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.

Answer:

Hulian's age is 7.

Thomas's age is 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Hulian = h

Let Thomas = t

Set the system of equation:

h = t - 15

h + t = 29

Plug in t - 15 for h in the second equation:

(t - 15) + t = 29

Simplify. Combine like terms:

2t - 15 = 29

Isolate the variable, t. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, add 15 to both sides:

2t - 15 (+15) = 29 (+15)

2t = 44

Divide 2 from both sides:

(2t)/2 = (44)2

t = 44/2

t = 22

Plug in 22 for t in one of the equations:

h = t - 15

h = 22 - 15

h = 7

Hulian's age is 7.

Thomas's age is 22.

At a baseball game, a vender sold a combined total of 170 sodas and hot dogs. the number of hot dogs sold was 50 less than the n
Juliette [100K]

Let the number of sodas sold be x and the number of hotdogs sold be y. We can assemble a system of equations from the information given and solve.


x+y=170 (We know that soda + dogs is 170)

x-50=y (We know that dogs is equal to 50 less than sodas)


We can use substitution to solve this system of equations.

x+y=170

Sub in the value of y from the second equation

x+(x-50)=170

2x-50=170

2x=220

x=110


We now know the number of sodas sold was 110. Lets now plug this value into the equation to solve for y.

x+y=170

110+y=170

y=60


So, there were 60 hotdogs sold and 110 sodas sold.
