Answer:
a) 6.68th percentile
b) 617.5 points
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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:
a) A student who scored 400 on the Math SAT was at the ______ th percentile of the score distribution.
has a pvalue of 0.0668
So this student is in the 6.68th percentile.
b) To be at the 75th percentile of the distribution, a student needed a score of about ______ points on the Math SAT.
He needs a score of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.75. So X when Z = 0.675.
1. I'm assumig that the paths are perfect parabolas
this means that their general forms can be written in
it's easier to find vertex form first then expand to get general form
vertex form is where the vertex is (h,k) and a is a constant
firework #1
vertex is (10,50), so (h,k)=(10,50) and h=10, k=50
to find the value of , subsitute another point
(0,0)
so the equation in vertex form is
expand to get general form
2.
same as last time
vertex is (10,72) so (h,k)=(10,72) so h=10 and k=72
equation is
find
use another point
(0,22)
so the equation in vertex form is
3.
range is the numbers that h is allowed to be
think about what h represents. it represents the height of the rocket
from the graph, we can see that the lowest possible height is 0yd and the highest height is 50yd
so range is 0 to 50 or 0≤h≤50
domain is the numbers that t is allowed to be
think about what t represents. it represents how long the rocket has been flying
it will stop flying when it hits the ground or at t=20
it starts flying at t=0
so domain is from 0 to 20 or 0≤t≤20
