Since the ratio of mother to daughter is 4:1, the weight of the mother and daughter together is five times the weight of the daughter.
In fact, if the daughter weights pound, the mother weights
pounds, and the total weight is
.
We know that this total is 185 pounds, so we have
So, the daughter weights 37 pounds.
Answer:
The percentle for Abby's score was the 89.62nd percentile.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation(which is the square root of the variance)
, 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.
Abby's mom score:
93rd percentile in the math SAT exam. In 1982 the mean score was 503 and the variance of the scores was 9604.
93rd percentile. X when Z has a pvalue of 0.93. So X when Z = 1.476.
So
Abby's score
She scored 648.
So
has a pvalue of 0.8962.
The percentle for Abby's score was the 89.62nd percentile.
