the transmission circle creating a segment along which signal will be received.

[tex]0 \leq P\leq 1[/tex]

Evaluating each of the given values:

A. 1.49

1.49 is at least zero but it is greater than one, therefore 1.49 cannot be a probability.

B. 1

1 represents a probability of 100%, therefore this value can be a probability

D. √2

[tex]\sqrt 2 =1.41 > 1[/tex]

Cannot be a probability

E. five thirds

[tex]\frac{5}{3}=1.67>1[/tex]

Cannot be a probability

F. 0

0 represents a probability of 0%, therefore this value can be a probability

G. - 0.59

Negative values cannot be probabilities.

H. 0.04

[tex]0\leq 0.04 \leq 1[/tex]

Can be a probability

Probabilities are values ranging from 0 to 1, inclusive. With this in mind, values 5/3, √2, -0.59, and 1.49 cannot be probabilities as they're either below 0 or above 1.

In the field of mathematics, specifically in statistics, a probability represents the likelihood of an event occurring and is always a value between 0 and 1, inclusively. The value 0 means that an event will not happen, whilst 1 means the event is certain to happen. Therefore, any value less than 0 or greater than 1 cannot be a probability.

Given the values: 0.04​, 5 divided by 3​, 1​, 0​, 3 divided by 5​, √2, negative 0.59​, and 1.49, the values that cannot be probabilities are:

These numbers do not lie within the range of 0 to 1, and hence, cannot represent probabilities.

Answer:

(A) P (D > 0) = 99.38%

(B) P (D > 15) = 10.56%

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable D = difference, is defined as the difference between the reading test scores after and before the program.

The random variable D follows a normal distribution with mean, [tex]\mu_{D}=10[/tex] and standard deviation, [tex]\sigma_{D}=4[/tex].

(A)

Compute the probability that the children showed any improvement, i.e.

P (D > 0):

[tex]P(D>0)=P(\frac{D-\mu_{D}}{\sigma_{D}} >\frac{0-10}{4} )=P(Z>-2.5)=P(Z<2.5)[/tex]

Use the standard normal random variable to determine the probability.

[tex]P(D>0)=P(Z<2.5)=0.9938[/tex]

The percentage of children showed any improvement is:

0.9938 × 100 = 99.38%

Thus, 99.38% of children showed improvement.

(B)

Compute the probability that the children improved by more than 15 points, i.e. P (D > 15):

[tex]P(D>15)=P(\frac{D-\mu_{D}}{\sigma_{D}} >\frac{15-10}{4} )=P(Z>1.25)=1-P(Z<1.25)[/tex]

Use the standard normal random variable to determine the probability.

[tex]P(D>0)=1-P(Z<1.25)=1-0.8944=0.1056[/tex]

The percentage of children improved by more than 15 points is:

0.1056 × 100 = 10.56%

Thus, 10.56% of children showed improvement by more than 15 points.

50% of children showed some improvement, while 10.56% improved their reading scores by more than 15 points during the summer literacy program.

The library staff is utilizing statistical analysis to assess the effectiveness of their summer literacy program. They have chosen a sample of 30 children out of the many who attended, and provided scores both before and after the program. A mean difference score of 10 and a standard deviation of 4 were determined. This question asks to find out the percentage of students who have improved based on these scores (positive score difference) and those who have improved by more than 15 points.

Firstly, we are assuming that the score differences follow a normal distribution. In a normal distribution, half of the results fall on either side of the mean. Since we are looking for an improvement, we only consider the side above the mean score difference, which is equivalent to 50% of all students.

Secondly, to find the percent of children who improved by more than 15 points, we need to calculate the z-score for the score difference of 15. Z-score is calculated as (X - μ) / σ, where X is the score, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation. So, Z = (15 - 10) / 4 = 1.25.

The z-score of 1.25 corresponds to an area of 0.8944 to the left under a standard table of normal distribution. To get the area to the right (which represents the students who improved by >15), we subtract this from 1. So, 1 - 0.8944 = 0.1056 or 10.56% students improved by more than 15 points.
