Answer:

29.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = 21.4

Standard deviation = 5.9%

The minimum score required for the scholarship which is the scores of the top 9% is calculated using the Z - Score Formula.

The Z- score formula is given as:

z = x - μ /σ

Z score ( z) is determined by checking the z score percentile of the normal distribution

In the question we are told that it is the students who scores are in the top 9%

The top 9% is determined by finding the z score of the 91st percentile on the normal distribution

z score of the 91st percentile = 1.341

Using the formula

z = x - μ /σ

Where

z = z score of the 91st percentile = 1.341

μ = mean = 21.4

σ = Standard deviation = 5.9

1.341= x - 21.4 / 5.9

Cross multiply

1.341 × 5.9 = x - 21.4

7.7526 = x -21.4

x = 7.7526 + 21.4

x = 29.1526

The 91st percentile is at the score of 29.1526.

We were asked in the question to round up to the nearest tenth.

Approximately, = 29.2

The minimum score required for the scholarship to the nearest tenth is 29.2 .

In the distribution, the first quartile,median and mean are 30.8,48.5 and 42.0 respectively. If the co efficient skewness is -0.
finlep [7]

Answer:

The third quartile is 56.45

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The first quartile, Q₁ = 30.8

The median or second quartile, Q₂ = 48.5

The mean, \bar x = 42.0

Coefficient of skewness = -0.38

The Bowley's coefficient of skewness (SK) is given as follows;

SK = \dfrac{Q_3 + Q_1 - 2 \times Q_2}{Q_3 - Q_1}

Plugging in the values, we have;

-0.38 = \dfrac{Q_3 + 30.8 - 2 \times 48.5}{Q_3 - 30.8}

Which gives;

-0.38×(Q₃ - 30.8) = Q₃ + 30.8 - 2 × 48.5

11.704 - 0.38·Q₃ = Q₃ - 66.2

1.38·Q₃ = 11.704 + 66.2 =  77.904

Q₃ = 56.45

The third quartile = 56.45.

Kyra has a rock collection.When she puts her rocks into 2 equal piles,there are no rocks left over.When she puts her rocks into
liubo4ka [24]

any multiple of 12

Since 2, 3 and 4 divide exactly into the number of rocks

We are looking for the common multiples of 2, 3 and 4

2 × 3 × 4 = 24 is possible but dividing by 2 gives 12 the lowest common multiple

Any multiple of 12 gives a possible number of rocks.

Sergio039 [100]
We are given D (7, -3) and D'(2, 5).

SAppy the transformation
D'(x,y) → D(x-5, y+8).
Then

Help me with this pleassssseeeedeeeeeeee..

We’re told that QR and RS are equal, so this is an isosceles triangle.

Meaning the two base angles must also be equal

Using this information, we know that the third angle must be 180 - (22 + 22), since the angles in a triangle add up to 180
