Answer:

The value that represents the 90th percentile of scores is 678.

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 = 550, \sigma = 100

Find the value that represents the 90th percentile of scores.

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.9. So X when Z = 1.28.

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

1.28 = \frac{X - 550}{100}

X - 550 = 100*1.28

X = 678

The value that represents the 90th percentile of scores is 678.

The figure below shows a right rectangular prism whose base is a square.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The intersection of the horizontal plane with the prism would have a square shape.

Step-by-step explanation:

A right rectangular prism is one in which each side makes an angle of 90^{0} with its base, which is a square. It is a three dimensional figure with six faces.

The point where the horizontal plane and the prism coincides would take the shape of the base of the prism. This is because the prism rests with its base on the horizontal plane. Thus, the shape required is in the form of a square since its base is a square. The length and width of its base are equal.
