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

I really need help on this question! Thank you!
KIM [24]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the following:

OE=5\\\\FG=4\\\\EF=8\\\\

so the segment EF is equal to

EF=EG+GO+OF\\\\

and here we can do a trick :)

EF=(EG+GO)+GO+(OF+OG)-2GO\\\\

you see it's the same

EF=EO-GO+FG\\\\

now we plug the values given

8=5-GO+4\\\\8=9-GO\\\\GO=9-8\\\\GO=1

so it's option A
