Answer:

Percentage of the students scored higher than 89% =  65.87%

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the percentage of students who scored higher than 89% given mean = 84 and standard deviation = 5.

We can find the percentage of students who scored higher than 89% by using z-score.

The formula for z-score is: z= \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

μ= mean = 84

σ=standard deviation = 5

x= random number = 89

Putting these values, we get

z= \frac{89-84}{5}

z= 1

Now, we know that we need to find students who score greater than 89%

so P(X>89) or P(X>1),

finding value of z= 1 which can be easily found using z score tables.

By looking at table we get the value of z = 0.3413

Subtracting the value of z from 1 we get

Percentage of the students scored higher than 89% = 1-0.3413 = 0.6587 or 65.87%

Answer:

The percentage of the students scored higher than 89% is 15.87%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The average test scores for a particular test in Algebra 2 was 84 with a standard deviation of 5.

To find : What percentage of the students scored higher than 89%?

Solution :

The formula to find z-score is  

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Where,

\mu=84 is the mean or average

\sigma=5 is the standard deviation

x=89 is the number

Substitute the value in the formula,

z=\frac{89-84}{5}

z=\frac{5}{5}

z=1  

Now, we have to find the percentage of the students scored higher than 89%

From the z-table the value of z at 1 is 0.8413.

Percentage of students scored higher than 89% is

P(x>89\%)=(1-0.8413)\times 100=0.1587\times 100=15.87\%

Therefore, The percentage of the students scored higher than 89% is 15.87%.

Find the measure of angle X.<br><br><br>11°<br><br>12°<br><br>17°<br><br>61°
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

option B : 12 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in a triangle = 180 degree

Small box represents 90 degree

From the inner triangle

90 + angle y + 29 = 180 degree

90 + y + 29 = 180

119 + y = 180 (subtract 119 on both sides)

y= 61 degree

 (y+x) is the top angle for bigger triangle

From the outer triangle , 90 + (y+x) + 17 = 180

We know y = 61

90 + (61+x) + 17 = 180

90 + 61 + x 17 = 180

168 +x = 180(subtract 168 on both sides)

x= 12 degrees

Need help with this ​

Answer:

x       y

15     -1

12     0

9       1

6       2

3       3

0       4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a function table. For a linear function, find the average rate of change between the listed points called slope. Then use the slope to fill in other inputs and outputs for the function.

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{4-0}{0-12} =\frac{4}{-12} =- \frac{1}{3}

This means for every 3 units made in the input, the function moves down 1 output.

x       y

15     -1

12     0

9       1

6       2

3       3

0       4

Which statement is true about f(x) = –6|x + 5| – 2?
Ad libitum [116K]
The graph of f(x) opens upward

For the values of x < -5 the function is a line with negative slope, for the values of x > - 5 the function is a line with positive slope.

The two lines intercept in the point (-5,-2). That is the vertex of the function; a minimum value. So, all the other points are above the line y = -2.
