Dear Math Helper, You write a great column, and I hope you stay around for years to come. I run a small boarding school. We are

going to begin using test scores to help determine admissions eligibility. The scores for the test I have in mind are normally distributed with a mean of 300 and a standard deviation of 12.5. Can you show me how to determine the cutoff score if we should use to only accept only applicants who score in the top 10% on the test? What cutoff score includes the top 15%? Thanks in advance. Regards, The Student Selector

The easiest way to determine the score is to use a calculator or spreadsheet and the appropriate probability function.

If you want the top 10%, the score corresponds to the 90th percentile. That score is 316.

If you want the top 15%, the score corresponds to the 85th percentile. That score is 313.

Hello i would like help and the answer to this please; what is the nth term rule of
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The nth term of the given sequence

a_{n} = a_{n-1} + (2n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation:-</em></u>

Given sequence  -5,-4,-1,4,11,20,31

a₀ = -5

a₁ = a₀ +1 = -5 +1   = -4

a₂ = a₁ + 3 = -4+3  = -1

a₃ = a₂ + 5 = -1 +5 = 4

a₄ = a₃ + 7 = 4 + 7  =11

a₅ = a₄ + 9 = 11+9 = 20

a₆ = a₅ + 11 =  20+11 = 31

a₇ = a₆ + 13 = 31 +13 =44

and so on

The nth term of the given sequence

a_{n} = a_{n-1} + (2n-1)
