Answer:

lowest score a college graduate must earn to qualify for a responsible position is 578

correct option is D. 578

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

mean = 500

standard deviation = 50

distribution = 6 %

to find out

What is the lowest score a college graduate must earn to qualify for a responsible position

solution

we know that here Probability P that is express as

P ( Z > x ) = 100% - 6%      .....................1

so with the help of normal table

here value of Z is =  1.55 from cumulative probability 0.94

so by z score formula here x will be

x = z × standard deviation +  mean    ................2

so put here value

x = 1.55 × 50 + 500

x = 577.7387 ~ 578

so lowest score a college graduate must earn to qualify for a responsible position is 578

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute 2 in for x

|2+3| = 5

This would take the absolute value of the answer, or in other words once you solve the equation it will remove any negatives to return a positive number. I took the test and I have links to prove it.
