2\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \quad divided\quad by\quad 5\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \\ \\ 2\frac { 1 }{ 2 } =2+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } =\frac { 5 }{ 2 } \\ \\ 5\frac { 1 }{ 3 } =5+\frac { 1 }{ 3 } =\frac { 15+1 }{ 3 } =\frac { 16 }{ 3 } \\ \\ \\ \frac { \frac { 5 }{ 2 }  }{ \frac { 16 }{ 3 }  }

We're dividing fractions, so we will flip the one in the denominator upside down and we will multiply it with the numerator.

\frac { \frac { 5 }{ 2 }  }{ \frac { 16 }{ 3 }  } \quad =\quad \frac { 5 }{ 2 } \cdot \frac { 3 }{ 16 } =\frac { 5\cdot 3 }{ 2\cdot 16 } =\frac { 15 }{ 32 }

Let's equal this too 8/x

\frac { 15 }{ 32 } =\frac { 8 }{ x }

Cross multiply. 

8\cdot 32=15\cdot x\\ \\ 256=15x

Divide both sides by 15.

\frac { 256 }{ 15 } =\frac { 15x }{ 15 } \\ \\ \frac { 256 }{ 15 } =x

In a certain year, when she was a high school senior, Idonna scored 671 on the mathematics part of the SAT. The distribution of
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Idonna's standardized score is 1.41.

Jonathan's standardized score is 0.55.

A.) Idonna's score is higher than Jonathan's

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Idonna scored 671 on the mathematics part of the SAT. The distribution of SAT math scores in that year was Normal with mean 509 and standard deviation 115.

This means that her standardized score is Z when X = 671, \mu = 509, \sigma = 115. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{671 - 509}{115}

Z = 1.41

Idonna's standardized score is 1.41.

Jonathan took the ACT and scored 24 on the mathematics portion. ACT math scores for the same year were Normally distributed with mean 21.1 and standard deviation 5.3 .

This means that his standardized score is Z when X = 24, \mu = 21.1, \sigma = 5.3

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{24 - 21.1}{5.3}

Z = 0.55

Jonathan's standardized score is 0.55.

Due to the higher z-score, Iddona's has a higher score.

Which data set has a median of 15? 9, 17, 13, 15, 16, 8, 12 18, 15, 11, 14, 19, 15, 6 7, 16, 14, 16, 11, 7, 17 18, 9, 19, 16, 6,
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The middle number of the data set or average of the two middle numbers in even numbered sets.

Step-by-step explanation:

A median is the middle point of a data set. We order the numbers from least to greatest and find the number directly in the middle of the list. If there are an even number in the set, then we take an average of the middle two.

The data sets are not separated. However, in the sets you have order them least to greatest each. Then count in from both sides to the middle. That number is the middle.
