Since we want just the top 20% applicants and the data is normally distributed, we can use a z-score table to check the z-score that gives this percentage.

The z-score table usually shows the percentage for the values below a certain z-score, but since the whole distribution accounts to 100%, we can do the following.

We want a z* such that:

P(z>z^*)=0.20

But, to use a value that is in a z-score table, we do the following:

\begin{gathered} P(zz^*)=1 \\ P(zz^*)=1-0.20=0.80 \end{gathered}

So, we want a z-score that give a percentage of 80% for the value below it.

Using the z-score table or a z-score calculator, we can see that:

\begin{gathered} P(zNow that we have the z-score cutoff, we can convert it to the score cutoff by using:[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\Longrightarrow x=z\sigma+\mu

Where z is the z-score we have, μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation, so:

\begin{gathered} x=0.8416\cdot9+64 \\ x=7.5744.64 \\ x=71.5744\cong72 \end{gathered}

so, the cutoff score is approximately 72.

If BE = 2x + 2, BD = 5x – 3, and AE = 4x – 6, what are the values of x and AC?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer: x=7 and AC = 44 unuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. (i)

Here in parallelogram ABCD , AC and Bd are diagonals intersecting at E.

BE = 2x + 2, BD = 5x – 3, and AE = 4x – 6

Using (i)

BE=\dfrac{BD}{2}\\\\2x+2=\dfrac{5x-3}{2}\\\\ 2(2x+2)=5x-3\\\\ 4x+4= 5x-3\\\\ 5x-4x=4+3\\\\ x= 7

Now , AE = 4(7)-6 = 28-6 = 22

AC =2 AE = 2 (22) =44 units.

Hence, x=7 and AC = 44 unuts.
