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

Every year the Lee family has a big family dinner, and everyone brings a mug to exchange. The mugs are put on wooden hangers on
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

21 more mugs were brought this year than last year.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve by subtracting the initial amount of mugs from the final amount of mugs.

To find the amount of mugs hung up this year, we will use the equation: m = 12w where m = the number of mugs & w = the number of wooden hangers. The 12 represents the amount of mugs per wooden hanger.

We can plug in 3 for w since 3 wooden hangers were filled up and we would get 12(3) = m = 36 mugs

Now we subtract last year's total mugs hung up from this year's total mugs hung up.

We end up with 36 - 15 = 21
