Answer:

2.28% of tests has scores over 90.

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 = 80, \sigma = 5

What proportion of tests has scores over 90?

This proportion is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 90. So

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

Z = \frac{90 - 80}{5}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772.

So 1-0.9772 = 0.0228 = 2.28% of tests has scores over 90.

X is less than or equal to 2 Write in interval notation.
Talja [164]
X is less than -2, so -2 is our largest value of the interval, so it goes on the right. Since there is no lower endpoint (it is ALL values less than -2), we put the negative infinity symbol on the left side. The curved end on -2 indicates an open interval

X2+ 1 = 9
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

X = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 + 1 = 9

We have to cross 1 over to the other side so that x becomes a value on its own. Because we are it over, the addition sign changes to subtraction which makes the expression,

x2 = 9- 1

x2 = 8

For x to stand alone we have to divide both sides by 2

x 2/2 = x

and 8/2 = 4

Therefore x=4 (Answer)
