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.

In AEFG, F = 61 inches, ZF=79º and ZG=34°. Find the length of g, to the nearest<br> 10th of an inch.
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

  g ≈ 34.7 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of sines is useful for this:

  f/sin(F) = g/sin(G)

Multiplying by sin(G), we have ...

  g = f·sin(G)/sin(F) = (61 in)·sin(34°)/sin(79°)

  g ≈ 34.7 in
