Answer:

a) The percentage of athletes whose GPA more than 1.665 is 87.49%.

b) John's GPA is 3.645.

Step-by-step explanation:

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 = 2.7, \sigma = 0.9

a)Find the percentage of athletes whose GPA more than 1.665.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1.665. So

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

Z = \frac{1.665 - 2.7}{0.9}

Z = -1.15

Z = -1.15 has a pvalue of 0.1251

1 - 0.1251 = 0.8749

The percentage of athletes whose GPA more than 1.665 is 87.49%.

b) John's GPA is more than 85.31 percent of the athletes in the study. Compute his GPA.

His GPA is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8531. So it is X when Z = 1.05.

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

1.05 = \frac{X - 2.7}{0.9}

X - 2.7 = 1.05*0.9

X = 3.645

John's GPA is 3.645.

Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that goes through the point (-2,-5) and (3,5)
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b

Let’s first find the slope, which is y2-y1/x2-x1

Let’s make the point (-2,-5) our x1 and y1 and let’s make the point (3,5) our x2 and y2.

5+5/3+2

10/5

2 = slope

So far, our equation is looking like this:

y=2x + b

To find the y-intercept (b), let’s plug in one of the points.

Let’s use the point (3,5)

(5)=2(3) + b

5=6 + b

What adds to 6 to equal 5? -1

So, our y-intercept is going to be -1

Finally, our equation is going to look like this:

y=2x-1

I don’t understand this problem
ikadub [295]

Hello! the answer is c

First of all let's eliminate the answers that do not make sense. For A. numbers are NOT irrational because they are a fraction. Numbers are also not irrational because they are a repeating number. C and D are both correct as fractions and terminating decimals are both rational numbers.

34/3≈11.33333333

By using a certain formula you can convert repeating decimals to a fraction. But most people know that .3333333 is 1/3. This gives us 11 1/3 as our answer. So what does it match? It is not a terminating decimal. It repeats but can be written as a fraction. Therefore our answer is C) Rational, because it is a fraction.

I hope this helps!
