Answer:

29.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = 21.4

Standard deviation = 5.9%

The minimum score required for the scholarship which is the scores of the top 9% is calculated using the Z - Score Formula.

The Z- score formula is given as:

z = x - μ /σ

Z score ( z) is determined by checking the z score percentile of the normal distribution

In the question we are told that it is the students who scores are in the top 9%

The top 9% is determined by finding the z score of the 91st percentile on the normal distribution

z score of the 91st percentile = 1.341

Using the formula

z = x - μ /σ

Where

z = z score of the 91st percentile = 1.341

μ = mean = 21.4

σ = Standard deviation = 5.9

1.341= x - 21.4 / 5.9

Cross multiply

1.341 × 5.9 = x - 21.4

7.7526 = x -21.4

x = 7.7526 + 21.4

x = 29.1526

The 91st percentile is at the score of 29.1526.

We were asked in the question to round up to the nearest tenth.

Approximately, = 29.2

Answer:

A = $1,545.00

(I = A - P = $45.00)

Equation:

A = P(1 + rt)

Explanation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 4%/100 = 0.04 per year.

Putting time into years for simplicity,

9 months / 12 months/year = 0.75 years.

Solving our equation:

A = 1500(1 + (0.04 × 0.75)) = 1545

A = $1,545.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $1,500.00 at a rate of 4% per year for 0.75 years (9 months) is $1,545.00.
