Answer:

a. 2.28%

b. 30.85%

c. 628.16

d. 474.67

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given value x, the related z-score is computed as z = (x-500)/100.

a. The z-score related to 700 is (700-500)/100 = 2, and P(Z > 2) = 0.0228 (2.28%)

b. The z-score related to 550 is (550-500)/100 = 0.5, and P(Z > 0.5) = 0.3085 (30.85%)

c. We are looking for a value b such that P(Z > b) = 0.1, i.e., b is the 90th quantile of the standard normal distribution, so, b = 1.281552. Therefore, P((X-500)/100 > 1.281552) = 0.1, equivalently  P(X > 500 + 100(1.281552)) = 0.1 and the minimun SAT score needed to be in the highest 10% of the population is 628.1552

d. We are looking for a value c such that P(Z > c) = 0.6, i.e., c is the 40th quantile of the standard normal distribution, so, c = -0.2533471. Therefore, P((X-500)/100 > -0.2533471) = 0.6, equivalently P(X > 500 + 100(-0.2533471)), and the minimun SAT score needed to be accepted is 474.6653

Elle is buying new flooring for her kitchen
const2013 [10]

Answer:

The total area of the two rooms is 188.25 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of the kitchen = 132 square feet.

Dimension of the Laundry room =  8 1/3 feet by 6 3/4 feet.

To Find:

The total area of the two rooms = ?

Solution:

Area of the two rooms   =  Area of the kitchen + Area of the laundry room

Area of the two rooms   =    132 +  Area of the laundry room

Area of the laundry room  =(8 \frac{1}{3}) \times (6 \frac{3}{4})

Area of the laundry room  =\frac{25}{3} \times \frac{27}{4}

Area of the laundry = \frac{675}{12}

Area of the two rooms   =    132 +  \frac{675}{12}

Area of the two rooms   = 132 + 56.25

Area of the two rooms   = 188.25 square feet

What is the lcm of 18 and 30 using prime factorization?
Nuetrik [128]

18 = 2×3×3

30 = 2×3×5

The LCM will have factors of 2, 3², and 5. (Choose the highest power of each prime.)

2×3×3×5 = 90 is the LCM of 18 and 30.

Factor 64x^2-25y^2<br><br> enter your answer in the box
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

(8x - 5y)(8x + 5y)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor the expression, use the difference of squares pattern. A difference of squares is subtraction between two perfect squares and factors as a² - b² = (a-b)(a+b).

The expression has the perfect squares 64x² and 25y². Take the square root of each. The factors become (8x - 5y)(8x + 5y).
