Answer:

15.39% of the scores are less than 450

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 565, \sigma = 113

What percentage of the scores are less than 450?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 450. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{450 - 565}{113}

Z = -1.02

Z = -1.02 has a pvalue of 0.1539

15.39% of the scores are less than 450

Solve 2x2 + 20x = −38.
cestrela7 [59]
2x^2+20x=-38  divide both sides by 2

x^2+10x=-19, halve the linear coefficient, square it, than add that value to both sides of the equation, in this case add (10/2)^2=25...

x^2+10x+25=6  now the left side is a perfect square

(x+5)^2=6  take the square root of both sides

x+5=±√6  subtract 5 from both sides

x=-5±√6    (so answer c.)

Monique said 0.70 is greater than 0.7 because 70 is greater than 7. do you agree with monique
elixir [45]
No. 0.70 is the same as 0.7, for the place value of 7 is the same for both (tenths place). In 0.70, the place value of 0 is the hundredth, which is not needed.


0.70 = 0.7
