Answer:

59 to 66

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean test scores = u = 74.2

Standard Deviation = \sigma = 9.6

According to the given data, following is the range of grades:

Grade A: 85% to 100%

Grade B: 55% to 85%

Grade C: 19% to 55%

Grade D: 6% to 19%

Grade F: 0% to 6%

So, the grade D will be given to the students from 6% to 19% scores. We can convert these percentages to numerical limits using the z scores. First we need to to identify the corresponding z scores of these limits.

6% to 19% in decimal form would be 0.06 to 0.19. Corresponding z score for  0.06 is -1.56 and that for 0.19 is -0.88 (From the z table)

The formula for z score is:

z=\frac{x-u}{\sigma}

For z = -1.56, we get:

-1.56=\frac{x-74.2}{9.6}\\\\ x = 59

For z = -0.88, we get:

-0.88=\frac{x-74.2}{9.6}\\\\ x = 66

Therefore, a numerical limits for a D grade would be from 59 to 66 (rounded to nearest whole numbers)

Can anyone please help me with number 17?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

The answer is G. I know because, 1.75 * 3 (slices of pizza) = 5.25.

13.75 - 5.25 = 8.5

8.5 / 4 (hot dogs) = 2.1 (price per hot dog)

We can apply this to Sarah by saying

2 * 1.75 = 3.5

3 * 2.1 = 6.3

Added equals 9.8 or 9.75 (Sarah's total)

Correct me if I am wrong hope this helps:)

What is the value of x?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

x = 30°.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the value of 'x', we can first derive the value of one of the angles that make up the triangle.

Notice that there is an angle with a measure of 100°. The angle that makes up the angle of the triangle is called a Vertical Angle. Therefore, if the angle in red is 100°, the vertical angle, or the third angle of the triangle, is 100°.

There are two congruent sides to the triangle, as seen by the congruent lines. This means that both of the other two angles must be equal. Find the value of 'x' by:

180 - 100 = 80. Since the value of one angle was 100°, and the angles in a triangle must add up to 180°, you can simply subtract to find the sum of the other two angles.

(x + 10) + (x + 10) = 80

2x + 20 = 80

2x = 60

x = 30°.
