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.

Solve the equation sin theta = 0.3 to the nearest tenth. Use the restrictions 90degrees < theta < 180degrees.
Alexxandr [17]
We first do:
∅ = sin⁻¹(0.3)
∅ = 17.5°

To go into the second quadrant, we add 90°.
∅ = 17.5 + 90
= 107.5°
The answer is A.

Help on threethx so much
Maru [420]

The answer is 1.5. We can find this by arranging the data set from least to greatest, 011234, and then finding the middle number. Since the amount of spaces is even, we need to find the number in between 1 and 2. The answer is 1.5!

Please mark brainliest.

Hope this helps!
