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.

Which graph represents the inequality 3y-5x&lt;-6? <br>​
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

First Graph

Step-by-step explanation:

3y-5x<-6

3y<5x-6

y<5/3x-6/3

y<5/3x-2

plug in the coordinates (0,0)

0<0-2

0<-2

0 is not less than -2

therefore the graph would be shaded opposite of (0,0)

Write an equation of the line that passes through (2 -5) and is parallel to the line 2y=3x+10
andrey2020 [161]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is

2y = 3x + 10

3x - 2y + 10 = 0 .....i)

Any line parallel to line I) is

3x - 2y + k = 0 ......ii)

As the line two passes through the point ( 2 , - 5 ) Now substituting the values

3 * 2 - 2 * ( - 5) + k = 0

6 + 10 + k = 0

16 + k = 0

k = - 16

Now putting the value of k in equation two

3x - 2y + 16 = 0 is the required equation.

Hope it will help :)❤

Can the ratio of a parent's age to his or her child's age ever be exactly 10 : 9 ?
slega [8]
Mathematically, yes.
Realistically, no.
The difference in their ages is the parent's age when the child was born.
Let's say that the youngest possible is 12.
Then the ratio would be 10:9 when the parent is 120 and the child is 108.
Not likely.

Which term describes the angle pair &lt;1 and &lt;4 . A.Right angle B. Supplementary Angle C. Complementary angle D. Vertical an
vredina [299]
<h3>Answer: Vertical angles</h3>

Explanation:

Ignore the ray that angles 2 and 3 are adjacent to. It might help to copy the drawing but erase that ray in question. All we really care about is the X shape the two lines form along with angles 1 and 4. These two angles are opposite one another. We consider them vertical angles. They don't have to align vertically. They simply have to be opposite one another like this in this X configuration. Vertical angles are always congruent to one another.
