Answer:

The z-score for SAT exam of junior is much small than his ACT score. This means he performed well in his ACT exam and performed poor in his SAT exam.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean SAT scores = 1026

Standard Deviation = 209

Mean ACT score = 20.8

Standard Deviation = 4.8

We are given SAT and ACT scores of a student and we have to compare them. We cannot compare them directly so we have to Normalize them i.e. convert them into such a form that we can compare the numbers in a meaningful manner. The best way out is to convert both the values into their equivalent z-scores and then do the comparison. Comparison of equivalent z-scores will tell us which score is higher and which is lower.

The formula to calculate the z-score is:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Here, μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation. x is the value we want to convert to z score.

z-score for junior scoring 860 in SAT exam will be:

z=\frac{860-1026}{209}=-7.59

z-score for junior scoring 16 in ACT exam will be:

z=\frac{16-20.8}{4.8}=-1

The z-score for SAT exam of junior is much small than his ACT score. This means he performed well in his ACT exam and performed poor in his SAT exam.

John is paid $35 plus 15% of his groups
lara [203]
The answer would be y=0.15x + 35 because 35 is like the base, the lowest he’ll pay, and then he’ll pay 0.15 which is 15% of the groups tips which is where the x comes in!

hope this helps!!

Find the volume of a regular hexahedron if one of the diagonals of its faces is 8 root 2 inches.
Naily [24]
The answer is 114sqrt{6} in³

A regular hexahedron is actually a cube. 

Diagonal of a cube D is a hypotenuse of a right triangle which other two legs are face diagonal (f) and length of a side (a):
D² = f² + a²

Face diagonal is a hypotenuse of a right triangle which sides are a and a:
f² = a² + a² =2a²

D² = f² + a²
f² = 2a²

D² = 2a² + a² = 3a²
D = √3a² = √3 * √a² = √3 * a = a√3

Volume of a cube with side a is: V = a³
D = a√3
⇒ a = D/√3

V = a³ = (D/√3)³

We have:
D = 8√2 in

V= (\frac{D}{ \sqrt{3} } )^{3} =( \frac{8 \sqrt{2} }{ \sqrt{3} } )^{3}=( \frac{8 \sqrt{2} * \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{3}* \sqrt{3}} )^{3} =( \frac{8 \sqrt{2*3} }{ \sqrt{3*3}} )^{3} =( \frac{8 \sqrt{6} }{ \sqrt{3^{2} }} )^{3} =( \frac{8 \sqrt{6} }{ 3} )^{3} = \\ \\ = \frac{ 8^{3} *( \sqrt{6} )^{3}}{3^{3}} = \frac{512* \sqrt{6 ^{2} }* \sqrt{6} }{27} = \frac{512*6* \sqrt{6} }{27} = 114sqrt{6}
