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.

Find the missing value of a triangle one leg is 12 and the long side is 20 what is the other leg?
Burka [1]
Simple,

using the Pythagorean Theorem...

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

You have the hypotenuse (C) and one of the legs (A)

So, plug in what you know...

12^{2}+ b^{2}  = 20^{2}

144+b^{2}=400

Now,isolate b^{2}

144+ b^{2} =400
-144                   -144

Leaving you with...

b^{2} =256

So, now, \sqrt{256}, to find what b is..

b=16

Thus, your answer.
