Since we want just the top 20% applicants and the data is normally distributed, we can use a z-score table to check the z-score that gives this percentage.
The z-score table usually shows the percentage for the values below a certain z-score, but since the whole distribution accounts to 100%, we can do the following.
We want a z* such that:
But, to use a value that is in a z-score table, we do the following:
So, we want a z-score that give a percentage of 80% for the value below it.
Using the z-score table or a z-score calculator, we can see that:
![\begin{gathered} P(zNow that we have the z-score cutoff, we can convert it to the score cutoff by using:[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\Longrightarrow x=z\sigma+\mu](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20P%28zNow%20that%20we%20have%20the%20z-score%20cutoff%2C%20we%20can%20convert%20it%20to%20the%20score%20cutoff%20by%20using%3A%5Btex%5Dz%3D%5Cfrac%7Bx-%5Cmu%7D%7B%5Csigma%7D%5CLongrightarrow%20x%3Dz%5Csigma%2B%5Cmu)
Where z is the z-score we have, μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation, so:
so, the cutoff score is approximately 72.
Answer:
a) 3x-5=16
b) 30cm
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 5(x-1)=2(x+8)
5x-5=2x+16
5x-2x-5=16
3x-5=16
b) solving the equation gives x=7
put x=7 into first line, 5(7-1)=30cm
to check we can place it into second one as well
2(7+8)=30cm
Three consecutive odd integers would be x, x+2, and x+4 assuming x is an odd integer. The smallest of these is x. Two times x is 2x. The greatest integer is x+4. Three times this is 3 (x+4), and if you distribute you get 3x+12. If 2x exceeds this by 15, you would make it 3x+12-15. If you add the like terms, 12+(-15) is -3. So, you have 2x=3x-3. Subtract 3x from both sides. 2x-3x is -1x, or -x. Now we have -x=-3. Divide by -, or -1 on both sides. Now we have x=3. You can substitute x for 3 for any of the consecutive odd integers to find their value.

20 and 28 can be divided by 4, so just take the 4 out so the answer should be 4(5x - 7)
