The grades on a statistics test are normally distributed with a mean of 62 and Q1=52. If the instructor wishes to assign B's or

higher to the top 30% of the students in the class, what grade is required to get a B or higher? Please round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer:

To get a B or higher, you need to get a grade of at least 69.77.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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}

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. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that

Mean of 62, so \mu = 62

Q1 of 52 means that the z score of X = 52 has a pvalue of 0.25. Z has a pvalue of 0.25 between -0.67 and -0.68, so we use Z = -0.675

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

-0.675 = \frac{52 - 62}{\sigma}

-0.675\sigma = -10

Multiplying the equality by (-1), we have that:

0.675\sigma = 10

\sigma = \frac{10}{0.675}

\sigma = 14.8

If the instructor wishes to assign B's or higher to the top 30% of the students in the class, what grade is required to get a B or higher?

Those are the Z scores that have a pvalue higher than 0.70. So we have to find X when Z has a pvalue of 0.70. This is between 0.52 and 0.53, so we use Z = 0.525

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

0.525 = \frac{X - 62}{14.8}

X - 62 = 14.8*0.525

X = 69.77

To get a B or higher, you need to get a grade of at least 69.77.

Gravity pulls the metal down at 10 N, but the metal pieces RISES! At least how much force is needed to make it move upward?
prisoha [69]

Answer: Greater than 10 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Gravity force on metal is 10 N

But the metal piece is rising i.e. there must be an upward force greater than 10 N

Suppose the force is F

So, we can write

\Rightarrow F>10\ N

Any force greater than 10 N is sufficient for the metal to move upwards

The greater the amount of force faster will be the movement
