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

Please help me with trigonometry
NeX [460]

Answer:

cos R = .38

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the length of the hypotenuse.

Use a squared + b squared = c squared

100 + 576 = c squared

square root of 676 is 26

CosR is adjacent over hypotenuse.

Adjacent is 10

Hypotenuse is 26

10/26 = .38

10 feet length and 6 feet width.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total area of the patio is going to be equal to 60 square feet and the length is going to be 4 feet longer than the width, the dimensions that she should use for the patio are 10 feet for the length and 6 feet for the width which will equal to 60 square feet in total.
