The combined math and verbal scores for students taking a national standardized examination for college admission, is normally d

istributed with a mean of 560 and a standard deviation of 260. If 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?

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!!!

Elanso [62]

Answer:

C. 76.81

Step-by-step explanation:

We must use one of the trigonometric ratios to find the length, L,  of the ramp.  If we use 16 as the reference angle, the 22 in would be our opposite side and the ramp length is the adjacent.

Therefore, we must use tan, which is \frac{opposite}{adjacent}:

tan (16)=\frac{22}{L} \\\\L*(tan(16)=22)\\\\L*tan(16)=22\\

\frac{L*tan(16)}{tan(16)}=\frac{22}{tan(16}  \\\\L=79.815=79.82 in.

Jada ran 15.25 kilometers. Han ran 8,500 meters. Who ran farther?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Jada

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given Jada's distance in kilometers and Han's distance in meters. To compare the two we need to have them both in the same unit of measurement.

One kilometer is equal to 1000 meters, so Jada ran 15.25*1000=15250 meters.

Compared to Han, who ran 8500 meters, Jada ran farther. 15250>8500.

Which statement best describes how to determine whether f(x) = x3 + 5x + 1 is an even function?
kvasek [131]

Answer: Determine whether (–x)3 + 5(–x) + 1 is equivalent to x3 + 5x + 1.

To determine if a function is even, we need to check if f(-x)=f(x).
