<span>With 1026 being the mean score on the SAT and StDev of 209, Jessica has a score of 799/209 z-scores above the mean. Her z-score would be 3.823. The mean of the ACT and StDev are 20.8 and 4.8, respectively. A 28 ACT score would be 7.2/4.8 z-scores above the mean, for a z = 1.500. This means that Jessica has the higher z-score.</span>
Answer:
9 + p ≤ 27; p ≤ 18
Step-by-step explanation:
"At or below" means "less than or equal to." Only one answer choice incorporatest that symbol into the inequality expression — the one shown above.

Answer: x = 0
y = 2
z = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equations are
x+y+z=1 - - - - - - - - - - 1
-2x+4y+6z=2 - - - - - - - - - 2
-x+3y-5z=11 - - - - - - - - - 3
Step 1
We would eliminate x by adding equation 1 to equation 3. It becomes
4y -4z = 12 - - - - - - - - - 4
Step 2
We would multiply equation 1 by 2. It becomes
2x + 2y + 2z = 2 - - - - - - - - - 5
We would add equation 2 and equation 5. It becomes
6y + 8z = 4 - - - - - - - - - 6
Step 3
We would multiply equation 4 by 6 and equation 6 by 4. It becomes
24y - 24z = 72 - - - - - - - - 7
24y + 32z = 16 - - - - - - - - 8
We would subtract equation 8 from equation 7. It becomes
-56z = 56
z = -56/56 = -1
Substituting z = -1 into 7, it becomes
24y - 24×-1 = 72
24y + 24 = 72
24y = 72 - 24 = 48
y = 48/24 = 2
Substituting y = 2 and z = -1 into equation 1, it becomes
x + 2 - 1 = 1
x = 1 - 1 = 0
Answer:
(smallest, largest) = (B, C), (D, E), (G, J)
Step-by-step explanation:
Side lengths of a triangle are proportional to the sine of the opposite angle. In a triangle, a larger angle will always have a larger sine. That means the smallest angle is opposite the shortest side, and the largest angle is opposite the longest side.
__
<h3>ΔABC</h3>
The shortest side is 5 units, opposite angle B. The longest side is 7 units, opposite angle C.
- smallest angle: B
- largest angle: C
<h3>ΔDEF</h3>
The shortest side is 3 units, opposite angle D. The longest side is 5 units, opposite angle E.
- smallest angle: D
- largest angle: E
<h3>ΔGHJ</h3>
The shortest side is 5 units, opposite angle G. The longest side is 5.1 units, opposite angle J.
- smallest angle: G
- largest angle: J

<em>Additional comment</em>
Angles in a triangle may exceed 90°. The sine function actually is decreasing for angles above 90°. However, since the total of angles of a triangle must be exactly 180°, there <em>cannot be two angles in a triangle such that the smaller angle has the larger sine</em>.
