Answer:
x ≈ {0.653059729092, 3.75570086464}
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator can tell you the roots of ...
f(x) = ln(x) -1/(x -3)
are near 0.653 and 3.756. These values are sufficiently close that Newton's method iteration can find solutions to full calculator precision in a few iterations.
In the attachment, we use g(x) as the iteration function. Since its value is shown even as its argument is being typed, we can start typing with the graphical solution value, then simply copy the digits of the iterated value as they appear. After about 6 or 8 input digits, the output stops changing, so that is our solution.
Rounded to 6 decimal places, the solutions are {0.653060, 3.755701}.
_____
A similar method can be used on a calculator such as the TI-84. One function can be defined a.s f(x) is above. Another can be defined as g(x) is in the attachment, by making use of the calculator's derivative function. After the first g(0.653) value is found, for example, remaining iterations can be g(Ans) until the result stops changing,
Answer:
The percentle for Abby's score was the 89.62nd percentile.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation(which is the square root of the variance)
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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.
Abby's mom score:
93rd percentile in the math SAT exam. In 1982 the mean score was 503 and the variance of the scores was 9604.
93rd percentile. X when Z has a pvalue of 0.93. So X when Z = 1.476.
So
Abby's score
She scored 648.
So
has a pvalue of 0.8962.
The percentle for Abby's score was the 89.62nd percentile.
