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.

ASAP ! The radius of a circle is 12 ft.
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Area of sector bounded by angle = 100.37 ft² (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Radius of a circle = 12 feet

Arc angle θ = 80°

Find:

Area of sector bounded by angle

Computation:

Area of sector bounded by angle = [θ/360][πr²]

Area of sector bounded by angle = [80/360][(3.14)(12)²]

Area of sector bounded by angle =[0.22][(3.14)(144)]

Area of sector bounded by angle = [0.22][452.16]

Area of sector bounded by angle = 100.37 ft² (Approx.)

Suppose that 43% of a town's population have blue eyes, 46% have blonde hair, and 24% have both blue eyes and blonde hair. What
Varvara68 [4.7K]

We need to find the probability of the event:

having blue eyes or blond hair

This event is the union of the events:

A: having blue eyes.

B: having blond hair.

So, we need to find the probability P(A ∪ B). In order to do so, we can use the following formula:

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

We know that the probability of the intersection of A and B (having both) is

P(A ∩ B) = 24%

Also:

P(A) = 43%

P(B) = 46%

Then, using those values into the above formula, we find:

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

P(A ∪ B) = 43% + 46% - 24%

P(A ∪ B) = (43 + 46 - 24)%

P(A ∪ B) = 65%
