The numerical course grades in a statistics course can be approximated by a normal model with a mean of 70 and a standard deviat

ion of 10. The professor must convert the numerical grades to letter grades. She decides that she wants 10% A's, 30% B's, 40% C's, 15% D's, and 5% F's.
What is the cutoff for an A grade?
What is the cutoff for an B grade?
What is the cutoff for an C grade?
What is the cutoff for an D grade?

Answer:

A = 82.82

B = 72.53

C = 61.58

D = 53.55

Step-by-step explanation:

First, determine the percentile at which the cutoff grade in each letter grade interval falls on and find the equivalent z-score:

A: (100-10) = 90-th percentile

z-score = 1.282

B: (100-10-30) = 60-th percentile

z-score = 0.253

C : (100-10-30-40) = 20-th percentile

z-score = -0.842

D: (100-10-30-40-15) = 5-th percentile

z-score =  −1.645

The value 'X' for each cutoff can be found by applying the z-score equation:

z= \frac{X- \mu }{SD}

Where μ is the mean and SD is the standard deviation

Therefore, the cutoffs are:

1.282= \frac{X(A)- 70}{10}\\X(A) = 10*1.282 +70\\X(A) = 82.82\\\\0.253 = \frac{X(B)- 70}{10}\\X(B) = 10*0.253 +70\\X(B) = 72.53\\\\0.253 = \frac{X(C)- 70}{10}\\X(C) = 10*-0.842 +70\\X(C) = 61.58\\\\0.253 = \frac{X(D)- 70}{10}\\X(D) = 10*-1.645 +70\\X(D) = 53.55\\

Suppose that $2000 is placed in a savings account at an annual rate of 4.6%, compounded quarterly. Assuming that no withdrawals
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

It will take 35.46 quarters for the account to grow to $3000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the annual rate is compounded quarterly, this can be calculated using the formula for calculating the future value as follows:

FV = PV * (1 + r)^n ............................ (1)

Where;

FV = future value or the amount the deposit expected to grow to = $3,000

PV = Present value or the amount place in the savings = $2,000

r = Quarterly rate = Annual rate / 4 = 4.6% / 4 = 0.046 / 4 = 0.0115

n = number of quarters it will take for the loan to grow to $3000 = ?

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for n, we have:

$3,000 = $2,000 * (1 + 0.0115)^n

$3,000 / $2,000 = (1.0115)^n

1.50 = (1.0115)^n

Loglinearise both sides, we have:

log(1.50) = n log(1.0115)

0.176091259055681 = n * 0.00496588710682352

n = 0.176091259055681 / 0.00496588710682352

n = 35.4601816891322

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, which also implies to rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:

n = 35.46

Since the the annual rate is compounded quarterly, it will therefore take 35.46 quarters for the account to grow to $3000.

How do I solve this?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Answer A represents this

x <= -3  ;  x > 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate x on each of the inequalities:

4 x + 4 <= - 8

subtract 4 from both sides

4 x <= - 12

divide both sides by 4 to isolate x completely (notice 4 is positive, so there is NO flipping of the inequality symbol)

x <= -3

This inequality is represented by shading the left section of the number line starting at x = -3 (make sure you draw a SOLID dot to mae clear that the point x = -3 is also included in your drawing.

The other inequality:

11 x - 11 > 88

add 11 to both sides

11 x > 99

divide both sides by 11 to isolate x (notice again that 11 is a positive number, so the inequality doesn't change with the division)

x > 9

This inequality is represented by shadowing the right hand side of the number line starting at x = 9. Make sure you draw an EMPTY dot on the number 9 to indicate that x = 9 is NOT included.

Find the lateral area of this pyramid whose base is a regular hexagon with a side length of 3cm and whose slant height is 12cm.
juin [17]

Answer:

108 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral surface area of a pyramid is given as

LSA= 1/2×perimeter of the base×slant height

base is hexagon with side 3 cm , therefore, perimeter of the base

=6×3=18 cm

slant height = 12 cm

thus, LSA = 1/2×18×12 = 108 cm^2
