Answer:

Test scores of 10.2 or lower are significantly low.

Test scores of 31.4 or higher are significantly high.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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 = 20.8, \sigma = 5.3

Identify the test scores that are significantly low or significantly high.

Significantly low

Z = -2 and lower.

So the significantly low scores are thoses values that are lower or equal than X when Z = -2. So

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

-2 = \frac{X - 20.8}{5.3}

X - 20.8 = -2*5.3

X = 10.2

Test scores of 10.2 or lower are significantly low.

Significantly high

Z = 2 and higher.

So the significantly high scores are thoses values that are higherr or equal than X when Z = 2. So

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

2 = \frac{X - 20.8}{5.3}

X - 20.8 = 2*5.3

X = 31.4

Test scores of 31.4 or higher are significantly high.

Fairly easy question

Answer:

C. x=3 and y=−6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step: Solvex−2y=15for x:

x−2y=15

x−2y+2y=15+2y(Add 2y to both sides)

x=2y+15

Step: Substitute2y+15forxin2x+4y=−18:

2x+4y=−18

2(2y+15)+4y=−18

8y+30=−18(Simplify both sides of the equation)

8y+30+−30=−18+−30(Add -30 to both sides)

8y=−48

8y8=−488(Divide both sides by 8)

y=−6

Step: Substitute−6foryinx=2y+15:

x=2y+15

x=(2)(−6)+15

x=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=3 and y=−6
