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

a kitchen is shaped like a rectangle with dimensions of 4ft by 7ft. The floor of the rooms is made up of square tiles with a sid
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

112 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 28ft sq

Tiles are 1/4 each sqft

We are working cube square inside cube ft square = 1 sq /4 (for multiplier).

= 4 x 28 = 112

112 x 0.25 = 28 to check.

112 x 0.25 x 4 = 112 is the multiplier to check again.

(x - 6)². Multiply it and simplify it
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

x^2-12x+36

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in solving this equation is to expand the square which makes the equation (x-6)(x-6). Then you distribute the x to both parentheses which leaves you with x^2-6x, and then you distribute the 6 to both parentheses which gives you 6x+36. Then add both binomials which leaves you with x^2-12x+36. The reason it is +36 and not -36 is because you are multiplying a negative 6 by another negative 6.
