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

Can someone help me find the area of this circle and round to the nearest tenth
larisa [96]

the circle has a diameter of 12, thus its radius is half that, or 6.


\bf \textit{area of a circle}\\\\ A=\pi r^2~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=6 \end{cases}\implies A=\pi 6^2\implies A=36\pi \\\\\\ A \approx 113.0973355\implies A=\stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{113.1}
