Answer:

OPtion E 670

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

SAT scores are normally distributed, with a mean of 500 points and a standard deviation of 100 points. Suppose you take the SAT. Several weeks later, you receive your results, which show that you reached the 95th percentile for the math portion.

This implies below you there are 95% students  z score for area 0.95 to the left is 1.645

X score = Mean+1.645 (std deviation)

= 500+164.5

=664.5

Hence rounding off will give 670 as your score

Find the length of the hypotenuse in the right triangle below. 39in, 52in
Bingel [31]
If two sides of a right triangle are x and y, the hypotenuse, h is:

h^2=x^2+y^2, in this case x and y are 39 and 52 respectively so:

h^2=39^2+52^2

h^2=1521+2704

h^2=4225

h=√4225

h=65 in

So the hypotenuse is 65 inches.
