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.

Answer:

  • 1 pound- $4.7
  • 2 pounds- $9.4
  • 3 pounds- $14.1
  • 4 pounds- $18.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Just hardware's prices are 0.30 greater per pound, so the equation would be y=4.7x. Substitute x in for each of the values to get the prices above.

How to do this question
blsea [12.9K]
This is a 3 step problem. First you ignore the hole in the middle and find the volume anyways. Then you find the volume of the empty middle part. Then you can find the volume of the actual shape by subtracting them. 
area of a circle is= pi r^2
Volume with hole: 5*5*pi*8=200pi
Volume of hole= 1.5*1.5*pi*8= 18pi
Volume of doughnut = 200pi-18pi=182pi=571.769863u^3

r is the radius which is half of the diameter. 
pi is a big number but you can use 3.14
the formula for finding the volume is area of base times height. That's why i multiplied it by 8.]

I hope this helps

The sum of 14 and a number is equal to 17
-Dominant- [34]
The sum of 14 and a number  is 14+x

we know that this equals 17, so: 14+x=17. 

Let's substract 14 from both sides: 

x=17-14

x=3

so the number is 3.

What is the first term of the expression?<br><br><br> −6xyz + 9xy + 12x + 18y <br><br> TIA!
tatyana61 [14]

For this case we have that by definition:

  • <em>The terms of a polynomial expression are those that are composed of coefficients and variables separated by signs of addition and subtraction. </em>

We then have the following expression:

-6xyz + 9xy + 12x + 18y

According to the definition, we can conclude that the first term is given by:

-6xyz

Answer:

The first term of the expression is:

-6xyz
