According to a company's website, the top 15% of the candidates who take the entrance test will be called for an interview. You

have just been called for an interview. The reported mean and standard deviation of the test scores are 70 and 7, respectively. If test scores are normally distributed, what is the minimum score required for an interview?

Answer:

The minimum score required for an interview is 77.252

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation.

Top 15% of the candidates is a ranking that is equivalent to = 100 - 15% = 85th percentile.

The z score of 85th percentile = 1.036

Mean = 70

Standard Deviation = 7

Minimum score = raw score = ???

Hence:

1.036 = x - 70/7

Cross Multiply

1.036 × 7 = x - 70

7.252 = x - 70

x = 70 + 7.252

x = 77.252

The minimum score required for an interview is 77.252

x =14

Answer:

m\angle ABC =  51°

Step-by-step explanation:

11. By inscribed angle theorem:

83°=\frac{1}{2} \times (9x+40)°\\\\83°\times 2 = (9x+40)°\\166°= (9x+40)°\\166 = 9x + 40\\166 - 40 = 9x\\126 = 9x\\\\x = \frac{126}{9}\\\\\huge \red {\boxed {x = 14}}

12. Again by inscribed angle theorem:

(5x+11)°=\frac{1}{2} \times (16x-26)°\\\\2\times (5x+11)°= (16x-26)°\\(10x+22)°= (16x-26)°\\10x + 22 = 16x - 26\\22+26 = 16x - 10x\\48= 6x\\\\x = \frac{48}{6}\\\\\huge \purple{\boxed {x = 8}}\\m\angle ABC =  (5x+11)°\\m\angle ABC =  (5\times 8+11)°\\m\angle ABC =  (40+11)°\\\huge \orange{\boxed {m\angle ABC =  51°}} \\

A cafeteria serves lemonade that is made from a powdered drink mix. There is a proportional relationship between the number of s
Vitek1552 [10]

All the answers to the given parts are mentioned below -

<h3>What is the general equation of a Straight line? How it represents a proportional relationship?</h3>

The general equation of a straight line is -

[y] = [m]x + [c]

where -

[m] is slope of line which tells the unit rate of change of [y] with respect to [x].

[c] is the y - intercept i.e. the point where the graph cuts the [y] axis.

y = mx also represents direct proportionality. We can write [m] as -

m = y/x

OR

y₁/x₁ = y₂/x₂

We have a cafeteria serves lemonade that is made from a powdered drink mix. There is a proportional relationship between the number of scoops of powdered drink mix and the amount of water needed to make it. For every 2 scoops of mix, one-half gallon of water is needed, and for every 6 scoops of mix, one and one-half gallons of water are needed.

We can write the proportional relationship as -

y = kx

Now, from the given information, we can write -

2 scoops need 0.5 gallon of water

6 scoops need 1.5 gallon of water

So -

k = 2/0.5

k = 2/(1/2)

k = 2 x 2 = 4

Equations that represents the relationship can be written as -

y = 4x + c

Now, 2 scoops need 0.5 gallon of water.

2 = 4 x 1/2 + c

2 = 2 + c

c = 0

So, the equation will be y = 4x.

Graph of y = 4x is attached at the end.

For 10 scoops of water -

10 = 4x

x = 2.5 gallons of water is needed.

Therefore, all the answers to the given parts are mentioned above.

Solve for x<br><br> 3(ax + 9) = -4 (-2 - 10x)
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

19

-----   =   x

40-3a

Step-by-step explanation:

3(ax + 9) = -4 (-2 - 10x)

Distribute

3ax +27 = 8+40x

Subtract 3ax from each side

3ax-3ax +27 = 8+40x-3ax

27 = = 8+40x-3ax

Subtract 8 from each side

27-8 = 8-8+40x-3ax

19 = 40x-3ax

Factor an x on the right side

19 = x(40-3a)

Divide each side by 40-3a

19/(40-3a) = x(40-3a)/(40-3a)

19

-----   =   x

40-3a

3/4 part of a rope is 150m. find the length of 7/10 part of the rope
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

140m

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 = .75

x/.7 = 150/.75

multiply both sides by .7

x = 150/.75 * .7

x = 140m
