Math scores on the SAT exam are normally distributed with a mean of 514 and a standard deviation of 118. If a recent test-taker

is selected at random, what is the probability the student scored between 455 and 573 on the exam?

Answer:

Probability that the student scored between 455 and 573 on the exam is 0.38292.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Math scores on the SAT exam are normally distributed with a mean of 514 and a standard deviation of 118.

<u><em>Let X = Math scores on the SAT exam</em></u>

So, X ~ Normal(\mu=514,\sigma^{2} =118^{2})

The z score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

                              Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~  N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean score = 514

           \sigma = standard deviation = 118

Now, the probability that the student scored between 455 and 573 on the exam is given by = P(455 < X < 573)

       P(455 < X < 573) = P(X < 573) - P(X \leq 455)

       P(X < 573) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{573-514}{118} ) = P(Z < 0.50) = 0.69146

       P(X \leq 2.9) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{455-514}{118} ) = P(Z \leq -0.50) = 1 - P(Z < 0.50)

                                                         = 1 - 0.69146 = 0.30854

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.50 in the z table which has an area of 0.69146.</em>

Therefore, P(455 < X < 573) = 0.69146 - 0.30854 = <u>0.38292</u>

Hence, probability that the student scored between 455 and 573 on the exam is 0.38292.

Lynn has a box of crayons.
Scrat [10]

Answer:

<em>There are 72 crayons in the box</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Fractions</u>

To solve this problem we'll manage numbers as fractions to keep the precision up to the end of it.

Lynn has a box of crayons. It's given 4/9 of the crayons are blue. The remaining crayons are:

1-\frac{4}{9}=\frac{5}{9}

From that portion, 65% are red, or equivalently, 35% are yellow.

We write 35% as a fraction:

\displaystyle 35\%=\frac{35}{100}=\frac{7}{20}

Thus, the portion of yellow crayons is:

\displaystyle \frac{7}{20}\cdot \frac{5}{9}=\frac{7}{36}

This fraction of x crayons is equal to 14, thus:

\displaystyle x=\frac{14}{\frac{7}{36}}=14\cdot\frac{36}{7}

x = 72

There are 72 crayons in the box

The value of a bank account, y, increases by 5% each year, x. If the initial value of the account is $800, which equation repres
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Equation to represent the situation = 800=Y(1.05)^X

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial investment = Y

Growth rate (r) = 5% = 5 / 100 = 0.05

Number of year (n) = X year

Amount after X year = $800

Find:

Equation to represent the situation:

Computation:

Amount = Initial\ investment (1+r)^n\\\\800 = Y (1+0.05)^X\\\\800 = Y (1.05)^X\\\\

Equation to represent the situation = 800=Y(1.05)^X
