Let X be the national sat score. X follows normal distribution with mean μ =1028, standard deviation σ = 92

The 90th percentile score is nothing but the x value for which area below x is 90%.

To find 90th percentile we will find find z score such that probability below z is 0.9

P(Z <z) = 0.9

Using excel function to find z score corresponding to probability 0.9 is

z = NORM.S.INV(0.9) = 1.28

z =1.28

Now convert z score into x value using the formula

x = z *σ + μ

x = 1.28 * 92 + 1028

x = 1145.76

The 90th percentile score value is 1145.76

The probability that randomly selected score exceeds 1200 is

P(X > 1200)

Z score corresponding to x=1200 is

z = \frac{x - mean}{standard deviation}

z = \frac{1200-1028}{92}

z = 1.8695 ~ 1.87

P(Z > 1.87 ) = 1 - P(Z < 1.87)

Using z-score table to find probability z < 1.87

P(Z < 1.87) = 0.9693

P(Z > 1.87) = 1 - 0.9693

P(Z > 1.87) = 0.0307

The probability that a randomly selected score exceeds 1200 is 0.0307

25+{2[3+8-7(25/5)+11]}
Inessa05 [86]
Let's solve it step by step:
(we start with the innermost bracket:  (25/5). This is equal to 5. :

25+{2[3+8-7(25/5)+11]} =
25+{2[3+8-7(5)+11]} =

now, we can multiply 7 and 5, which is 35

25+{2[3+8-35+11]} =

Now we can add all the numbers in the square bracket, 3,8 (that's 11), then -35 (which is -24) then 11 - all together it's -13
3+8-35+11=22-35=-13

25+{2[-13]} =

Multiplying 2 and -13
25+{-26} =25-26, which is -1

the final answer is -1
