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%.

Each course at a community college is worth 1 or 2 credits. A group of students is taking a total of 16 courses that are worth a
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

They  are taking 12 2 credit courses

The are taking 4  1 credit courses

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 1 credit courses

y = 2 credit courses

The number of courses is 16

x+y = 16

The number of credits is 28 so multiply the course by the number of credits

1x+2y=28

Subtract the first equation from the second equation

x+2y =28

-x-y=-16

-----------------

y = 12

They  are taking 12 2 credit courses

We still need to find the 1 credit courses

x+y = 16

x+12= 16

Subtract 12 from each side

x-12-12 = 16-12

x =4

The are taking 4  1 credit courses
