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.

Find the surface area of the cylinder.
Ronch [10]

Answer:

exact: 48pi cm^2

approximate: 150.8 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

SA = 2 * (pi)r^2 + 2(pi)rh

SA = 2 * pi * (3 cm)^2 + 2(pi) * 3 cm * 5 cm

SA = pi(18 cm^2 + 30 cm^2)

SA = 48pi cm^2

SA = 150.8 cm^2

What fraction has a decimal value between 1/2 and 3/4
andreyandreev [35.5K]
To find the decimal value, we must convert 1/2 and 3/4 into decimal.
1/2=0.5
3/4=0.75
Now we just have choose a random decimal in between the decimal.
Let's choose 0.6
Now we have to convert the decimal into a fraction. So we'll multiply the decimal by100.
0.6×100=60
Then we make the 60 into a fractions. 60/100
Then we'll simply the fraction. 60/100÷10=6/10÷2=3/5
There you go. You have your answer.
