Answer:

You did the same on both exams.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare both the scores, we need to compute the z scores of both the exams and then compare the values. The formula for z-score is:

<u>Z = (X - μ)/σ</u>

Where X = score obtained

           μ = mean score

           σ = standard deviation

For Exam 1:

Z = (95 - 79)/8

  = 16/8

<u>Z = 2</u>

For Exam 2:

Z = (90 - 60)/15

  = 30/15

<u>Z = 2</u>

<u>The z-scores for both the tests are same hence the third option is correct i.e. </u><u>you did the same on both exams.</u>

babunello [35]

Answer:

He should plant 100 acres of corn and 400 acres of wheat.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by a siple system of equations.

]x denotes the number of acres of corn

y denotes the number of acres of wheat

Building the system:

The Johnson Farm has 500 acres of land allotted for cultivating corn and wheat. This means that:

x + y = 500

The cost of cultivating corn and wheat (including seeds and labor) is $42 and $30 per acre, respectively. Jacob Johnson has $16,200 available for cultivating these crops. This means that:

42x + 30y = 16,200

So, we have the following system

1) x + y = 500

2) 42x + 30y = 16,200

If he wishes to use all the allotted land and his entire budget for cultivating these two crops, how many acres of each crop should he plant?

1) x + y = 500

2) 42x + 30y = 16,200

I am going to write y as a function of x in 1), and replace in 2). So:

x + y = 500 means that y = 500-x

42x + 30y = 16,200

42x + 30(500-x) = 16,200

42x + 15000 - 30x = 16,200

12x = 1,200

x = \frac{1,200}{12}

x = 100

Now, going back to 1:

y = 500 - x = 500 - 100 = 400

He should plant 100 acres of corn and 400 acres of wheat.
