Answer:

The score that separates the lower 5% of the class from the rest of the class is 55.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

\mu = 73, \sigma = 10.6

Find the score that separates the lower 5% of the class from the rest of the class.

This score is the 5th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.05. So it is X when Z = -1.645.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-1.645 = \frac{X - 73}{10.6}

X - 73 = -1.645*10.6

X = 55.6

The score that separates the lower 5% of the class from the rest of the class is 55.6.

Answer:

39 touchdowns and 13 fieldgoals

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t= touchdowns

f = fieldgoals

They scored 35 times

t+f = 35

Touchdown is 7 pts and fieldgoal is 3 pt

7t+3f = 193

Multiply the first equation by-7

-7t -7f =-245

Add this to the second equation

-7t -7f =-245

7t+3f = 193

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

   -4f =-52

Divide by -4

-4f/-4 = -52/-4

f = 13

Now we can find t

t+f = 35

t+13 = 52

Subtract 13 from each side

t+13-13 =52-13

t =39

Solve for the variable p Write the equation 4l +26p= 210. Write the equation in the form p = an expression.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

p = (105-2l)/13

Step-by-step explanation:

4l + 26p = 210

Isolate 26p by subtracting 4l from both sides

26p = 210-4l now divide by 26

p = (210-4l)/26 you can simply

p = (105-2l)/13

The maximum height of the rocket is 43.89 feet

<h3>How to write the function</h3>

The general function is given as:

h(t) = -16t^2 + vt + h

The initial velocity is

v = 53

So, we have:

h(t) = -16t^2 + 53t + h

The initial height is

h = 0

So, we have:

h(t) = -16t^2 + 53t

Hence, the function of the height is h(t) = -16t^2 + 53t

<h3>The maximum height of the rocket</h3>

In (a), we have:

h(t) = -16t^2 + 53t

Differentiate the function

h'(t) = -32t + 53

Set to 0

-32t + 53 = 0

This gives

-32t = -53

Divide by -32

t = 1.65625

Substitute t = 1.65625 in h(t) = -16t^2 + 53t

h(1.65625) = -16 * 1.65625^2 + 53 * 1.65625

Evaluate

h(1.65625) = 43.890625

Approximate

h(1.65625) = 43.89

Hence, the maximum height of the rocket is 43.89 feet

<h3>Time to hit the ground</h3>

In (a), we have

h(t) = -16t^2 + 53t

Set to 0

-16t^2 + 53t = 0

Divide through by -t

16t - 53 = 0

Add 53 to both sides

16t = 53

Divide by 16

t = 3.3125

Hence, the time to hit the ground is 3.3125 seconds

<h3>The graph of the function h(t)</h3>

See attachment for the graph of the function h(t)
