Suppose ACT Reading scores are normally distributed with a mean of 21 and a standard deviation of 6.2. A university plans to admit students whose scores are in the top 30%. What is the minimum score required for admission

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

24.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum admission score is at the 70th percentile of the normal distribution which, according to a z-score table, corresponds to a z-score of 0.524.

The z-score, for any given value X, is determined by:

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

If the mean score is 21 and the standard distribution is 6.2, the minimum required score for admission is:

[tex]0.524=\frac{X-21}{6.2}\\X=24.25[/tex]

The minimum score required for admission is 24.25.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first step, they added 28 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -28 on the left side. Next, they subtracted 4x from both sides to get rid of the 4x on the left side. They are doing this so that they can isolate y on one side. Isolating y basically means that you need to get all of the y terms on one side and all of the non-y terms on the other side. Next, they divided the entire equation by 8 to get rid of the 8 in 8y. Finally, since y and f(x) are the same thing, they simply substituted f(x) for y.

Will mark Brainlist

Answers

Answer:

12 gallons per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Start time of flight = 9:30 a.m

Arrival time of flight = 1:45p.m

Gallons of gas used during duration of flight = 51 gallons

Number of hours spent during flight:

Arrival time - start time

1:45 pm - 9:30 am = 4hours and 15minutes

4hours 15minutes = 4.25hours

If 4.25hours requires 51 gallons of gas;

Then 1 hour will require ( 51 / 4.25)gallons

= 51 / 4.25

= 12 gallons

A school has 6 3/4 kg of detergent in stock. During ' Use Your Hands ' campaign, each class will be given 3/8 kg of detergent. There are 28 classes in the school.
(a) What fraction of the school will be supplied with the detergent in stock?
(b) How much detergent will be required altogether for the whole school?
(c) How much more detergent does the school need to order?
(d) If the school gives out the detergent in stock to the 15 lower secondary classes first,
(i) how much detergent will be given out;
(ii) how much detergent in stock will be left?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total stock available = 6 x 3/4 = 18/4

Detergent given to each class=3/8

Total number of classes in the school = 28

Total detergent required by the school=3/8*28

=42/4

a. Fraction if the school who will get the detergent=18/42

b. Total required detergent for the whole school= 42/4

c. School needs to order = 42/4 - 18/4  

= 24/4

= 6

d. i. Detergent given out to 15 classes = 15 x 3/8

= 45/8

ii. There will be no detergent left in stock

Tucker is painting his pool deck over the weekend. The area of the deck is 76 1 2 square meters. He paints 2 3 of the deck before stopping to eat lunch. How many square meters does Tucker have left to paint after lunch?

Answers

Answer:

25 1/2 square meters remaining

Step-by-step explanation:

Total area of the pool deck=76 1/2 square meters

He painted 2/3 of the deck before stopping for lunch

Total painted=2/3 of 76 1/2

=2/3*153/2

=306/6

=51 square meters

Total remaining=Total area - total painted area

=76 1/2 - 51

=153/2 - 51

=153-102/2

Answers

Answer: Graph is shown in the attached image below

This is a V shaped graph with the vertex at (3,0). The V opens upward

Explanation:

The equation y = |x-3| is the result of shifting the parent function y = |x| three units to the right. The vertex moves from (0,0) to (3,0). The "x-3" portion moves the xy axis three units to the left. If we held the V shape in place while the xy axis moved like this, then it gives the illusion the V shape moved 3 spots to the right.

Side note: the equation y = |x-3| is composed of two linear functions y = x-3 and y = -x+3. The value of x will determine which gets graphed. When x < 3, then we'll graph y = -x+3; otherwise we graph y = x-3. This is known as a piecewise function.

Determine the money factor for a lease with an interest rate of 9%

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The money factor for a lease is used to determine how much is charged monthly on a lease payment. If the money factor is low, the lease payment is low making it a good transaction but if the money factor is high, the lease payment is also high and this is not desirable. The money factor is given by:

Money factor = Interest rate / 2400

Given an interest rate of 9%, the money factor is calculated as:

Money factor = Interest rate / 2400 = 9% / 2400 = 0.00375

 

PLEASEEEEEE HELPPPPP Which of the following is the surface area of the right cylinder below?

Explanation:

The surface area refers to the sum of the area of all sides in a 3D shape such as a cube or cylinder. Additionally, the formula used to calculate the surface area varies with the shape. In the case of cylinders, the general formula is [tex]A = 2\pi r h + 2\pi r^{2}[/tex]. Moreover in this, the r represents the radius (measure from the center of a circle to any side), while the h represents height. Below, all the process is shown:

[tex]A = 2\pi r h + 2\pi r^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 2\pi (8 x 3) + 2\pi 8^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 2\pi 24 + 2\pi 64[/tex]

[tex]A = 48\pi + 128\pi[/tex]

A square and a regular heptagon are coplanar and share a common side $\overline{AD}$, as shown. What is the degree measure of exterior angle $BAC$? Express your answer as a common fraction.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\angle BAC = 141\frac{3}{7} ^{\circ}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angle of a regular heptagon = = 900/7° = 128.57°

Therefore, angle DAB = 128.57°

The interior angle of the square = 90°

Therefore, angle DAC = 90°

Therefore, we have

angle DAB+ angle DAC + angle BAC = 360° (sum of angles at a point (A))

Angle BAC = 360° - angle DAB - angle DAC =  360° - 900/7° - 90° = 990/7°

Angle BAC = 141.43°

Expressing 141.43° as a common fraction gives;

[tex]141.43 ^{\circ}= \dfrac{990}{7} ^{\circ}=141\frac{3}{7} ^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\angle BAC = 141\frac{3}{7} ^{\circ}[/tex]

 The degree measure of exterior angle BAC is [tex]141\frac{3}{7}^\circ[/tex]

Given, A square and a regular heptagon are coplanar as shown in below figure attached.

We have find the exterior angle of BAC.

We know that, The formula that gives the interior angle measure for a regular polygon with any number of sides is,

[tex]\frac{180(n-2)}{n}[/tex]  where n is the number of sides.  

Since the heptagon has 7 no. of sides.

So regular heptagon's interior angle measures,

[tex]\frac{180(7-2)}{7}=128\frac{4}{7}[/tex]

Hence [tex]\angle A[/tex] will be[tex]128\frac{4}{7}[/tex] degrees.

We know that a square's interior angle is 90 degrees and a heptagon's interior angle is  128.57 degrees. We will subtract those from 360 degrees to find angle BAC.

[tex]\angle BAC = 360 - (\angle A + 90)\\[/tex]

[tex]\angle BAC = 360 - (128\frac{4}{7} + 90)\\\angle BAC=141\frac{3}{7} ^\circ[/tex]

Hence the degree measure of exterior angle BAC is [tex]141\frac{3}{7}^\circ[/tex].
