Suppose the scores on an exam are normally distributed with a mean μ = 75 points, and standard deviation σ = 8 points. Suppose t

hat the top 4% of the exams will be given an A+. In order to be given an A+, an exam must earn at least what score?

Answer:

89.008

Step-by-step explanation:

z = (x– mean)/ standard deviation

x = z * standard deviation + mean

Now, z value for the top 4% of the exams (which is the same as getting a score below the 96%) has to be found using a z table.

In this case z = 1.751

x = 1.751 * 8 + 75

x = 89.008

A rancher wants to fence in an area of 1500000 square feet in a rectangular field and then divide it in half with a fence down t

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

6000 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of rectangular field=x

Breadth of rectangular field=y

Area of rectangular field= $1500000$ square ft

Area of rectangular field= $l\times b$

Area of rectangular field= $x\time y$

$1500000=xy$

$y=\frac{1500000}{x}$

Fencing used ,P(x)= $x+x+y+y+y=2x+3y$

Substitute the value of y

P(x)= $2x+3(\frac{1500000}{x})$

$P(x)=2x+\frac{4500000}{x}$

Differentiate w.r.t x

$P'(x)=2-\frac{4500000}{x^2}$

Using formula: $\frac{dx^n}{dx}=nx^{n-1}$

$P'(x)=0$

$2-\frac{4500000}{x^2}=0$

$\frac{4500000}{x^2}=2$

$x^2=\frac{4500000}{2}=2250000$

$x=\sqrt{2250000}=1500$

It is always positive because length is always positive.

Again differentiate w.r.t x

$P''(x)=\frac{9000000}{x^3}$

Substitute x=1500

$P''(1500)=\frac{9000000}{(1500)^3}>0$

Hence, fencing is minimum at x=1 500

Substitute x=1 500

$y=\frac{1500000}{1500}=1000$

Length of rectangular field=1500 ft

Breadth of rectangular field=1000 ft

Substitute the values

Shortest length of fence used= $2(1500)+3(1000)=6000 ft$

Hence, the shortest length of fence that the rancher can used=6000 ft
