It means that her height in this year is 106\%x in regards to the last year, where x is her height in last year, so:

159=106\%x

159=\frac{106}{100}x

159=\frac{53}{50}x

159*50=53x

159*50=53x

7950=53x

150=x

HELP ASAP FOR BRAINLIEST: The mean score for a standardized test is 1700 points. The results are normally distributed with a sta
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the results for the standardized test are normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = test reults

µ = mean score

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 1700 points

σ = 75 points

We want to the probability that a student will score more than 1700 points. This is expressed as

P(x > 1700) = 1 - P(x ≤ 1700)

For x = 1700,

z = (1700 - 1700)/75 = 0/75 = 0

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.5

P(x > 1700) = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

Tariku was in second grade she read 6 book during each month of the year. She was in third grade she read 8 books during each mo
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Tariku in second grade read 6 books each month during the year. This is equal to 6(12) = 72.

Tariku in third grade read 8 books each month during the year. This is equal to 8(12) = 96.

You can find the total amount with any of the below equations:

  • 6(12) + 8(12)
  • 12(6+8)
  • 12(14)

For a total number of months x the equations would be the same except with x instead of 12.

  • 6x+8x
  • x(6+8)
  • 14x
