The national average sat score (for verbal and math) is 1028. if we assume a normal distribution with standard deviation 92, wha

t is the 90th percentile score? what is the probability that a randomly selected score exceeds 1200?

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

now, we know that V varies directly to T and inversely to P simultaneously
thus\bf V=T\cdot \cfrac{k}{P}

so     \bf V=T\cdot \cfrac{k}{P}\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;V=42\\&#10;T=84\\&#10;P=8&#10;\end{cases}\implies 42=\cfrac{84k}{8}\implies 4=k&#10;\\\\\\&#10;V=\cfrac{4T}{P}\qquad now\quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;V=74\\&#10;P=10&#10;\end{cases}\implies 74=\cfrac{4T}{10}\implies 185=T

What is the value of 8/9 divided by 5/12?
bulgar [2K]

Answer: 96/45

Step-by-step explanation: The answer is 96/12 because to divide fractions you reciprocate the second fraction and turn it into a multiplication problem.  

8 times 12 = 96

9 times 5 = 45
