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.

Finding area of a sector
katen-ka-za [31]
The smaller sector is 360-255=105 degree
it is 105/360 portion of the whole circle, and the area of the whole circle is πr², r is 14
so the area of the smaller sector is (105/360)*π*14²
run those numbers through your calculator, use 3.14 for π, you get 179.5

if you are looking for area of the larger sector, it would be
(255/360)*π*14²=435.94
