Answer:

the lowest passing score would be x = 298

Step-by-step explanation:

School wishes that only 2.5 percent of students taking test pass

We are given

mean= 200,

standard deviation = 50

We need to find x

The area under the curve can be found by:

2.5 % = 0.025

So, 1- 0.025 = 0.975

We need to find the value of z for which the answer is 0.975

Looking at the z-score table, the value of z is: 1.96

Now, using the formula:

z = x - mean/standard deviation

1.96 = x - 200/50

=> 1.96 * 50 = x-200

98 = x - 200

=> x = 200+98

x = 298

So, the lowest passing score would be x = 298

For this problem, I'd use cross-multiplication.

9/12 = x/8.

When cross multiplying, multiply 12*x and 9*8. This leads to a new equation:

12x = 72.

Then you solve as an algebra problem.

*Divide 12 on both sides*

x = 6.

Martin can run 3 ¾ miles in 2/3 of an hour. Write a unit rate to describe the situation and explain the context.
BigorU [14]

Answer:

5 5/8 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Martin can run 3 ¾ miles in 2/3 of an hour. Write a unit rate to describe the situation and explain the context.

We are asked to write the unit rate , this means we are to find out how many miles he can run per hour

Hence,

2/3 hour = 3 3/4 miles

1 hour = x

Cross Multiply

2/3 hour × x = 3 3/4 miles × 1 hour

x = 3 3/4 miles × 1 hour/ 2/3 hour

x = 3 3/4 ÷ 2/3

x = 15/4 ÷ 2/3

x = 15/4 × 3/2

x = 45/8

x = 5 5/8 miles per hour

What is the average rate of change of the function f (x) = 20 (1/4)^x from x=1 to x = 2
Lelu [443]
\bf slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ f(x_2)}}-{{ f(x_1)}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average\ rate\\
of\ change
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf f(x)= 20\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)^x  \qquad 
\begin{cases}
x_1=1\\
x_2=2
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(2)-f(1)}{2-1}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{20\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)^2~~-~~20\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)^1}{2-1}\implies \cfrac{20\cdot \frac{1^2}{4^2}~~-~~20\cdot \frac{1}{4}}{1}\implies \cfrac{\frac{20}{16}~~-~~5}{1}
\\\\\\\cfrac{\frac{5}{4}~~-~~5}{1}\implies \cfrac{\frac{5-20}{4}}{1}\implies \cfrac{-\frac{15}{4}}{1}\implies -\cfrac{15}{4}\implies -3\frac{3}{4}
