Answer:

The minimum score required for recruitment is 668.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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 = 461 \sigma = 118

Top 4%

A university plans to recruit students whose scores are in the top 4%. What is the minimum score required for recruitment?

Value of X when Z has a pvalue of 1-0.04 = 0.96. So it is X when Z = 1.75.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.75 = \frac{X - 461}{118}

X - 461 = 1.75*118

X = 667.5

Rounded to the nearest whole number, 668

The minimum score required for recruitment is 668.

Apply the junction rule to the junction labeled with the number 1 (at the bottom of the resistor of resistance R2R2R_2). Answer
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

-I₁ + I₂ + I₃ = 0

I₁ = I₂ + I₃

Step-by-step explanation:

The image of the circuit is obtained online and attached to the question.

The junction rule is essentially a law of conservation of current (charges). It applies to electrical circuits at steady state.

It explains that the for any given junction (node in an electrical circuit), the sum of current entering the junction is equal to the sum of current leaving the junction. That is, the net sum of current at any junction is zero.

Current entering a junction is assigned a positive sign and that leaving the junction is assigned a negative sign.

Σ I = 0

From the image of the circuit attached, I₁ is leaving the junction labelled number 1 and I₂ and I₃ are entering the junction.

Hence,

-I₁ + I₂ + I₃ = 0

I₁ = I₂ + I₃

Hope this Helps!!!

Find the values of x work 10% of my grade
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

x = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Add all angles

115+(x+36)+24+(2x+10)+2x

= 5x+185

2. Match 360 and fix

5x+185=360

5x=360-185

5x=175

x=175/5

x=35

Hope this helps
