Answer:

50% of the scores were above 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed(bell-shaped) samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 75, \sigma = 5

What percent of the scores were above 75?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 75. So

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

Z = \frac{75 - 75}{5}

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a pvalue of 0.5

1 - 0.5 = 0.5

50% of the scores were above 75

The radius of one sphere is twice as great as the radius of a second sphere. Find the ratio of their volumes.
Juliette [100K]
The ratio of the radii is 2:1, so the ratio of their surface areas is 4:1. <span>The area of a sphere is defined by 4 * pi * r^2 </span>

<span>So if the radius of the first sphere is 2r, then it would be (2r)^2 = 4r^2 </span>

<span>The rest is the same. So the ratio of their surface areas would be </span>

<span>4 * pi * 4r^2 divided by </span>
<span>4 * pi * r^2 </span>

<span>or 4.</span>

3 out of 5 picks are orange. if 12 picks are orange haw many picks are in all
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

There were 20 picks total

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a proportion to solve this problem.  Put the orange picks on top and the total picks on bottom

3 orange         12 orange

-------------- =   ---------------

5 total                x total

Using cross products

3x = 5*12

3x= 60

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 60/3

x = 20

There were 20 picks total
