We can use ratio and proportion to find the number of chaperones

Let x represent the number of chaperones.

<u>Number of Students</u>                                    <u>Number of Chaperones</u>

25                                                                                   2

53                                                                                x


If 25 corresponds to 2, then 53 will correspond to a value more than 2. If more, less divides, hence

x=\frac{2 \times53}{25}


x=\frac{106}{25}


x=4.24

Since humans are whole entities, we round up to the nearest whole number which is 5.

The point is that we are dealing with humans and 4.24 means 4 chaperones plus 0.24 chaperone. since we cannot add 0.24 of the next chaperone to the 4, we add one full chaperone.

<h2>So there are at least 5 chaperones</h2>

The national average sat score (for verbal and math) is 1028. if we assume a normal distribution with standard deviation 92, wha
elena55 [62]

Let X be the national sat score. X follows normal distribution with mean μ =1028, standard deviation σ = 92

The 90th percentile score is nothing but the x value for which area below x is 90%.

To find 90th percentile we will find find z score such that probability below z is 0.9

P(Z <z) = 0.9

Using excel function to find z score corresponding to probability 0.9 is

z = NORM.S.INV(0.9) = 1.28

z =1.28

Now convert z score into x value using the formula

x = z *σ + μ

x = 1.28 * 92 + 1028

x = 1145.76

The 90th percentile score value is 1145.76

The probability that randomly selected score exceeds 1200 is

P(X > 1200)

Z score corresponding to x=1200 is

z = \frac{x - mean}{standard deviation}

z = \frac{1200-1028}{92}

z = 1.8695 ~ 1.87

P(Z > 1.87 ) = 1 - P(Z < 1.87)

Using z-score table to find probability z < 1.87

P(Z < 1.87) = 0.9693

P(Z > 1.87) = 1 - 0.9693

P(Z > 1.87) = 0.0307

The probability that a randomly selected score exceeds 1200 is 0.0307
