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

Which expression is the simplified form of -10 + 3x - x - 7x + 5x + 7 + 2x?
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

-10 + 3x - x - 7x + 5x + 7 + 2x

combine like terms

-10 + 3x - x - 7x + 5x + 7 + 2x

-3 + 3x - x - 7x + 5x + 2x

the -7x and the 5x + 2x cancel out to 0, so for the x terms we are left with 3x -x to get 2x

= 2x - 3
