Answer:

The student who did the German test scored 2 standard deviations above the mean and the student who did the French test scored 1.6 standard deviations above the mean. Relative to their classmates, the student who did the German test scored better due to the higher z-score.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score

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.

German test

Mean was 66 and the standard deviation was 8, scored an 82.

So

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

Z = \frac{82 - 66}{8}

Z = 2

French test:

Mean was 27 and the standard deviation was 5, scored a 35.

So

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

Z = \frac{35 - 27}{5}

Z = 1.6

The student who did the German test scored 2 standard deviations above the mean and the student who did the French test scored 1.6 standard deviations above the mean. Relative to their classmates, the student who did the German test scored better due to the higher z-score.

6. The vertices of ALMN are L(7,4), M(7,16), and
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

(a) LM=12 units, LN=35 units, MN=37 units

(b)8 84 units

(c) 210 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Since points L and M have same x coordinates, it means they are in the same plane. Also, since the Y coordinates of L and N are same, they also lie in the same plane

Length LM=\sqrt {(7-7)^{2}+(16-4)^{2}}=12 units

Length LN=\sqrt {(42-7)^{2}+(4-4)^{2}}=35 units

LengthMN=\sqrt {(42-7)^{2}+(4-16)^{2}}=37 units

Alternatively, since this is a right angle triangle, length MN is found using Pythagoras theorem where

MN=\sqrt {(LN)^{2}+(LM)^{2}}=\sqrt {(12)^{2}+(35)^{2}}=37 units

Therefore, the lengths LM=12 units, LN=35 units and MN=37 units

(b)

Perimeter is the distance all round the figure

P=LM+LN+MN=12 units+35 units+37 units=84 units

(c)

Area of a triangle is given by 0.5bh where b is base and h is height, in this case, b is LN=35 units and h=LM which is 12 units

Therefore, A=0.5*12*35= 210 square units
