Suppose you can somehow choose two people at random who took the SAT in 2014. A reminder that scores were Normally distributed w

ith mean and stanard deviation of 1497 and 322, respectively. What is the probability that both of them scored above a 1520? Assume that the scores of the two test takers are independent.

Answer:

22.29% probability that both of them scored above a 1520

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 = 1497, \sigma = 322

The first step to solve the question is find the probability that a student has of scoring above 1520, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1520.

So

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

Z = \frac{1520 - 1497}{322}

Z = 0.07

Z = 0.07 has a pvalue of 0.5279

1 - 0.5279 = 0.4721

Each students has a 0.4721 probability of scoring above 1520.

What is the probability that both of them scored above a 1520?

Each students has a 0.4721 probability of scoring above 1520. So

P = 0.4721*0.4721 = 0.2229

22.29% probability that both of them scored above a 1520

an equilateral triangle and a regular pentagon have the same perimeter. Each side of the pentagon is 3 inches shorter than each
klemol [59]
The answer is 4.5 for the side length of the pentagon and 7.5 is the side length for the triangle because 7.5*3(3 sides) = 22.5 and 4.5*5(5 sides)= 22.5. The perimeter is 22.5

Bumek [7]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is 1/2 because each side length of \triangle{A'B'C'} is 1/2 of the length of the side lengths of \triangle{ABC}.

Hope this helps :)

Can someone help 12 points on the line
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write this as a ratio

x        9

---- = --------

10       15

Using cross products

15x = 10*9

15x = 90

Divide by 15

15x/15 = 90/15

x =6
