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.

Use the distributive property to write an expression that is equivalent to the sum of 9 and 54.
xenn [34]

Answer:

9(1 +6)

Step-by-step explanation:

9 = 9 * 1

54 = 9 * 6

9 + 54 = (9*1 ) + (9*6)      {9 is common in both terms}

           = 9*(1 + 6)

If f(x) is a linear function, f(−2)=4, and f(1)=−1, find an equation for f(x)
juin [17]

Answer:

y = -\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(-2) = 4

f(1) = -1

Required

The equation of the function

The given parameters means that:

(x_1,y_1) = (-2,4)

(x_2,y_2) = (1,-1)

Calculate the slope (m)

m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}

m = \frac{-1-4}{1--2}

m = \frac{-5}{3}

The equation is then calculated using:

y = m(x - x_1) + y_1

This gives:

y =\frac{-5}{3}(x--2)+4

y =\frac{-5}{3}(x+2)+4

Open bracket

y = -\frac{5}{3}x-\frac{10}{3}+4

Take LCM

y = -\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{-10+12}{3}

y = -\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{2}{3}
