Answer:

Test scores of 10.2 or lower are significantly low.

Test scores of 31 or higher are significantly high

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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 20.6, \sigma = 5.2

Significantly low:

Z-scores of -2 or lower

So scores of X when Z = -2 or lower

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

-2 = \frac{X - 20.6}{5.2}

X - 20.6 = -2*5.2

X = 10.2

Test scores of 10.2 or lower are significantly low.

Significantly high:

Z-scores of 2 or higher

So scores of X when Z = 2 or higher

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

2 = \frac{X - 20.6}{5.2}

X - 20.6 = 2*5.2

X = 31

Test scores of 31 or higher are significantly high

blondinia [14]

The equation of a circle with center (x_0,y_0) and radius r is

(x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2=r^2

In your case,

x_0=3,\quad y_0=-2,\quad r=3

Plug these values into the generic formula and you'll get your equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius of the pizza is 8 inches.

It is required to find the area of the pizza get by Emily's family.

Pizza is in the shape of circle. Area of a circular figure is given by :

A=\pi r^2\\\\A=\pi (8)^2\\\\A=201.06\ in^2

So, the Emily's family will get 201.06 square inches of pizza.
