According to the College Board website, the scores on the math part of the SAT (SAT-M) in a recent year had a mean of 507 and st

andard deviation of 111. Assume that SAT-M scores have a normal probability distribution. One of the criteria for admission to a certain engineering school is an SAT-M score in the 98th percentile. This means the score is in the top 2% of scores. Find the actual SAT-M score marking the 98th percentile? Show your work. Interpret your result. Note: You will need the Inverse Normal Distribution Calculator below.

Answer:

The actual SAT-M score marking the 98th percentile is 735.

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 = 507, \sigma = 111

Find the actual SAT-M score marking the 98th percentile

This is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.98. So it is X when Z = 2.054. So

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

2.054 = \frac{X - 507}{111}

X - 507 = 2.054*111

X = 735

garri49 [273]

Answer:

HL, LL, SSS, SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

HL is the hypotenuse-leg theorem.  It states that if the hypotenuse and leg of one triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and corresponding leg of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.  We have that both legs of the triangles are congruent as well as the hypotenuse, so the HL theorem applies.

LL is the leg-leg theorem.  It states that if both legs of one right triangle are congruent to both legs of the second triangle, the triangles are congruent.  We have that both legs are congruent; this is the LL theorem.

SSS is the side-side-side theorem.  It states that if all three sides of one triangle are congruent to the three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.  All three sides of both triangles are congruent, so this is the SSS theorem.

SAS is the side-angle-side theorem.  It states that if two sides and an included angle of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two sides and included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.  We have JL≅QS, ∠L≅∠S and LK≅SR.  This is the SAS theorem.
