score) separates the top 15% of the distribution from the rest?b. What SAT score (i.e., X score) separates the top 10% of the distribution from the rest?c. What SAT score (i.e., X score) separates the top 2% of the distribution from the rest?

Answer:

a) 604

b) 628

c) 705.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 500, \sigma = 100

a. What SAT score (i.e., X score) separates the top 15% of the distribution from the rest?

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.85. So it is X when Z = 1.04.

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

1.04 = \frac{X - 500}{100}

X - 500 = 100*1.04

X = 604

b. What SAT score (i.e., X score) separates the top 10% of the distribution from the rest?

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.90. So it is X when Z = 1.28.

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

1.28 = \frac{X - 500}{100}

X - 500 = 100*1.28

X = 628

c. What SAT score (i.e., X score) separates the top 2% of the distribution from the rest?

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.98.So it is X when Z = 2.055.

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

2.055 = \frac{X - 500}{100}

X - 500 = 100*2.055

X = 705.5

The plan of a patio deck is shown at the right. The scale is 2 inches: 6 feet. What are the length and width of the deck
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

5in.=15ft. 2in.=6ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

What you have to do is translate 6ft. into inches which is 72in. Then you divide that by 2in. From that you get 36in. You then take that 36in. and multiply it by the 5in for the length. from that you get 180in. You divide the 180in. by 12 to turn your inches into feet and you end up with 15ft.

I hope this helps.

Rigid transformations how to know when a figure is dilation transformation, rotation and dilation?​
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

the shape could be congruent or similar to its preimage. There are basically four types of transformations: Rotation; Translation; Dilation; Reflection; Definition of Transformations. Transformations could be rigid (where the shape or size of preimage is not changed) and non-rigid (where the size is changed but the shape remains the same).

List the members of P(fa, b, c, d}). Which are proper subsets of fa, b,c, d)?
ankoles [38]

Answer: As i understand, the set is P = {a,b,c,d}

then all the proper subsets are all the sets that belongs to P, that are different of P. Then A is a subset of P if all the elements of A belongs to P, but A is not equal to P

this is:

the sets of one element : {a}, {b}, {c}, {d} and the null set; ∅

sets of two elements: {a,b} , {a,c} , {a.d}, {b,c}, {b,d}, {c,d}

sets of three elements : {a,b,c}, {a,b,d}, {a,c,d}, {b,c,d}

and there arent sets of 4 elements or more.
