Ron thinks he's kind of a big deal and decides to challenge Veronica to an Anchor-person Aptitude Test (AAT). The average anchor

person scores 100 points (out of 200 possible points), with a standard deviation of 4.5 points. Brick, the newsroom shuttle diplomat, gets both parties to agree that being a "big deal" would require an anchor person's score to beat 97.5% of the other scores. Ron scores 111 and Veronica scores 117. Assuming SAT scores are normally distributed, which of the following statement is true
a) Only Ron is a Big Deal.
b) Both Veronica and Ron are a Big Deal.
c) Only Veronica is a Big Deal.
d) Neither Veronica nor Ron are a Big Deal

Answer:

b) Both Veronica and Ron are a Big Deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 100, \sigma = 4.5

Big deal:

Beat 97.5% of the other scores, which means that Z must have a pvalue of at least 0.975.

Ron

Scored 111, so X = 111

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{111 - 100}{4.5}

Z = 2.44

Z = 2.44 has a pvalue of 0.9927, so Ron is a big deal

Veronica

Scored 117, so X = 117

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{117 - 100}{4.5}

Z = 3.78

Z = 3.78 has a pvalue of 1, so Veronica is a big deal

So the correct answer is:

b) Both Veronica and Ron are a Big Deal.

Information reference tables what is the solution set of the equation log4 (x2 + 3x) − log4 (x + 5) = 1?
faust18 [17]
Use this property of logarithms:

\log_b\left(\dfrac{x}{y}\right)=\log_b x-\log_b y

Your equation transforms into:

log_4\left(\dfrac{x^2+3x}{x+5}\right)=1

Now, you have to apply the definition of a logarithm to express the equation in exponential form:

\dfrac{x^2+3x}{x+5} = 4^1

In case you don't remember, this is the definition of a logarithm:

\log_b x = y \iff b^y = x

The log is the exponent (y) you have to raise the base (b) to in order to get the power (x).

Finally, solve the rational equation:

\dfrac{x^2+3x}{x+5} =4 \iff x^2+3x=4(x+5)
\iff x^2-x-20=0
\iff x=\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4\cdot(-20)}}{2}= \left \{ {{5} \atop {-4}} \right.

The correct answer is d.
