Answer:

The minimum score required for an A grade is 90.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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 = 78.9, \sigma = 9.3

Find the minimum score required for an A grade.

Top 12%, so at least the 100-12 = 88th percentile, which is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.88. So it is X when Z = 1.175.

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

1.175 = \frac{X - 78.9}{9.3}

X - 78.9 = 1.175*9.3

X = 89.8

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the answer is 90.

The minimum score required for an A grade is 90.

How can you use metal math to determine if a ratio is simplified

That's a simple question.

Ans: If both numbers can be divided to equal a whole number, then it can be simplified.
Example: 35:7 (this is your ratio) divided by 7 = 5:1
