High school students across the nation compete in a financial capability challenge each year by taking a National Financial Capa

bility Challenge Exam. Students who score in the top 13 percent are recognized publicly for their achievement by the Department of the Treasury. Assuming a normal distribution, how many standard deviations above the mean does a student have to score to be publicly recognized

Answer:

A student have to score 1.28 standard deviations above the mean o be publicly recognized.

Step-by-step explanation:

If X \sim N (\mu, \sigma^{2}), then Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}, is a standard normal variate with mean, E (<em>Z</em>) = 0 and Var (<em>Z</em>) = 1. That is, Z \sim N (0, 1).

The distribution of these <em>z</em>-variates is known as the standard normal distribution.

In statistics, a standardized score is the number of standard deviations an observation or data point is above the mean.

Thus, <em>z</em>-scores are a type of standardized scores.

It is provided that the students who score in the top 13 percent in the National Financial Capability Challenge Exam are recognized publicly for their achievement by the Department of the Treasury.

Let <em>x</em> be score of the top 13%.

So, to be are recognized publicly for their achievement by the Department of the Treasury the probability of score <em>x</em> must be:

P (X < x) = 0.90

⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.90

The value of <em>z</em> for the above probability is:

<em>z </em>= 1.28

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

Thus, a student have to score 1.28 standard deviations above the mean o be publicly recognized.

Answer:

The students have to score 1.13 standard deviations above the mean score to be publicly recognized.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = not given

Standard deviation = not given

Let Probability of Students who score in the top 13 percent = 13%

Probability of Students who score below the top 13 percent = Pr(<13%)

= 100% - 13% = 87%

Pr(<13%) = 0.87

To solve this, Use inverse of the standard normal cumulative distribution which has a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1

Mean = 0

Standard deviation = 1

Probability used = 0.87

The z score associated with the highest 13 percent is found using excel formula:

=NORM.S.INV(0.87) = 1.1264

The students who score in the top 13 percent score is approximately 1.13 standard deviations above the mean score.

= mean + 1.13 Standard deviation

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

1 ft : 2.5 yd or 1 ft : 2 1/2 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

He wants a real dimension of 10 yards to be represented by a scale dimension of 4 ft.

4 ft : 10 yd

Divide both sides by 4.

1 ft : 2.5 yd or 1 ft : 2 1/2 yd

cora says she doesn't need to know the y-intercept of a line to write its equation, just its slope and some other point on the l
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The equation of line with given slope that include given points is                 3 y + x - 20 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Cora , if we know the slope and points on a line then we can write the equation of a line .

Since , The equation of line in slope-intercept form is

y = m x + c

<u>Where m is the slope of line , and if we know the points ( x , y ) which satisfy the line then constant term c can be get and the equation of line can be formed .</u>

So , From the statement said above it is clear that she is correct .

Now , Again

Given as :

Slope of a line is m = - \frac{1}{3}

That include points ( 2 , 6 )

Now from the equation of line as  y = m x + c

∴   6 =  - \frac{1}{3} ( 2 ) + c

Or, 6 =  - \frac{2}{3}  + c

So , c = 6 + \frac{2}{3}

or,  c = \frac{18 + 2}{3}

∴   c = \frac{20}{3}

So, The equation of line can be written as

 y =   - \frac{1}{3} x + \frac{20}{3}

Or, 3 y = - x + 20

I.e  3 y + x - 20 = 0

Hence The equation of line with given slope that include given points is     3 y + x - 20 = 0   Answer

A ray is a line that has a begining point, but no end point
 a ray is 1 dimentional, it only goes one direction, left and right

a plane is 2 dimentional and extends indefinitely
it goes left and right and up and down


think of it like this

you have a piece of paper with no height
you draw a line starting at a point on the paper and it goes infinitely in the other direction

the paper is a plane, the line on it that has a starting point is the ray
