Assume that advanced students average 93% on an achievement test and regular students averaged 75%. If 100 advanced students and

300 regular students took the test, what would you expect the average to be? How many of each kind of student would be needed to get a group of 90 students who average 87% on the test? Please include work/explaination, I along with a few of my classmates are confused by this problem. We are in a chapter about systems of equations.

Average (mean) = (sum of all the data) / (# of data)

sum of all the data = (average)(# of data)

Thus for 100 students with an average of 93,
sum of all data = (93)(100) = 9300

and for 300 students with an average of 75,
sum of all data = (75)(300) = 22500

Therefore you would expect the overall average to be
(9300 + 22500) / (100 + 300) = 79.5 %

Now if there are x # of advanced students and y # of regular students, then

x + y = 90 (total # of students) and 93x + 75y = 87(x + y) (overall average)

The second equation can be simplified to x - 2y = 0

Subtracting the two equations yields

x = 60 and y = 90

Therefore you would need 60 advanced and 30 regular students.

Martin bought a flower vase from a florist. The box in which the vase was packed was shaped like a rectangular prism.
34kurt

Answer:

the answer is C: 1932 sq. cm

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to break down the sections (which is double for each)

there are 6 rectangles but you will only need to calculate for 3

1st rectangle

a = (25) (12)

a = 300 sq. cm

**then multiply by 2 = 600 sq. cm**

2nd rectangle

a = (12) (18)

a = 216 sq. cm

then 216 * 2 = 432 sq. cm

3rd rectangle

a = (25) (18)

a = 450 sq. cm

then 450 * 2 = 900 sq. cm

Total Surface Area

SA = 600 sq. cm + 432 sq. cm + 900 sq. cm

SA = 1932 sq. cm

Answer: 5

Step by step:

(3x+4)/2 = 9.5
3x+4 = 9.5*2
3x+4 = 19
3x = 19 -4
3x = 15
x = 5

The number 0.6064 represents the area under the standard normal curve below a particular z-score. What is the Z-score? Express t
Anastasy [175]
P(z < x) = 0.6064 - 0.5 = 0.1064

From the normal distribution table
P(z < 0.27) = 0.1064

Therefore the z-score is 0.27

I can't explain it very well for you, sorry.
