A professor gives her 100 students an exam; scores are normally distributed. The section has an average exam score of 80 with a

standard deviation of 6.5. What percentage of the class has an exam score of A- or higher (defined as at least 90)? Type your calculations along with your answer for full credit; round your final percentage to two decimal places.

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.

A retangle has an area of 30 square meters and a perimeter of 34 meters what are the dimensions of the retangle
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer: Length = 15 meters

Width = 2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

Area of a rectangle = l × w

where l = length

w = width

Therefore,

2l + 2w = 34 ...... i

l × w = 30 ........ ii

From equation i

2l + 2w = 34

Divide through by 2.

l + w = 17 ...... iii

Then, l = 17 - w ........ iv

Put equation iv into ii

l × w = 30

(17 - w) × w = 30

17w - w² = 30

w² - 17w + 30 = 0

w² - 15w - 2w + 30 = 0

w(w - 15) - 2(w - 15) = 0

(w - 2) = 0

w = 0 + 2 = 2

w - 15 = 0

w = 0 + 15 = 15

Length = 15 meters

Width = 2 meters

Lindsay says all numbers that are multiples of 4 have 2 as a factor. Is lindsay correct?
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take any random multiple of 4 as an example:

8 = 2 • 4

64 = 2 • 32

20 = 2 • 10

Try any multiple of 4—this pattern continues.
