Joses ACT score had a z-score of .75.what was his ACT score? mean score=21.1 sd=5.2

Mathematics

Answer:

X \sim N(21.1,5.2)  

Where \mu=21.1 and \sigma=5.2

And the z score is given by:

z = \frac{x -\mu}{\sigma}

And since z = 0.75 we can replace like this:

0.75 = \frac{x- 21.1}{5.2}

And if we solve for x we got:

x = 21.1 +0.75*5.2 = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the ACT scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(21.1,5.2)  

Where \mu=21.1 and \sigma=5.2

And the z score is given by:

z = \frac{x -\mu}{\sigma}

And since z = 0.75 we can replace like this:

0.75 = \frac{x- 21.1}{5.2}

And if we solve for x we got:

x = 21.1 +0.75*5.2 = 25

The population of bacteria in a petri dish doubles every 24 h. The population of the bacteria is initially 500 organisms. How lo
liberstina [14]

Answer:

16.34 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information we can see that the case is of exponential growth

Hence, we will use the formula

A=P(2)^\frac{t}{24}

Here A =800 is the amount that is needed to reach

P is the initial amount that is 500

We have to find the time it will take to reach 800 that is we need to find t

On substituting the values in the formula we get

800=500(2)^\frac{t}{24}

On simplification we get

\Rightarrow\frac{8}{5}=(2)^\frac{t}{24}

Taking log on both sides we get

\Rightarrow\log\frac{8}{5}=\log(2)^\frac{t}{24}

using \log\frac{m}{n}=\log m-\log n

And \log a^m=m\log a

\Rightarrow\log{8}-\log{5}=\frac{t}{24}\log2

Now substituting values of log 8=0.903, log 5=0.698 and log 2=0.301 we get

\Rightarrow 0.903-0.698=\frac{t}{24}0.301

\Rightarrow 0.205=\frac{t}{24}0.301

\Rightarrow \frac{0.205}{0.301}\cdot 24=t

\Rightarrow t=16.34

Using the numbers 2,0,1,9 in order what exoression do you make to equal 6
alexgriva [62]

Answer: 9-(0+1+2)


Step-by-step explanation:

We have given the numbers = 2,0,1,9

We can use addition and subtraction operation to the given numbers such that the answer will be equals to 6.

We can add 2 ,0 and 1 and then subtract from 9 , we will get 6.

So the required expression can be

9-(0+1+2)\\=9-(3)\\=9-3\\=6

hence, the required expression can be 9-(0+1+2)

30 POINTS I WILL GIVE U BRAINLIEST AND THANKS AND 5 STARS please help this is very important this is a big part of my grade
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

1.\:2^x=64, x=\boxed{6},\\2.\:x=\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^3,x=\boxed{\frac{8}{125}}\\3.\:3\cdot (3^4)=3^x, x=\boxed{5}\\4.\:\frac{16}{25}=x^2,x=\boxed{\frac{4}{5}},

Step-by-step explanation:

1.\\\\2^x=64,\\\log 2^x=\log64,\\x\log 2=\log 64,\\x=\frac{\log 64}{\log 2}=\boxed{6}

2.\\x=\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^3=\frac{2^3}{5^3}=\boxed{\frac{8}{125}}

3. This problem incorporates an exponent property.

Exponent property used: a^b\cdot a^c=a^{(b+c)}, yielding an answer of \boxed{5}

4.\\\\\frac{16}{25}=x^2,\\x=\sqrt{\frac{16}{25}}=\frac{\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt{25}}=\boxed{\frac{4}{5}}
