2. Vereenvoudig die volgende uitdrukkings deur gebruik te maak van sigma-notasie:
Simplify the following expressions by using the rules of sigma notation:
m m m
(a) ∑ (6 xi + 3 yi ) = 6∑ xi + 3∑ yi
i =1 i =1 i =1
 n n
(b) ∑ (4 x j
− 2) = 4 ∑ x j − 2 n

4. A set of 340 examination scores exhibiting a bell-shaped relative frequency distribution

has a mean of y = 72 and a standard deviation of s = 8 . Approximately how many of
the scores would you expect to fall in the interval from:
‘n Stel van 340 eksamenpunte wat ‘n klokvormige relatiewe frekwensieverdeling het, het
‘n gemiddeld van y = 72 en ‘n standaarafwyking van s = 8 . Benaderd hoeveel van die
punte sal jy verwag om te val in die interval van:

(a) 64 to / tot 80?

68% of 340=231
(i.e. within one standard deviation from the mean)

(b) 56 to / tot 88?

95% of 340=323
(i.e. within two standard deviations from the mean)
