A group of church members chartered a bus for $832. After making the arrangements, 6 more members decided to join the excursion

and pay their fair share of the cost of the bus. The cost per person was reduced by $6. Find the original number of church members in the group and the original cost per member.

Let x = # of original members
Cost per person (originally) = 832/x
Cost per person after 6 more people = 832/(x+6)
Solve 832/x=832/(x+6) +6  (because the cost was reduced by 6 
Solve for x.
x = 26 or -32 (but x is number of members, so it can't be negative)
# of original members is 26.
Original cost is 832/26 = $32 per person.

If you have 2 2/3 cups of cheese if you make three times more how maney cups would you need
Sedbober [7]
You would need about 8 cups more. If you make 2 2/3 a improper fraction and then multiply it by three, you would get 24/3, which is eight in simplest form.

The walls are vertical so the angle opposite X would be a right angle which is 90 degrees.

X would be 180 - 90 - 35 = 55 degrees

X and 2y - 5 are complementary angles which add together to equal 90:

2y - 5 + 55 = 90

Simplify:

2y +50 = 90

Subtract 50 from both sides:

2y = 40

Divide both sides by 2:

y = 20

Suppose that the national average for the math portion of the College Board's SAT is 515. The College Board periodically rescale
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

a) 16% of students have an SAT math score greater than 615.

b) 2.5% of students have an SAT math score greater than 715.

c) 34% of students have an SAT math score between 415 and 515.

d) Z = 1.05

e) Z = -1.10

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the empirical rule.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed 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.

Empirical rule

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 515, \sigma = 100

(a) What percentage of students have an SAT math score greater than 615?

615 is one standard deviation above the mean.

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean. The other 32% are more than 1 standard deviation from the mean. The normal probability distribution is symmetric. So of those 32%, 16% are more than 1 standard deviation above the mean and 16% more then 1 standard deviation below the mean.

So, 16% of students have an SAT math score greater than 615.

(b) What percentage of students have an SAT math score greater than 715?

715 is two standard deviations above the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean. The other 5% are more than 2 standard deviations from the mean. The normal probability distribution is symmetric. So of those 5%, 2.5% are more than 2 standard deviations above the mean and 2.5% more then 2 standard deviations below the mean.

So, 2.5% of students have an SAT math score greater than 715.

(c) What percentage of students have an SAT math score between 415 and 515?

415 is one standard deviation below the mean.

515 is the mean

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean. The normal probability distribution is symmetric, which means that of these 68%, 34% are within 1 standard deviation below the mean and the mean, and 34% are within the mean and 1 standard deviation above the mean.

So, 34% of students have an SAT math score between 415 and 515.

(d) What is the z-score for student with an SAT math score of 620?

We have that:

\mu = 515, \sigma = 100

This is Z when X = 620. So

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

Z = \frac{620 - 515}{100}

Z = 1.05

(e) What is the z-score for a student with an SAT math score of 405?

We have that:

\mu = 515, \sigma = 100

This is Z when X = 405. So

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

Z = \frac{405 - 515}{100}

Z = -1.10
