The Empirical Rule states that 68% of the values are within 1 standard deviation of the mean(34% above, 34% below). It also considers that 50% of the values are above the mean and 50% are below the mean.

In this problem, we have that the mean $\mu$ is 547 and that the standard deviation $\sigma$ is 100.

a. What percentage of GMAT scores are 647 or higher?

647 is 1 standard deviation above the mean.

So, 50% of the values are below the mean. Those scores are lower than 647.

Also, there is the 34% of the values that are above the mean and are lower than 647.

So, there is a 50% + 34% = 84% percentage of GMAT scores that are 647 or lower.

The sum of the probabilities must be 100

So, the percentage of GMAT scores that are 647 or higher is 100% - 84% = 16%.

Figure A has a radius of 2 inches. It is dilated by a scale factor of 4 to form figure B. What is the radius of figure B?

snow_lady [41]

Given that figure A with radius of 2 inches is dilated to form figure B, the radius of B will be given by:
Radius B=(radius A)×(scale factor)
but
scale factor=4
thus
Radius of B will be:
2×4
=8 inches
