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.

Explain how you can use the graph of the quadratic function f(x) to solve the equation f(x)=0
Whitepunk [10]
F(x)=0
f(x)=y
so where y=0, the x value is the x in f(x)
basically, where the line crosses or touches the x axis, those ar the x values that make the function true
