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%

Answer:

<h2>90</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute a = -3 and b = -8 to the expression 10a²b⁰:

10(-3)²(-8)⁰ = 10(9)(1) = 90

a⁰ = 1 for any real number

Use repeated addition to find the solution to each multiplication problem. Change any improper fractions to mixed numbers. 4x1/3
Nata [24]

Answer:

1\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

4\times\frac{1}{3}

To find the answer simply multiply the numerators and the denominators by each other.

4\times\frac{1}{3}
4=\frac{4}{1}
\frac{4}{1} \times\frac{1}{3}
4\times1=4
1\times3=3
=\frac{4}{3}
\frac{4}{3} =4\div3=1\frac{1}{3}
1\frac{1}{3}

Hope this helps.
