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.

What is an equation of a circle with center (2,7) and radius 4?
goblinko [34]

Equation of a circle:

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2


In this case:

<span>center (2,7) and radius 4 so h = 2, k = 7 and r = 4

</span>Equation:

(x - 2)^2 + (y - 7)^2 = 4^2

(x - 2)^2 + (y - 7)^2 = 16


Hope it helps.

10 pounds of soil are needed to
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

40/3

Step-by-step explanation:

w = weight of soil needed

f = number of flower beds

a = constant value

w = a * f

<em>substitute</em>

10 = 6a

<em>simplify</em>

5/3 = a

w = (5/3)f

<em>plug in 8</em>

w = (5/3)(8)

<em>simplify</em>

w = 40/3

337= x
Criss cross so do 100x337 and then divide by 6740 and you’ll get 5 which you can check by doing 5/100 of 6740
