A high school student took two college entrance exams, scoring 1070 on the SAT and 25 on the ACT. Suppose that SAT scores have a

mean of 950 and a standard deviation of 155 while the ACT scores have a mean of 22 and a standard deviation of 4. Assuming the performance on both tests follows a normal distribution, determine which test the student did better on.

Answer:

Due to the higher z-score, he did better on the SAT.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

Determine which test the student did better on.

He did better on whichever test he had the higher z-score.

SAT:

Scored 1070, so X = 1070

SAT scores have a mean of 950 and a standard deviation of 155. This means that \mu = 950, \sigma = 155.

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

Z = \frac{1070 - 950}{155}

Z = 0.77

ACT:

Scored 25, so X = 25

ACT scores have a mean of 22 and a standard deviation of 4. This means that \mu = 22, \sigma = 4

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

Z = \frac{25 - 22}{4}

Z = 0.75

Due to the higher z-score, he did better on the SAT.

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

f(6) = -3 * 6 + 10 = -18 + 10 = -8

g(f(6)) = g(-8)

g(-8) = (-8)^{2} + 3 * (-8) - 12 = 64 - 24 - 12 = 64 - 36 = 28

SashulF [63]

Answer:

D: y = 2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. \frac{16-8}{9-5} = 2

2. y = 2x + b

3. Insert the points into the equation: 8 = 10 + b

4. b = -2

5. y = 2x - 2

What is the solution of \sqrt(2x+4)=16? <br> x = 6 <br> x = 72 <br> x = 126 <br> no solution
Genrish500 [490]
√(2x+4)=16  square both sides

2x+4=256  subtract 4 from both sides

2x=252  divide both sides by 2

x=126

Given the formula, Sn=a 1-r^n/1-r, what is the sum of the first nine terms of the geometric series: 324, -108, 36, -12...
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

243.01.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term (a) = 324.

The common ratio (r) = -108/324 = -1/3.

So sum of 9 terms is:

S(9) = 324 * (1 - (-1/3)^9) / ( 1 - (-1/3)

= 324 ( 1 - (-0.00005076)) / 4/3

= 324 * 1.00005076 / 1.33333

= 243.012.
