Last week, Sarah had exams in math and in Spanish. On the math exam, the mean was µ = 30 with Ï = 5, and Sarah had a score of X

= 45. On the Spanish exam, the mean was µ = 60 with Ï = 8, and Sarah had a score of X = 68. For which class should Sara expect the better grade?
A. There is not enough information to determine which is the better grade.
B. Spanish
C. Math

Answer:

For which class should Sara expect the better grade?

C. Math

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

For this case we can use the z score formula in order to find the position and the probability would represent the percentile for each case.

Math Exam

X \sim N(\mu=30,\sigma=5)

z= \frac{45-30}{5}=3

P(X

So the score is on the 99 percentile approximated.

Spanish Exam

X \sim N(\mu=60,\sigma=8)

z= \frac{68-60}{8}=1

P(X

So the score is on the 84 percentile approximated.

So we can see that the percentile is higher for the Math class so then the best answer would be:

For which class should Sara expect the better grade?

C. Math

A store is selling lemons at 2 for $3. Each lemon yields 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. How much will it cost to buy enough lemon
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

It will cost $6 to buy enough lemons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

To make a 9-inch lemon pie requiring 1/2 cup of lemon juice.

1 cup = 16 tablespoons

1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons

That means we only need 8 tablespoons.

Each lemon yields 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.

Number of lemon required = 8 ÷ 2 = 4

That means we need only 4 lemon.

Store is selling lemons at 2 for $3 that means 4 lemons for $6.

Hence, it will cost $6 to buy enough lemons.

A round wading pool has a diameter of 115cm deep. A hose is filling the pool at a rate of 34000cm^3, cubed per minute. How long
inn [45]

Answer:

It will take 6.118 minutes to fill up the pool to a depth of 20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to calculate the volume of the wading pool.

we will assume it is a cylinder, hence the volume will be = \pi r^{2}h

<em>Where r= radius of the pool = 115/2 = 57.5cm</em>

<em>h = depth of the pool =20 cm</em>

The volume of the pool will be \pi \times57.5^{2} \times 20 =2.08 \times 10^{5} cm ^{3}

We are filling a pool of 208,000cm ^{3} at the rate of 34000cm^3, cubed per minute.

To get the time it will take to fill up the pool, we will have to divide as follows:

208,000cm ^{3} / 34000cm^3 =6.118 minutes

Therefore it will take 6.118 minutes to fill up the pool to a depth of 20 cm

You first divide 40 by 19:

19/40=?

Then you convert that to percentage by dropping the decimal point and attaching a %

(hint: you should get 48% about :)
