The mean and standard deviation of the scores are 75 and 9.5 respectively.

The z-score is a means to find the probability of getting a particular score. This is calculated to be:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

where x is the score, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

To be a part of the top 2.5 percent, the probability is:

P=\frac{2.5}{100}=0.025

The z-score for this probability, that is, P

Answer:

h  =  16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras´ theorem establishes, that in a right triangle square of the hypothenuse (c²) is the sum of leg ( b²)  plus  leg  (a²)

Then

c²  =  a²  +  b²

where according to the problem statement

(20)²  =  h²  +  (12)²           (  h is the height of the flagpole )

h²  =  400 -  144

h²  =  256

h  =  √ 256

h  =  16 feet
