If scores on an exam follow an approximately normal distribution with a mean of 76.4 and a standard deviation of 6.1 points, then the minimum score you would need to be in the top 2% is equal to 88.929.

A problem of this type in mathematics can be characterized as a normal distribution problem. We can use the z-score to solve it by using the formula;

Z = x - μ / σ

In this formula the standard score is represented by Z, the observed value is represented by x, the mean is represented by μ, and the standard deviation is represented by σ.

The p-value can be used to determine the z-score with the help of a standard table.

As we have to find the minimum score to be in the top 2%, p-value = 0.02

The z-score that is found to correspond with this p-value of 0.02 in the standard table is 2.054

Therefore,

2.054 = x - 76.4 ÷ 6.1

2.054 × 6.1 = x - 76.4

12.529 = x - 76.4

12.529 + 76.4 = x

x = 88.929

Hence 88.929 is calculated to be the lowest score required to be in the top 2%.

<h3>Answer: Choice C.  (-x, -y)</h3>

Explanation:

Focus on one point, such as A = (1,2). Note how it moves to point A ' = (-1, -2). Both x and y coordinates have been flipped from positive to negative. The rule therefore is (x,y) \to (-x,-y). This describes a 180 degree rotation (either clockwise or counterclockwise, it doesn't matter). Points B and C follow the same idea.

Side note: Lines AA', BB' and CC' all go through the origin (0,0).

Find the measures of the numbered angles in the isosceles trapezoid.<br> I need help ASP
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

  ∠1 = 50°

  ∠2 = ∠3 = 130°

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles trapezoid, such as this one, the angles at either end of a base are congruent:

  ∠1 ≅ 50°

  ∠2 ≅ ∠3

The theorems applicable to transversals and parallel lines also apply to the sides joining the parallel bases. In particular, "consecutive interior angles are supplementary." That is, angles 1 and 2 are supplementary, for example.

  ∠2 = 180° -∠1 = 180° -50° = 130°

We already know angle 3 is congruent to this.

  ∠1 = 50°

  ∠2 = ∠3 = 130°

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

It can be easier to see the congruence of the base angles if you remove the length of the shorter base from both bases. This collapses the figure to an isosceles triangle and makes it obvious that the base angles are congruent.

Alternatively, you can drop an altitude to the longer base from each end of the shorter base. That will create two congruent right triangles at either end of the figure. Those will have congruent corresponding angles.
