Chem deposited $115.00 in a savings account. Each week thereafter, he
1 answer:
Answer:
Part a)
Part b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a)
Let
x -----> the number of weeks
y ----> the total amount Chem has deposited in a saving account
we know that
The equation of a line in slope intercept form is
where
m is the rate or slope of the linear equation
b is the y-intercept of the linear equation or initial value (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)
In this problem we have that
The rate or slope is equal to
-----> amount deposited by Chem each week
The y-intercept or initial value is
----> amount deposited originally in the saving account
substitute the values
Part b) How much has Chem deposited 30 weeks after his initial deposit?
For x=30 weeks
substitute in the equation

Answer:
The passing score is 645.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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:
If the board wants to set the passing score so that only the best 10% of all applicants pass, what is the passing score?
This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 1-0.1 = 0.9. So it is X when Z = 1.28.
The passing score is 645.2
