Answer:

the student should score atleast 229 to be among the top 10%.

Step-by-step explanation:

in terms of the normal distribution, and if the table that you're using calculates the area of the normal distribution from the mean to a point x, only then what we are actually finding the value 'x' at which the z-score is at 40% (the rest 50% is already skipped by the table)

P(0.4) = \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma}

after finding the the value at this z-score, we can find the value of x at which the score is in the top 10% range.

we can find the z-score either using a normal distribution table or calculator. (but be sure what area is it calculating)

looking at the table the closest value we can find is, 0.4015 at z = 1.29 ((it is above 40% because we want to be in the top 10% range)

P(0.4015) = \dfrac{x - 100}{100}

1.29 = \dfrac{x - 100}{100}

x = 1.29(100) + 100

x = 229

the student should score atleast 229 to be among the top 10%.

PLEASE HELP! What is the volume of the right rectangular prism?
dusya [7]
The answer:  "1800" .
_________________________________________________________
The volume is:   " 1800 mm³ " .
_________________________________________________________
Explanation:  Volume = L * w * h = length * width* height ; 

We plug in the given values;  all of which are in units of "m" (meters);

Volume = (3 m) (1.5 m) (0.4 m)  =  1.8 m³ .
________________________________________________________
The question asks for the value, "the volume",  in units of:  " mm³ " ;  
                                                           that is, units of: "cubic millimeters" ;
________________________________________________________
So; we convert our obtained volume;  "1.8 m³ " ; to units of "mm³ ".
________________________________________________________
   Note the exact conversion:  1000 mm³ = 1 m³  ;

So;   V =  "1.8 m³ = {1.8 m³ * (1000 mm³/1 m³) }  =  (1.8 m³ * 1000) mm³ ;
                                                               
                                                                  V   =  1800 mm³ .
