Lilit [14]

Let our basis be worth 1 dollar. A nickel's worth is $0.05. In order to come up with $1, the number of nickels should be:

Number of nickels = $1 * 1 nickel/$0.05 = 20 nickels
Thickness of 20 nickels = 20 nickels * 1.95 mm = 39 mm

Let's do the same for the quarters. Each quarter is worth $0.25.

Number of quarters = $1 * 1 quarter/$0.25 = 4 quarters
Thickness of 4 quarters = 4 quarters * 1.75 mm = 7 mm

Find the ratio of the two:
39 mm/7 mm = 5.57

Therefore, a stack of nickels is 5.57 times thicker than a stack of quarters worth one dollar.

A high school student took two college entrance exams, scoring 1070 on the SAT and 25 on the ACT. Suppose that SAT scores have a

Answer:

Due to the higher z-score, he did better on the SAT.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

Determine which test the student did better on.

He did better on whichever test he had the higher z-score.

SAT:

Scored 1070, so $X = 1070$
