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

Okay lets start with "what is a kite?" A kite is a shape which has 4 sides of which 2 pairs of two sides are equal and the center angle is 90 degrees. So mark up your drawing with tick marks to show that segment DF and segment FG are equal (just put a little tick mark on those segments). Similarly segments DH and GH are equal so put two tick marks on them to show they are equal. Mark the center angle with a little square to show it is 90 degrees. Let me give you some hints on the answers. a. is given like you have  b. is what you marked on your drawing and is the definition of a kite e. is definition of congruency or even substitution  f. Reflexive property - remember it just says that something is congruent to itself. g. looks like the HL property  h. you can say that because of CPCTC.
