Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take a real situation. Suppose he has 1500 books in total

2/3 of them are fiction. Of means multiply.

them = 1500

2/3 * 1500 = 3000/3 = 1000

Now of the one thousand fiction books 4/5 of them are mysteries.

4/5 * 1000 = 4000/5 = 800.

Now let's see what happens when we just do this by answering the question directly.

2/3 * 4/5 = 8/15 This has the meaning that 8 out of every 15 books = mysteries.

Try this on the 1500 books.

8/15 * 1500 = 9000/15 = 800. So the answers are the same and the answer the computer expects should be 8/15 or 0.533333333

Just to check, does 0.5333333 * 1500 = 800? Try it.

= 25/4 * 12/7
= 300/28 = 150/14 = 75/7

In short, Your Answer would be 75/7 or 10 5/7 Pounds

5. Based on recent results, scores on the SAT test are normally distributed with a mean of 1511 and a standard deviation of 312.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The actual SAT score is 2024.

The equivalent ACT score is 29.49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

SAT score that is in the 95th percentile

Scores on the SAT test are normally distributed with a mean of 1511 and a standard deviation of 312, which means that \mu = 1511, \sigma = 312

95th percentile is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95, so X when Z = 1.645. The score is:

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

1.645 = \frac{X - 1511}{312}

X - 1511 = 1.645*312

X = 2024

The actual SAT score is 2024.

Equivalent ACT score:

The equivalent ACT score is the 95th percentile of ACT scores.

Scores on the ACT test are normally distributed with a mean of 21.1 and a standard deviation of 5.1, which means that \mu = 21.1, \sigma = 5.1. So

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

1.645 = \frac{X - 21.1}{5.1}

X - 21.1 = 1.645*5.1

X = 29.49

The equivalent ACT score is 29.49.
