4. Professor Kingsfield's class follows very strict grading guidelines. Assume that student averages in Kingsfield's class are n

ormally distributed with a mean fo 62 points and a standard deviation of 12 points. Professor Kingsfield wants letter grades in his class to have a very specific distribution: 68 percent of students get Cs, 13.5 percent get Ds, 13.5 percent get Bs, 2.5 perent receive Fs, and the top 2.5 percent get As. What should be the numeric range for each letter grade

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>For grade A ,a student needs Z score of 2 or above, the required score is</em>

<em> X = 68 + 12Z =92, For grade B, a student needs Z score between 1 and 2 . </em>

<em> The required score is = 68 + (12 * 1) < X = 68 + ( 12 * 2) = 80 < X < 92, For grade C ,a student needs Z score between -1 and 1 . The  required score is = 68 + ( 12 * x - 1) < X = 68 + (12 * x 1) = 56 <X<80. For the  grade D, a student needs Z score between -2 and -1 . </em>

<em> The required score is = 68 + (12 * x -2) < X = 68 + (12 * x -1) = 44< X< 56</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>From the given question, </em>

<em>let the rv X represent student's score.</em>

<em>Z = x - 68/12  ~ N (0,1 )</em>

<em>Now, we know for a standard normal distribution</em>

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>For grade A ,a student needs Z score of 2 or above, the required score is</em>

<em> X = 68 + 12Z =92</em>

<em>For grade B, a student needs Z score between 1 and 2 . </em>

<em> The required score is = 68 + (12 * 1) < X = 68 + ( 12 * 2) = 80 < X < 92</em>

<em>For grade C ,a student needs Z score between -1 and 1 . </em>

<em> The  required score is = 68 + ( 12 * x - 1) < X = 68 + (12 * x 1) = 56 <X<80</em>

<em>For the  grade D, a student needs Z score between -2 and -1 . </em>

<em> The required score is = 68 + (12 * x -2) < X = 68 + (12 * x -1) = 44< X< 56</em>

<em>For student  with score less 44 gets an F.</em>

<em>Note: find an attached image for the graphic sketch of the normal distribution.</em>

The Big Ben clocktower in London is approximately 316 feet tall. Shana is standing nearby and notices that she casts a 4-foot sh
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The length of Big Ben shadow is 252.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of the Big Ben clocktower in London ≈ 316 feet tall

The length of the shadow Shana casts = 4-foot

The height of Shania = 5 feet

Therefore, we have, by similar triangles;

\dfrac{The \ length \ of \ the \ shadow \ Shana \ casts }{The \ height \ of \ Shania} = \dfrac{The \ length \ of \ the \ shadow \ The \ Big \ Ben  \ casts}{The \ height \ of \ the \ Big \ Ben \ clocktower}Substituting the values, gives;

\dfrac{4 \ feet}{5 \ feet} = \dfrac{The \ length \ of \ the \ shadow \ The \ Big \ Ben  \ casts}{316 \ feet}

The \, length \, of \, the \, shadow \, The \, Big \, Ben \ clocktower \ casts  = 316 \ feet \times   \dfrac{4 \ feet}{5 \ feet}  = 252.8 \ feet

The length of the shadow The Big Ben clocktower casts = The length of Big Ben shadow = 252.8 feet
