In a recent year, a sample of grade 8 Washington State public school students taking a mathematics assessment test had a mean sc

ore of 281 with a standard deviation of 34.4. Possible test scores could range from 0 to 500. Assume that the scores are normally distributed. Question 9 (2.5 points) If 2000 students are randomly selected, how many would you expect to have a score between 250 and 305?

Answer:

The  number is  N  =1147 students

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The population mean is  \mu  =  281

     The standard deviation is  \sigma  =  34.4

    The sample size is  n = 2000

percentage of the would you expect to have a score between 250 and 305 is mathematically represented as

      P(250 <  X <  305 ) =  P(\frac{ 250 - 281}{34.4 }  <  \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma }  < \frac{ 305 - 281}{34.4 }   )

Generally  

             \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma }  =  Z  (Standardized \ value \  of  \  X )

So  

         P(250 <  X <  305 ) =  P(-0.9012<  Z

       P(250 <  X <  305 ) = P(z_2 < 0.698 ) -  P(z_1 <  -0.9012)

From the z table  the value of  P( z_2 < 0.698) =  0.75741

                                         and  P(z_1 < -0.9012) =  0.18374

     P(250 <  X <  305 ) = 0.75741 - 0.18374

      P(250 <  X <  305 ) =  0.57

The  percentage is  P(250 <  X <  305 ) =  57\%

The  number of students that will get this score is

           N  = 2000 * 0.57

           N  =1147

Answer 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you replace the xs with 1/2

(√2•1/2+3)/(6•1/2-5)

Then you solve the multiplications

2•1/2=1

6•1/2=3

Now write them in

(√1+3)/(3-5)

Simplify

(√4)(-2)

Root of 4 equals to

2/-2

And the answer is -1

Answer 17:

Replace x with 8

1/2•8^2-(1/4•8+3)

Solve parenthesis, multiplication first

1/2•8^2-(2+3)

1/2•8^2-(5)

1/2•8^2-5

Solve the 8^2 and the 1/2

1/2•64-5

32-5

The answer is 17

Find the perimeter of a quadrilateral with vertices at R (-2, 1), S (-5, 5), T (2, 5), U (5, 1). Round your answer to the neares
Nezavi [6.7K]
Check the picture below.

now, you can pretty much count the units off the grid for the segments ST and RU, so each is 7 units long, and are parallel, meaning that the other two segments are also parallel, and therefore the same length each.

so we can just find the length for hmmmm say SR, since SR = TU, TU is the same length,

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}&#10;\\\\&#10;S(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad &#10;R(\stackrel{x_2}{-5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5})\qquad \qquad &#10;%  distance value&#10;d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;SR=\sqrt{[-5-(-2)]^2+[5-1]^2}\implies SR=\sqrt{(-5+2)^2+(5-1)^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;SR=\sqrt{(-3)^2+4^2}\implies SR=\sqrt{25}\implies SR=5

sum all segments up, and that's perimeter.

If x^2 = 16(5), then x =
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

4\sqrt{5} or 8.944

Step-by-step explanation:

x^{2} = 16(5)

Simplify

x^{2} =80

Square root both sides to get x by itself

\sqrt{x^{2} } =\sqrt{80}

4\sqrt{5} or 8.944
