Answer:

Mean = 78.2

Standard deviation = 5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically z-score;

= (x-mean)/SD

From the question;

12% of test scores were above 85

Thus;

P( x > 85) = 12%

P(x > 85) = 0.12

Now let’s get the z-score that has a probability of 0.12

This can be obtained from the standard normal distribution table and it is = 1.175

Thus;

1.175 = (85 - mean)/SD

let’s call the mean a and the SD b

1.175 = (85-a)/b

1.175b = 85 - a

a = 85 - 1.175b ••••••••(i)

Secondly 8% of scores were below 70

Let’s find the z-score corresponding to this proportion;

We use the standard normal distribution table as usual;

P( x < 70) = 0.08

z-score = -1.405

Thus;

-1.405 =( 70-a)/b

-1.405b = 70-a

a = 70 + 1.405b ••••••(ii)

Equate the two a

70 + 1.405b = 85 - 1.175b

85 -70 = 1.405b + 1.175b

15 = 2.58b

b = 15/2.58

b = 5.81

a = 70 + 1.405b

a = 70 + 1.405(5.81)

a = 78.16

So mean = 78.2 and Standard deviation is 5.8

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

(3x+1)(5x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

15x^2-6x+5x-2

Factorize;

3x(5x-2)+ 1(5x-2)

(3x+1)(5x-2)

Hence the factorized form is (3x+1)(5x-2)

a taxi cab charges $4.25 for the first mile and$1.50 for each additional mile. what is the taxi rate for 12 miles
PtichkaEL [24]
$4.25 + $1.50 = $5.75= 2 miles
10 x $1.50 = $15.00=10 miles
10 + 2 = 12 miles
$5.75 + $15.00 = $20.75
