Let X be the score on an english test which is normally distributed with mean of 31.5 and standard deviation of 7.3

μ = 31.5 and σ =7.3

Here we have to find score that separates the top 59% from the bottom 41%

So basically we have to find here x value such that area above it is 59% and below it is 49%

This is same as finding z score such that probability below z score is 0.49 and above probability is 0.59

P(Z < z) = 0.49

Using excel function to find the z score for probability 0.49 we get

z = NORM.S.INV(0.49)

z = -0.025

It means for z score -0.025 area below it is 41% and above it is 59%

Now we will convert this z score into x value using given mean and standard deviation

x = (z* standard deviation) + mean

x = (-0.025 * 7.3) + 31.5

x = 31.6825 ~ 31.68

The score that separates the top 59% from the bottom 41% is 31.68

Polygons ABCD and A'B'C'D' are shown on the following coordinate grid:A coordinate grid is shown from positive 6 to negative 6 o
Blababa [14]
<span>A(2, -2), B(4, -2), C(1, -3), D(5, -3).

A'(1, 2), B'(1, 4), C'(2, 1), D'(2, 5)

That looks like a rotation 90 degrees around the origin then a translation.  

Let's do the rotation ABCD->A"B"C"D"

The rotation is (x,y)->(-y,x)

</span>A"(2, 2), B"(2,4), C"(3,1), D"(3,5).

Compare to
 
A'(1, 2), B'(1, 4), C'(2, 1), D'(2, 5)

we need to translate one unit to the left.

Answer: 90 degree rotation around the origin then translation by (-1,0)
