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.

-12+x-34=60<br> If you like this question please rate this five stars!<br> Thank you!
natulia [17]

Answer:

x=106

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−12+x−34=60

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−12+x−34=60

−12+x+−34=60

(x)+(−12+−34)=60(Combine Like Terms)

x+−46=60

x−46=60

Step 2: Add 46 to both sides.

x−46+46=60+46

x=106

-2/3x + 2.8 = -8.2 what is x
JulsSmile [24]
-2/3x + 2.8 = -8.2 what is x
Add 2.8 on both side of the equation
-2/3x=-11
Divide both side by -2/3
x=33/2

Check: -2/3(33/2)+ 2.8 = -8.2
-11+2.8=-8.2
-8.2=-8.2

Answer is x=33/2

If the circumference of the circle above is 31.4 units, what is the area? (Use 3.14 for .) A. 62.8 units B. 78.5 units C. 985.96
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

78.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a circle the formula is πr"2"

First we have to find the diameter the find the radius. We already know that the circumference is 31.4 what we have to do now is work backwards. ( 31.4 / 3.14=10) If the diameter of a circle is 10 the radius is 5. now we just have to follow  πr"2" to find the area of a circle. (5"2"= 25 x 3.14= 78.5 units)
