A teacher gives a test to a large group of students. The results are closely approximated by a normal curve. The mean is 74​, wi

th a standard deviation of 8. The teacher wishes to give​ A's to the top 8​% of the students and​ F's to the bottom 8​%. A grade of B is given to the next 16​%, with​ D's given similarly. All other students get​ C's. Find the bottom cutoff for a grade of C.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a teacher  gives a test to a large group of students. The results are closely approximated by a normal curve

mu =74 and sigma =8

A grade starts from 100-8 = 92nd percentile

Z score for 92nd percentile = 1.405

X score = 74+8(1.405) = 85.24

--------------------

B cut off is to next 16%

Hence C would start for scores below 100-(8+16) = 76%

76th percentile = 0.705*8+74 =79.64

Solve 5h + 2(11 - h) = -5 (Find h. Explain each step please.)
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

h = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the 2 to the parentheses:

5h + 2(11 - h) = -5

5h + 22 - 2h = -5

Add like terms:

3h + 22 = -5

3h = -27

h = -9

R leaks out of a barrel so that the rate of change in the water level is proportional to the square root of the depth of the wat
Irina-Kira [14]
Let y(t) represent the level of water in inches at time t in hours. Then we are given ...
  y'(t) = k√(y(t)) . . . . for some proportionality constant k
  y(0) = 30
  y(1) = 29

We observe that a function of the form
  y(t) = a(t - b)²
will have a derivative that is proportional to y:
  y'(t) = 2a(t -b)

We can find the constants "a" and "b" from the given boundary conditions.
At t=0
  30 = a(0 -b)²
  a = 30/b²
At t=1
  29 = a(1 - b)² . . . . . . . . . substitute for t
  29 = 30(1 - b)²/b² . . . . . substitute for a
  29/30 = (1/b -1)² . . . . . . divide by 30
  1 -√(29/30) = 1/b . . . . . . square root, then add 1 (positive root yields extraneous solution)
  b = 30 +√870 . . . . . . . . simplify

The value of b is the time it takes for the height of water in the tank to become 0. It is 30+√870 hours ≈ 59 hours 29 minutes 45 seconds
