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.

Find the new price for the markup given. Round to the nearest cent if necessary. $3.00 marked up 72%
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

$5.16

Explanation:

Okay, so the first step is to move the decimal point of the 72% over to the left twice. Since it is a whole number, the decimal is at the back. So, the number went from 72 to .72.

After that, multiply 3.00 by .72 Like this:

3.00 * .72 = 2.16

The last step is to add the original number to that number. Like this:

3.00 + 2.16 = 5.16

Hope this helps !
