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

1. 3x - 2y = 0 => y = 3/2x
4x + 2y = 14<=> 4x + 2*(3/2x) = 14<=> 7x = 14<=> x = 2 & y = 3

list M and n are the zeros of the polynomial 3x square + 11 x minus 4 then find the value of m divided n plus n dividedm​
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x²+11x-4

when splitting the middle term

it becomes

3x²+12x-1x-4

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

(3x-1)(x+4)

either 3x-1=0 then x=1/3

or x+4=0 then x= -4

m=1/3

n=-4

therefore

value of m divided n plus n dividedm​=1.25

hope this helps plzz mar me brainliest
