Im confused what the question is...
Answer: Prokhorova is more outstanding.
Step-by-step explanation: To compare scores from different distributions, first standardize it:
z-score = 
where
x is the individual mean you want to compare
μ is the mean of the population
σ is standard deviation
For <u>Gertrud Bacher</u>:
z-score = 
z-score =
(s)
The negative sign indicates Bacher's mean is less than the mean
For <u>Yelena Prokhorova</u>:
z-score = 
z-score = 2 (cm)
The positive sign indicates Prokhorova's mean is more than the mean.
Using z-score table, you determine the percentiles are:
For Bacher: Percentile = 5.5%
For Prokhorova: Percentile = 97.7%
Bacher's percentile means she is above 5.5% of the participants, while Prokhorova is 97.7% above the other competitors, which means Prokhorova have a better performance and deserves more points.
X^2 - 18x + 81 = 0
x^2 - 9x - 9x + 81 = 0
x(x - 9) - 9(x - 9) = 0
(x - 9)(x - 9) = 0
(x - 9)^2 = 0
x - 9 = 0
x = 9
Pick 2 coordinates:
I choose first & last one (0,15) & (8-9)
Change in y is 24
(15--9 = 24)
Change in x is 8
(0 - 8) = - 8
24/-8 = - 3
So, slope = - 3
Hope this helps!
