Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for normal distribution is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = scores in the contest.

µ = mean score.

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 210

σ = 25

a) The z-score of John who scored 190

z = (190 - 210)/25 = - 20/25 = - 0.8

b) The z-score of Bill who scored 270

z = (270 - 210)/25 = 60/25 = 2.4

c) If Mary had a score of 1.25, what was Mary’s score,

1.25 = (x - 210)/25

Cross multiplying,

25 × 1.25 = x - 210

x = 31.25 + 210 = 241.25

Mary's score is 241.25

Answer:

a) Z = -0.8

b) Z = 2.4

c) Mary's score was 241.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 210, \sigma = 25

a) Find the z-score of John who scored 190

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

Z = \frac{190 - 210}{25}

Z = -0.8

b) Find the z-score of Bill who scored 270

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

Z = \frac{270 - 210}{25}

Z = 2.4

c) If Mary had a score of 1.25, what was Mary’s score?

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

1.25 = \frac{X - 210}{25}

X - 210 = 25*1.25

X = 241.25

Mary's score was 241.25.

A store pays $10.56 fora map of Africa and marks the price up by
nignag [31]

Essentially, 50% of $10.56 is $5.28.

This means that all we have to do is add $10.56 to $5.28, making <u>$15.84</u>


Side note: Another way that you can do this is by simply doing 1.5(10.56).

Ind the slope and y intercept of -9x+3y=5
Radda [10]

Answer:

first, you need to get y on one side. So, because the x is negative it becomes positive when you switch it to the other side. 3y= 9x+5. You then need to divide all parts by 3. 3/3= 1 so thats just y. 9/3 is 3 so thats 3x. then 5/3 is a fraction that you can write as just 5/3 or 1 and 2/3. That would leave you with y= 3x + 5/3. Then x (3) is your slope. and what you add to it (5/3) is your y int.

Consider this algebraic expression:     –3x + x + 5 Use the algebra tiles to model the expression.
luda_lava [24]

For this case, we have the following expression:

-3x + x + 5

We simplify the expression:

If we add similar terms, taking into account that different signs are subtracted and the sign of the greater one is placed, we have that -3x + x = -2x

So, we have to:

-3x + x + 5 = -2x + 5

Answer:

-3x + x + 5 = -2x + 5

-1/8(x-4)=-4<br> how do i show my work
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: the answer is x=36

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify  \frac{1}{8}(x-4)

8

1

​

(x−4)  to  \frac{x-4}{8}

8

x−4

​

.

-\frac{x-4}{8}=-4

−

8

x−4

​

=−4

2 Multiply both sides by 88.

-x+4=-4\times 8

−x+4=−4×8

3 Simplify  4\times 84×8  to  3232.

-x+4=-32

−x+4=−32

4 Regroup terms.

4-x=-32

4−x=−32

5 Subtract 44 from both sides.

-x=-32-4

−x=−32−4

6 Simplify  -32-4−32−4  to  -36−36.

-x=-36

−x=−36

7 Multiply both sides by -1−1.

x=36

x=36
