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.

What is the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator
ad-work [718]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+2x-15 = x²-3x+5x-15 = x(x-3)+5(x-3)=(x+5)(x-3)

or delta:

∆=2²-4*1*(-15)=4+60=64

√∆=8

x1 = (-2+8)/2 = 3

x2=(-2-8)/2=-5

and 4x+20 = 4(x+5)

The same is (x+5), so it is GCF. answer C
