Answer:

The minimum score required for the scholarship is 644.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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 = 488, \sigma = 111

What is the minimum score required for the scholarship?

Top 8%, which means that the minimum score is the 100-8 = 92th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.92. So it is X when Z = 1.405.

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

1.405 = \frac{X - 488}{111}

X - 488 = 1.405*111

X = 644

The minimum score required for the scholarship is 644.

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

6.1 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Always draw a diagram! And now pythagorean theorem. a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Substitution:

a^2 + 2.8^2 = 6.7^2

a^2 + 7.84 = 44.89

a^2 = 37.05

a = 6.086...

Rounding <u>up</u> to one decimal point, thats 6.1 m

Which table of values is correct for the equation y = 5(2)x
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

x             y

0             5

1              10

2              20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:  y = 5(2)^x           .....[1]

Here, x is the input variable and y is the output variable.

For x =0

Substitute in equation [1]; we have;

y = 5(2)^{0} = 5 \cdot 1= 5

For x = 1

Substitute in equation [1]; we have;

y = 5(2)^{1} = 5 \cdot 2= 10

For x =2

Substitute in equation [1]; we have;

y = 5(2)^{2} = 5 \cdot 4= 20

Therefore, the table values which is correct for the equation y = 5(2)^x  is;

x             y

0             5

1              10

2              20
