Answer:

6.18% of the class has an exam score of A- or higher.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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 question, we have that:

\mu = 80, \sigma = 6.5

What percentage of the class has an exam score of A- or higher (defined as at least 90)?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 90. So

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

Z = \frac{90 - 80}{6.5}

Z = 1.54

Z = 1.54 has a pvalue of 0.9382

1 - 0.9382 = 0.0618

6.18% of the class has an exam score of A- or higher.

How do I use substitution to solve a system of linear equations?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

the substitution method is one way to solve linear equation. the substitution method is when substitute the one y value with the other:

example :

x+y=10

y=10-x ( value of y)

2x+y=12 ( substitute the value of y in the equation )

2x+(10-x)=12

2x+10-x=12 ( now solve for x)

x=12-10

x=2 ( substitute the value of x in the equation x+y=10)

x+y=10

2+y=10

y=10-2

y=8

( i hope it helps)

During a certain week, a post office sold Rs.280 worth of 14-paisas stamps. How many of these stamps did they sell?
Novosadov [1.4K]
So basically ...

You convert the rupees in paisas. One rupee is equal to one hundred paisas, so ...

280 × 100 = 28,000

And then we divide,

28,000 ÷ 14 = 2000

The post office sold 2000 stamps!

Hope this helped! :)
