Answer:

The z score formula is given by:

z = \frac{620-500}{80}= 1.5

And if we use the normal standard distribution table or excel we got:

P(z

And the percentage would be 93.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the test scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(500,80)  

Where \mu=500 and \sigma=80

We are interested on this probability

P(X

The z score formula is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

The z score formula is given by:

z = \frac{620-500}{80}= 1.5

And if we use the normal standard distribution table or excel we got:

P(z

And the percentage would be 93.3%

Answer:

The percentage of students who scored below 620 is 93.32%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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, we have that:

\mu = 500, \sigma = 80

Percentage of students who scored below 620:

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 620. So

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

Z = \frac{620 - 500}{80}

Z = 1.5

Z = 1.5 has a pvalue of 0.9332

The percentage of students who scored below 620 is 93.32%.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 90 cm the length is 27 cm what is the width of the rectangle
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

width = 18 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + width)

then:

90 = 2(27+w)

90/2 = 27+w

w = width

45 = 27+w

45 - 27 = w

18 = w

Check:

90 = 2(27+18)

90 =2*45                                       =

Can you help me with this question.
HACTEHA [7]

For the scale factor, use the dimensions from similar sides:

Using 18 from the original image you would use 6 from the scaled image.

18 /6 = 3

This means the scaled image is 3 times smaller than the original. Because the scaled image is smaller divide 1 by the scale factor to get 1/3.

Q2:

The scale factor is 1 inch = 12 miles.

Multiply the total inches by 12:

6.5 x 12 = 78 miles.

The circumference of a circle with a diameter 1.8cm take pie to be 3.142
Gennadij [26K]

The formula to get the circumference is 2πr, π being pi and r being your radius.

Your r is 0.9 since the radius is half the diameter.

2πr = 2 x 3.142 x 0.9

= 5.6556cm

≈ 5.7cm
