An incoming MBA student took placement exams in economics and mathematics. In​ economics, she scored 85 and in math 89. The over

all results on the economics exam had a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 8​, while the mean math score was 68​, with a standard deviation of 10. On which exam did she do better compared with the other​ students?Since she scored ___________ standard deviations ___________ the mean in economics and ___________ standard deviations _________ the mea in mathematics, she did better on the _________ exam.(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Answer:

She did better on the math exam compared with the other students

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

We to calculate how many standard deviations from the mean she scored we need to use the following formulae:

(score - mean)/std

for economics:

(85 - 75)/8 = 10/8 = 1.25

for math:

(89 - 68)/10 = 21/20 = 2.1

Since she scored <em><u>1.25</u></em> standard deviations <em><u>higher than</u></em> the mean in economics and <u><em>2.1</em></u> standard deviations <u><em>higher than</em></u> the mean in mathematics, she did better on the <u><em>MATH</em></u> exam

What were the lengths of the legs of a right triangle in which measures 19 degrees and the hypotenuses 15 units long
Otrada [13]

Answer:



The legs of a triangle with a hypotenuse that measures 15 units long have lengths that are equal to 15 times the sine or cosine of the given angle.

                     leg 1 = (15 units) x (cos 19) = 14.18 units

                     leg 2 = (15 units) x (sin 19) = 4.88 units

The lengths of the legs are 14.18 units and 4.88 units.

Assume the random variable X is normally distributed with mean muequals50 and standard deviation sigmaequals7. Find the 87 th pe
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

  57.885

Step-by-step explanation:

For such calculations a probability calculator is very helpful. The one in the attachment shows the 87th percentile to be 57.885.

___

A table of the standard normal distribution will tell you the 87th percentile corresponds to a z-value of 1.12639. Then the X value is ...

  X = Zσ +μ = 1.12639(7) +50 = 57.885

The graph below represents the solution set of which inequality?
natulia [17]

Answer:

option: B (x^2+2x-8) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the solution set as seen from the graph as:

(-4,2)

1)

On solving the first inequality we have:

x^2-2x-8

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2-4x+2x-8

⇒  x(x-4)+2(x-4)=0

⇒ (x+2)(x-4)

And we know that the product of two quantities are negative if either one of them is negative so we have two cases:

case 1:

x+2>0 and x-4

i.e. x>-2 and x<4

so we have the region as:

(-2,4)

Case 2:

x+2 and x-4>0

i.e. x<-2 and x>4

Hence, we did not get a common region.

Hence from both the cases we did not get the required region.

Hence, option 1 is incorrect.

2)

We are given the second inequality as:

x^2+2x-8

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2+4x-2x-8

⇒ x(x+4)-2(x+4)

⇒ (x-2)(x+4)

And we know that the product of two quantities are negative if either one of them is negative so we have two cases:

case 1:

x-2>0 and x+4

i.e. x>2 and x<-4

Hence, we do not get a common region.

Case 2:

x-2 and x+4>0

i.e. x<2 and x>-4

Hence the common region is (-4,2) which is same as the given option.

Hence, option B is correct.

3)

x^2-2x-8>0

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2-4x+2x-8>0

⇒ x(x-4)+2(x-4)>0

⇒ (x-4)(x+2)>0

And we know that the product of two quantities are positive if either both of them are negative or both of them are positive so we have two cases:

Case 1:

x+2>0 and x-4>0

i.e. x>-2 and x>4

Hence, the common region is (4,∞)

Case 2:

x+2 and x-4

i.e. x<-2 and x<4

Hence, the common region is: (-∞,-2)

Hence, from both the cases we did not get the desired answer.

Hence, option C is incorrect.

4)

x^2+2x-8>0

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2+4x-2x-8>0

⇒ x(x+4)-2(x+4)>0

⇒ (x-2)(X+4)>0

And we know that the product of two quantities are positive if either both of them are negative or both of them are positive so we have two cases:

Case 1:

x-2 and x+4

i.e. x<2 and x<-4

Hence, the common region is: (-∞,-4)

Case 2:

x-2>0 and x+4>0

i.e. x>2 and x>-4.

Hence, the common region is: (2,∞)

Hence from both the case we do not have the desired region.

Hence, option D is incorrect.
