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%.

Circle A is inscribed in a quadrilateral. What is the perimeter of the quadrilateral?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
It would be 25 because you have to add all the sides around the quadrilateral because you are looking for the perimeter which is adding of all the sides and when you add all the sides you get 25.

What divides each median into two sections at a 2:1 ratio? Question 6 options: a) circumcenter b) incenter c) centroid d) orthoc
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

C. Centroid

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumcenter is the center of a triangle's circumcircle (circumscribed circle over triangle). It can be found as the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors.

The incenter is the center of the incircle (inscribed circle into a triangle) of a triangle. The incenter can be constructed as the intersection of angle bisectors.

Centroid is the point where the three medians of the triangle intersect.

The intersection of the three altitudes of a triangle is called the orthocenter.

Since three medians intersect at point which divides each median into 2:1 ratio, the answer is centroid.

You have the right idea that things need to get multiplied.

What should be done is that the entire fraction needs to get multipled by the lowest common denominator of both denominators.

Let's look at the complex numerator. Its denominators are 5 and x + 6. Nothing is common with these, so both pieces are needed.

The complex denominator has x - 3 as its denominator. With nothing in common between it and the complex numerator, that piece is needed.

So we multiply the entire complex fraction by (5)(x + 6)(x -3).

Numerator: (\frac{1}{5} -\frac{5}{x + 6})(5)(x +6)(x-3) =\frac{1}{5}(5)(x +6)(x-3) -   \frac{5}{x + 6}(5)(x +6)(x-3)

= (x+6)(x-3) - (5)(5)(x-3)

= (x+6)(x-3) - 25(x-3)

= (x-3)(x + 6 - 25) <--- by group factoring the common x - 3

= (x -3)(x - 19)

Denominator:

\frac{25}{x - 3} * (5)(x + 6)(x - 3) = (25)(5)(x + 6) = 125(x + 6)


Now we put the pieces together.


Our fraction simplies to (x - 3) (x - 19) / 125 (x + 6)
