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%.

Katie is getting her laundry done it cost $2.25 per square foot of flowers added to the yard if she wants 12.4 ft.² of flowers h
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Katie needs to pay $27.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Cost of per foot = $2.25

Number of  flowers in her yard = 12.4 square foot

We need to find how much she needs to pay.

Solution:

Now we know that;

1\ ft^2 = \$2.25

So for 12.4 ft^2 = Cost for 12.4 ft^2 .

By using Unitary method we get;

Cost for 12.4 ft^2 = 2.25\times12.4= \$27.9

Hence Katie needs to pay $27.9.
