Answer:

<u>The correct answer is that a student have to score 1.41 standard deviations above the mean to be publicly recognized.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

For answering the question, we don't know the score mean of the National Financial Capability Challenge Exam and neither the population or number of students who take the exam. The only information provided is that the public recognition in this normal distribution is only for students that scores in the top 8%. In other words for students above 92% of the population.

With this information, we can go to a Z Score Table and check that for being on the top 8% (above the 92% of any population), your result must be 1.405 standard deviations above the mean.

<u>Rounding the answer to 2 decimal places, it's 1.41 standard deviations above the mean.</u>

This question can be solved by a trigonometric equation. Shadow formed when something with height like a tree, so it can be pictured as a vertical line. Shadow is a length of and can be pictured as a horizontal line.  
In trigonometric, to find the vertical line length with horizontal line you need tan function. The sun angle will be used in the function, so the calculation would be: tan(31) x 42ft = 25.2361459992ft
