The GRE is an entrance exam that most students are required to take upon entering graduate school. In 2014, the combined scores

for the Verbal and Quantitative sections were approximately normally distributed with a mean of 310 and a standard deviation of 12.
What percent of scores were between 286 and 322? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

82%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

mean, μ = 310

standard deviation, σ = 12

We need to use the standard normal distribution table (see figures attached).

Z is calculated as follows:

Z = (x - μ)/σ

Replacing with x = 286 and x = 322:

Z = (286 - 310) / 12 = -2

Z = (322 - 310) / 12 = 1

So, we need to find:  

P(-2 ≤ Z ≤ 1) =

= P(-2 ≤ Z ≤ 0) + P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 1)

From the first table:

P(-2 ≤ Z ≤ 0) = 0.5 - P(Z ≤ -2) = 0.5 - 0.0228 = 0.4772

From the second table:

P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 1) = 0.3413

Then,

P(-2 ≤ Z ≤ 1) = 0.4772 + 0.3413 = 0.8185, which as a percentage is 0.8185*100 = 81.85% ≈ 82%

82% of the scores will be between 286 and 322.

To find this answer, we need to find the z-scores for 286 and 322. This is done by diving the difference from the mean by the standard deviation.

(286 - 310) / 12 = -2 which gives a percent of 2.28%
(322 - 310) / 12 = 1 which gives a percent of 84.13%

Subtracting those 2 percents will tell us the difference between the two scores.

84.13 - 2.28 = 81.85% or about 82%

Find the volume of the following. Please round your answer to the nearest tenth. Please do not put units.
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The volume of the given figure is 150 mm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the volume of the triangular pyramid is V = \frac{1}{3} AH, where

  • A is the area of its base
  • H is its height

The formula of the area of a triangle is A = \frac{1}{2} bh, where

  • b is the length of its base
  • h is the length of its height

In the given figure

∵ The pyramid has a triangular base

∵ The triangle has a base of 12 mm and a height of 7.5 mm

∴ b = 12 mm and h = 7.5 mm

→ By using the 2nd formula above, find the area of the base

∴ A = \frac{1}{2} (12)(7.5)

∴ A = 45 mm²

∵ The height of the pyramid is 10 mm

∴ H = 10 mm

∵ A = 45 mm²

→ Substitute them in the first formula above to find the volume

∴ V = \frac{1}{3} (45)(10)

∴ V = 150 mm³

∴ The volume of the given figure is 150 mm³

Solve the literal equation for y.<br><br> 2x+5y = 3y+8
ozzi

Answer:

y = -x +4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5y = 3y+8

Subtract 3y from each side

2x+5y-3y = 3y-3y+8

2x+2y = 8

Subtract 2x from each side

2x+2y -2x = -2x+8

2y = -2x+8

Divide by 2

2y/2 = -2x/2 +8/2

y = -x +4
