In 1982 Abby’s mother scored at the 93rd percentile in the math SAT exam. In 1982 the mean score was 503 and the variance of the

scores was 9604. In 2008 Abby took the math SAT and got the same numerical score as her mother had received 26 years before. In 2008 the mean score was 521 and the variance of the scores was 10,201. Math SAT scores are normally distributed.

Answer:

The percentle for Abby's score was the 89.62nd percentile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation(which is the square root of the variance) \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Abby's mom score:

93rd percentile in the math SAT exam. In 1982 the mean score was 503 and the variance of the scores was 9604.

93rd percentile. X when Z has a pvalue of 0.93. So X when Z = 1.476.

\mu = 503, \sigma = \sqrt{9604} = 98

So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.476 = \frac{X - 503}{98}

X - 503 = 1.476*98

X = 648

Abby's score

She scored 648.

\mu = 521 \sigma = \sqrt{10201} = 101

So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{648 - 521}{101}

Z = 1.26

Z = 1.26 has a pvalue of 0.8962.

The percentle for Abby's score was the 89.62nd percentile.

Jen Butler has been pricing​ Speed-Pass train fares for a group trip to New York. Three adults and four children must pay $ 79.
xxMikexx [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

Price of the​ adult's ticket = $13

Price of a​ child's ticket = $ 10

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given:

Cost of train fares for Three adults and four children = $79

Cost of train fares Two adults and three children  = $ 56

To Find:

Price of the​ adult's ticket and the price of a​ child's ticket =?

Solution:

Let the cost of one adult's ticket be x  and

Let the cost of one child's ticket be y

Then

Three adults and four children must pay $ 79 be

3x + 4y = 79-----------------------------------------------(1)

Two adults and three children must pay $56

2x + 3y = 56----------------------------------------------(2)

multiply  eq(1) by 2, we get

6x + 8y = 158----------------------(3)

multiply  eq(2) by 3, we get

6x + 9y = 168----------------------(4)

Subracting (3) from (4)

 6x + 9y = 168

 6x + 8y = 158

(-)      (-)       (-)

------------------------------

0x +  y = 10

------------------------------

y=10

Now substitute the value of y in eq (1) to get the value of x

3x + 4(10)= 79

3x +  40 = 79

3x = 79 - 40

3x = 39

x = \frac{39}{3}

x= 13
