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%.

The width of a rectangle is 3x+5 and the length of the rectangle is 6x+10. Determine the ratio of the width to the perimeter.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

1 : 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the perimeter

perimeter = 2(3x + 5) + 2(6x + 10) = 6x + 10 + 12x + 20 = 18x + 30

perimeter = 18x + 30 ← take out a common factor of 6 from both terms

                = 6(3x + 5)

ratio of width : perimeter

= 1(3x + 5) : 6(3x + 5) ← divide both parts by (x + 5)

= 1 : 6
