Answer:

GPAs os 2.832 and lower will mean that a track team athlete will be recommended for extra tutoring help

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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:

\mu = 3.36, \sigma = 1.2

Bottom 33%:

The 33rd percentile(X when Z has a pvalue of 0.33) and below.

So we have to find X when Z = -0.44.

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

-0.44 = \frac{X - 3.36}{1.2}

X - 3.36 = -0.44*1.2

X = 2.832

GPAs os 2.832 and lower will mean that a track team athlete will be recommended for extra tutoring help

Which of the following is a reasonable estimated answer to the following problem?
bulgar [2K]
989,867 \approx 1,000,000
999 \approx 1000

\implies  \frac{989,867}{999} \approx  \frac{1,000,000}{1000}
\frac{1,000,000}{1000} = 1000

So the answer is approximately 1000.

Side a is 13 when using the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
5^2 + 12^2 = c^2
25 + 144 = c^2
c^2 = 169
c = 13
