Raw scores on standardized tests are often transformed for easier comparison. A test of reading ability has a mean of 75 and a s

tandard deviation of 10 when given to third-graders. Sixth-graders have a mean score of 82 and a standard deviation of 11 on the same test.
What percent of sixth-graders earn a score of at least 93 on the reading test?

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 3.59% of sixth-graders earn a score of at least 93 on the reading test.

-------------------------

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula, which is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • \mu is the mean.
  • \sigma is the standard deviation.
  • It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. Each z-score has a p-value associated with it.
  • 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

  • On the reading test, the mean is of 75, thus \mu = 75.
  • The standard deviation is of 10, thus \sigma = 10.
  • The proportion who scored above 93 is <u>1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 93</u>, thus:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{93 - 75}{10}

Z = 1.8

Z = 1.8 has a p-value of 0.9641.

1 - 0.9641 = 0.0359.

0.0359 x 100% = 3.59%

3.59% of sixth-graders earn a score of at least 93 on the reading test.

What expressions equal to 1 forth of 52
Klio2033 [76]
Remember that x/4 and 1/4*x is the same thing.

1/4*52 is therefore the same as 52/4. Fractions represent division, so 52 divided by 4 is also correct.
0.25*x is the same as 1/4*x because 1/4=0.25
4% of 52 is incorrect because the decimal form of 4% is 0.04, which is not the same as 0.25

Final answer: B

Solve the compound inequality,
Feliz [49]

Answer:

\large\boxed{y\in(-6,\ \infty)}

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)\\2y-2>-14\qquad\text{add 2 to both sides}\\\\2y-2+2>-14+2\\\\2y>-12\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2y}{2}>\dfrac{-12}{2}\\\\y>-6

(2)\\\\4y-4\geq12\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\\\4y-4+4\geq12+4\\\\4y\geq16\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\\dfrac{4y}{4}\geq\dfrac{16}{4}\\\\y\geq4

\text{From (1) and (2) we have:}\\\\y>-6\ or\ y\geq4\to y\in(-6,\ \infty)\ \cup\ [4,\ \infty)\Rightarrow y\in(-6,\ \infty)
