Answer:

A. 16th

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that on a normal distribution IQ test scores, with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 points. We are asked to find the percentile for a score of 85.

We will use z-score formula and normal distribution table to answer our given problem.

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

z = Z-score,

x = Sample score,

\mu = Mean,

\sigma = Standard deviation.

Upon substituting our given values in z-score formula, we will get:

z=\frac{85-100}{15}

z=\frac{-15}{15}

z=-1

Now, we need to find area under a normal curve that corresponds to z-score of -1 that is P(z.

Using normal distribution table, we will get:

P(z

Let us convert 0.15866 into percentage as:

0.15866\times 100\%=15.866\%\approx 16\%

Therefore, a score of 85 places you approximately in 16th percentile of the population.

Y = 4x – 10 y = 2 what is the solution to the system of equations? (3, 2) (2, 3) (–2, 2) (2, –2)
Scilla [17]
Y = 2

y = 4x - 10
2 = 4x - 10
2 + 10 = 4x
12 = 4x
12/4 = x
3 = x

solution is : (3,2)

How much of 30% HCI and 45% HCI would be needed to mix and produce 50 liters of 35% HCI
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

  • 33 1/3 liters of 30%
  • 16 2/3 liters of 45%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the liters of 45% solution needed. Then the amount of HCl in the mix is ...

  0.45x +0.30(50 -x) = 0.35(50)

  0.15x = 0.05(50) . . . . . simplify, subtract 0.30(50)

  x = (0.05/0.15)(50) = 50/3 = 16 2/3 . . . liters of 45% HCl

33  1/3 liters of 30% and 16 2/3 liters of 45% HCl are needed.

_____

<em>Comment on the solution</em>

You may notice that the general solution to a mixture problem of this sort is that the fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is ...

  (mix % - low %) / (high % - low %) = (.35 -.30) / (.45 -.30) = .05/.15 = 1/3
