Answer:

The minimum score that such a student can obtain and still qualify for admission at the college = 660.1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a normal distribution problem, for the combined math and verbal scores for students taking a national standardized examination for college admission, the

Mean = μ = 560

Standard deviation = σ = 260

A college requires a student to be in the top 35 % of students taking this test, what is the minimum score that such a student can obtain and still qualify for admission at the college?

Let the minimum score that such a student can obtain and still qualify for admission at the college be x' and its z-score be z'.

P(x > x') = P(z > z') = 35% = 0.35

P(z > z') = 1 - P(z ≤ z') = 0.35

P(z ≤ z') = 1 - 0.35 = 0.65

Using the normal distribution table,

z' = 0.385

we then convert this z-score back to a combined math and verbal scores.

The z-score for any value is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z' = (x' - μ)/σ

0.385 = (x' - 560)/260

x' = (0.385×260) + 560 = 660.1

Hope this Helps!!!

What is the missing numerator? blank over five plus eighteen over twenty equals thirty over twenty 8 5 3 2
Oliga [24]

Given:

\dfrac{?}{5}+\dfrac{18}{20}=\dfrac{30}{20}

To find:

The missing value.

Solution:

Let x be the missing value.

We have,

\dfrac{x}{5}+\dfrac{18}{20}=\dfrac{30}{20}

\dfrac{x}{5}+\dfrac{9}{10}=\dfrac{3}{2}

Subtract \dfrac{9}{10} from both sides.

\dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{3}{2}-\dfrac{9}{10}

\dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{15-9}{10}

\dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{6}{10}

\dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{3}{5}

Multiplying both sides by 5, we get

x=3

So, the missing value is 3.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
