Answer: $500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be y

15% of y = 75

15/100 × y = 75

15y/100 = 75

Cross multiply

15y = 75 × 100

15y = 7500

y = 7500/15

y = 500.

$\text{In this question, you would need to find the right value that 15\% is \$75}\\\\\text{You can do this by multiplying each number by 0.15}:\\\\200*0.15=30\\\\300*0.15=45\\\\350*0.15= 52.5\\\\500*0.15=75\\\\\text{You would see that 15\% of 500 is \$75}\\\\\boxed{\$500}$

Find f(g(x)) and g(f(x)).<br> f(x)=x²-2 and g(x)=√x+1

Archy [21]

Answer:

1. x - 1

2. $\sqrt{x^2-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(g(x)) = \sqrt{x+1}^2 - 2\\ = x + 1 - 2\\= x - 1$

$g(f(x)) =\sqrt{x^2-2+1}\\ = \sqrt{x^2-1}$

Scores on a college entrance exam are normally distributed with a mean of 550 and a standard deviation of 100. Find the value th

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The value that represents the 90th percentile of scores is 678.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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:

$\mu = 550, \sigma = 100$
