In preparation for the upcoming school year, a teacher looks at raw test scores on the statewide standardized test for the stude

nts in her class. Instead of looking at the scores relative to the norms in the state, the teacher wants to understand the scores relative to the students who will be in the class. To do so, she decides to convert the test scores into z-scores relative to the mean and standard deviation of the students in the class. The mean test score in her upcoming class is 49, and the standard deviation is 20.7. The teacher wants to identify those students who may need extra challenges. As a first cut, she decides to look at students who have z-scores above z = 2.00 Identify the test score corresponding to a z-score of above z=2.00. Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

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

And we can solve for the value of X like this:

X = \mu + z*\sigma

And since we know that z=2 we can replace and we got:

X = 49 +2*20.7= 90.4 \approx 90

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 scores of a population, and for this case we can assume the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(49,20.7)  

Where \mu=49 and \sigma=20.7

And for this case the z score is given by:

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

And we can solve for the value of X like this:

X = \mu + z*\sigma

And since we know that z=2 we can replace and we got:

X = 49 +2*20.7= 90.4 \approx 90

What is the radius of a circle whose equation is x2 + (y – 8)2 = 25?
Nesterboy [21]
The formula for a circle is (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
Where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.
x^2 + (y - 8)^2 = 25
25 = r^2
So the radius is sqrt 25 or 5.
Radius = 5

The median and mean of these numbers:
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Mean : ≈ 12.7

Median: ≈ 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean you must add all the numbers and divide by the # of numbers in the set.

8+12+13+14+14+15 = 76

76/6 ≈ 12.7

To find the median you have to order the numbers from least to greatest, the middle number should be the median, but in this case two numbers are in the middle.

8, 12, 13, 14, 14, 15

So you have to add 14 and 13, which is 27.

Then divide by 2 which is ≈ 13.5

A plumber and his assistant work together to replace the pipes in an old house. The plumber charges $30 an hour for his own labo
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The plumber worked 50 hours, and his assistant worked 25 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a plumber and his assistant work together to replace the pipes in an old house, and the plumber charges $ 30 an hour for his own labor and $ 20 an hour for his assistant's labor, and the plumber works twice as long as his assistant on this job, and the labor charge on the final bill is $ 2000, to determine how long did the plumber and his assistant work on this job the following calculation must be performed:

40 x 30 + 20 x 20 = 1200 + 400 = 1600

50 x 30 + 25 x 20 = 1500 + 500 = 2000

Therefore, the plumber worked 50 hours, and his assistant worked 25 hours.
