Answer:

a) She scored 74.46 on the exam.

b) 11% of the students scored better than Stephanie.

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score measures how many standard deviation a score X is above or below the mean. It is given by the following formula:

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

In which \mu is the mean and \sigma is the standard deviation.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 72, \sigma = 2

a. What score did Stephanie get on the exam?

Stephanie scored 1.23 standard deviations above the mean. This means that her z-score is Z = 1.23

We want to find X

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

1.23 = \frac{X - 72}{2}

X - 72 = 2*1.23

X = 74.46

She scored 74.46 on the exam.

b. What percent of students scored better than Stephanie?

Each z-score has a pvalue, which is the percentile of the score. We look this pvalue at the z table.

Z = 1.23 has a pvalue of 0.89.

This means that Stephanie's score is in the 89th percentile, which means that she scored more than 89% of the students and scored less than 100-89 = 11% of the students.

So 11% of the students scored better than Stephanie.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST, PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! MY LIFE DEPENDS ON THIS!!!

h(x) = 3 * (2)^x

Section A is from x = 1 to x = 2

h(1) = 3 * (2)^1 = 3 * 2 = 6

h(2) = 3 * (2)^2 = 3 * 4 = 12

so

the average rate of change  = (12 - 6)/(2 - 1) = 6


Section B is from x = 3 to x = 4

h(3) = 3 * (2)^3 = 3 * 8 = 24

h(4) = 3 * (2)^4 = 3 * 16 = 48

so

the average rate of change  = (48 - 24)/(4 - 3) = 24


Part B: How many times greater is the average rate of change of Section B than Section A? Explain why one rate of change is greater than the other. (6 points)

the average rate of change of section B is 24 and the average rate of change of section A is 6

So 24/6 = 4

The average rate of change of Section B is 4 times greater than the average rate of change of Section A

It's exponential function, not a linear function; so the rate of change is increasing.
