Answer:

99.89% of students scored below 95 points.

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 = 76.4, \sigma = 6.1

What percent of students scored below 95 points?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 95. So

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

Z = \frac{95 - 76.4}{6.1}

Z = 3.05

Z = 3.05 has a pvalue of 0.9989.

99.89% of students scored below 95 points.

Explain how you would solve 16/c=8. Then solve the equation
Dimas [21]
16/c =8

That means 16 divided by same random number "c" makes the number 8. This also means that 8 times that random number you divided by makes 16.

Using this, you can rearrange the equation in various ways.

16/c =8

16 = c*8

c = 16/8

We only really need that last one, c = 16/8, 

16/8 = 2

c = 2

So, the base is 20 and you will multiply the base by the height which is 15 so if you want it with the triangles and squares then, you break down the parallelogram into 2 triangles and 1 square you will get the height of the 2 triangles and the square and add them all up and you should get 300 if you need me to explain better i will!
