Answer: the minimum score required for recruitment is 669

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose SAT Mathematics scores are normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = SAT Mathematics scores.

µ = mean score

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 518

σ = 113

The probability value for the top 9% would be (1 - 9/100) = (1 - 0.09) = 0.91

Looking at the normal distribution table, the z score corresponding to the probability value is 1.34

Therefore,

1.34 = (x - 518)/113

Cross multiplying by 113, it becomes

1.34 × 113 = x - 518

151.42 = x - 518

x = 151.42 + 518

x = 669 to the nearest whole number.

What is y=-10x's constant of proportionality and how would describe a graph's constant rate of change.
Fantom [35]
Okay, so here, we know that -10 is the slope, therefore, it is also the constant of proportionality. 

'x' is the unknown value, that tells us to multiply by -10. 

So, on a graph, we would consider that per unit, it would decrease by -10, since its a negative slope. 

Hope I helped, if you have further questions or concerns, feel free to PM me. Thanks! :D

What is the difference of 7x − (25x2 + 12x)
Sav [38]
If you would like to solve 7x - (25x^2 + 12x), you can do this using the following steps:

7x - (25x^2 + 12x<span>) = 7x - 25x^2 - 12x = - 25x^2 - 5x
</span>
The correct result would be <span>- 25x^2 - 5x.</span>
