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%

A parallelogram has base (2x - 1) metres and height (4x - 7) metres.
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

0.4069 ; 1.843

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Base of parallelogram, b = (2x - 1)

Height = (4x - 7)

Area = 1

Area of parallelogram = Base * height

Area of parallelogram = (2x - 1) * (4x - 7)

(2x - 1) * (4x - 7) = 1

8x² - 14x - 4x + 7 = 1

8x² - 18x + 7 - 1 = 0

8x² - 18x + 6 = 0

Divide through by 2

4x² - 9x + 3 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation :

Using the formula

-b ± √(b² - 4ac) / 2a

a = 4 ; b = - 9 ; c = 3

Plugging in the values :

-(-9) ± √((-9)² - 4(4)(3)) / 2(4)

9 ± √(81 - 48) / 8

9 ± √33 / 8

(9 ± 5.7445626) / 8

(9 - 5.7445626) / 8) = 0.4069

(9 + 5.7445626) / 8 = 1.843

The answer is none of the lines intersect each other, because they are at the same slope, and they do not have a different slope for the lines to be intersected.

The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is three times the length of the shorter leg. The length of the longer leg is 1
k0ka [10]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the short leg is x and the hypotenuse is y. Then, y = 3x (because "The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is three times the length of the shorter leg.")

Use the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse). Here, we can say a = x and b = 12 and c = y. So:

x^2 + 12^2 = y^2

x^2 + 144 = (3x)^2

x^2 + 144 = 9x^2

8x^2 = 144

x^2 = 18

x = \sqrt{18} =3\sqrt{2}

The answer is D.

Hope this helps!

Y = -2x - 5
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

A. One line

Step-by-step explanation:

Let rearrange the system of equations into explicit forms:

y = -2\cdot x - 5

6\cdot x + 3\cdot y = -15

3\cdot y = -6\cdot x - 15

y = -2\cdot x - 5

The second equation is identical to the first one, which means that there is just one line.
