Answer:

60$ (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that 20% of the total is peters - and peter has 12 dollars. We know that 20% 5 times gets us to 100%. So we multiply 12 by 5 to get a total answer of 60$

Together, teammates Pedro and Ricky got 2673 base hits last season. Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky. How many hits did each

ioda

Answer:

Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of base hits that Pedro got.

y is the number of base hits that Ricky got.

Pedro and Ricky got 2673 base hits last season.

This means that $x + y = 2763$

Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky.

This means that $x = y + 277$

Replacing in the first equation

$x + y = 2763$

$y + 277 + y = 2763$

$2y = 2486$

$y = \frac{2486}{2}$

$y = 1243$

$x = y + 277 = 1243 + 277 = 1520$

Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.

est scores for a statistics class had a mean of 79 with a standard deviation of 4.5. Test scores for a calculus class had a mean

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The z-score for the statistics test grade is of 1.11.

The z-score for the calculus test grade is 7.3.

Due to the higher z-score, the student performed better on the calculus test relative to the other students in each class

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

The grade with the higher z-score is better relative to the other students in each class.

Statistics:

Mean of 79 and standard deviation of 4.5, so $\mu = 79, \sigma = 4.5$
