Answer:

A) 21%

B) 66%

C) 50%

D) 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We want to find the percentile rank on the final for a student whose percentile rank on the midterm is 5%.

Now, it means we are looking for the value of z on the 5th percentile.

Now from the Z-score percentile normal distribution table i have attached, the value of z on the 5th percentile is; Zx = -1.645

Now, using the regression method, we know that;

Zy = r(Zx)

Where Zy is the score at which the final percentile occurs.

And r = 0.5 from the question

Thus; Zy = 0.5 x -1.645

Zy = - 0.8225

Now looking at the table attached, there is no direct value of -0.8225,and so we pick the closest to it which is -0.8 and it falls on the 21st percentile.

Thus, the percentile rank on the final for a student whose percentile rank on the midterm is 5% would be 21%.

B) We want to find the percentile rank on the final for a student whose percentile rank on the midterm is 80%.

Following same pattern in A above;

From table, Zx = 0.842

And Zy = 0.5 x 0.842 = 0.421

The percentile for this value is approximately 66th percentile.

Thus, the percentile rank on the final for a student whose percentile rank on the midterm is 80% would be 66%.

C)We want to find the percentile rank on the final for a student whose percentile rank on the midterm is 50%.

Following same pattern in A above;

From table, Zx = 0

And Zy = 0.5 x 0 = 0

The percentile for this value is 50th percentile.

Thus, the percentile rank on the final for a student whose percentile rank on the midterm is 50% would be 50%.

D) If the score is unknown, the best bet will be to use a middle percentile of 50%.

It thus follows the same procedure from c above and same answer of 50%.

Lee Middle School orders 15 textbooks for every 12 students. The table shows how many textbooks the school orders for certain nu
Mariulka [41]

Answer: 90 textbooks


Step-by-step explanation:

everytime you multiply the number of students you multiply the books by the same number. to find how many times 72 was multiplied you divide it by 12.

72 ÷ 12 = 6

then multiply the original number of books (15) by 6.

15 * 6 = 90

so for every 72 students the school orders 90 textbooks

Two and two fifths divided by one and a half
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

8/5 or 1 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/5 = 12/5

1 1/2 = 3/2

Now that we have fractions that are easier to divide, one must understand that the opposite of dividing is multiplying. So if you multiply 12/5 by the reciprocal* of 3/2, which would be 2/3, you would get your answer so...

12     3         12    2        24     8             3

—  ÷ —   =   — × —    =  —  = —   <em>or</em>  1  —

5       2         5     3        15      5             5

*the reciprocal is the opposite of the fraction you have. So the denominator would become the numerator, and vise versa.
