Answer:

88.51 is the minimum score needed to receive a grade of A.          

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 73

Standard Deviation, σ = 11

We are given that the distribution of exam grades is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.0793.

P( X \geq x) = P( z \geq \displaystyle\frac{x - 73}{11})=0.0793  

= 1 -P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 73}{11})=0.0793  

=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 73}{11})=0.9207  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(z \leq 1.410) = 0.9207

\displaystyle\frac{x - 73}{11} = 1.410\\x =88.51  

Hence, 88.51 is the minimum score needed to receive a grade of A.

Talja [164]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (x-2)=8 equal to 2x-4=8, put -4 to the other side by subtracting 4 on both sides once you do you get 2x=4 so 4 divided by 2 equals 2.

Reika [66]

Answer:

since we can't see the image, I'm just giving it a try

if it's wrong, it's fine for you to delete it

(see below)

Step-by-step explanation:

if one of the length is 5.6 units then the other will be 5 units

if one of the length is 4 units then the other will be 7 units

if one of the length is 2 units then the other will be 14 units

if one of the length is 1.86666666667 units then the other will be 15 units

if you're looking of an area, it might be 7 units

and I think that's all I've got

(hope it helps)
