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.

Answer:

Trapezoid

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular: They are perpendicular due to the fact they cross at right angles to each other. Another true instance of perpendicular lines we will see in nature is a football field. All four corners of a football field are perpendicular to every other.

In the trapezoid attached there aren't any perpendicular sides. A and B are both obtuse angles in this diagram, and C and D are both acute angles. However, now not all trapezoids appear like this. ... Definition B: A trapezoid is any quadrilateral with at the least one pair of parallel sides.
