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

Answer with explanation:

Properties of Rectangle

1. Opposite sides are equal and parallel.

2. Diagonals are equal and bisect each other.

3. Adjacent Sides are Perpendicular to each other.

→If two lines are parallel their slopes are equal and if two Lines are perpendicular, their product of slopes is -1.

→A Rectangle is a Quadrilateral also.

→Adjacent sides are perpendicular ,so , their slopes can't be equal.Product of their slopes should be equal to ,-1.

⇒Slope of AB × Slope of BC = -1

⇒Also, Slope of AB × Slope of BC = -1

Slope of AB × Slope of AD = -1

⇒ Slope of AD × Slope of CD = -1

Slope of CB × Slope of CD = -1

Option B And Option C

are statement which proves that polygon ABCD is not a rectangle.

Which of the following is equivalent to 7^2•7^5•2^2/7^3•2^6
kondor19780726 [428]

When you add, you subtract the exponents. When you divide, you subtract the exponents.

When you have multiplication and division in one expression, you do it from left to right.

7^2 times 7^5 = 7^ (2+5) = 7^7

7^7 times 2^2 / 7^3 = 7 ^(7 - 3) times 2^2

7^4 times 2^2 times 2^6 = 7^4 times 2^(2+6) = 7^4 times 2^8

Put it in a calculator.

614656.

That is the answer, but you didn't include the "which of the following", so I guess you'll have to put each value in the calculator to find out!

If the 7^3 times 2^6 is in parenthesis, then the answer is 150.0625.
