Reports on a student’s ACT, SAT, or MCAT usually give the percentile as well as the actual score. The percentile is just the cum

ulative proportion stated as a percent: the percent of all scores that were lower than this one. In 2012, the total MCAT scores were close to Normal with mean 25.3 and standard deviation 6.5. William scored 31.A) What was his percentile? (Use table A; z table) He scored better than about (± ± 0.01%) % of all MCAT takers.

Answer:

The percentile is calculated with the following probability:

P(X

And using the z score we got:

P(X

So then we can conclude that 31 represent approximately the percentile 81 on the distribution given

He scored better than about 80.98 % of all MCAT takers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(25.3,6.5)  

Where \mu=25.3 and \sigma=6.5

And for this case we have a score of 31

The percentile is calculated with the following probability:

P(X

And using the z score we got:

P(X

So then we can conclude that 31 represent approximately the percentile 81 on the distribution given

He scored better than about 80.98 % of all MCAT takers.

Vadim26 [7]

Hence the answer is 480ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Elena wonders how much water it will take to fill her cup. She drops her pencil in the cup and notice it just fit diagonally. The pencil is 17cm long (hypotenes) and the cup is 15cm tall.

To find how much water it can hold

SOLUTION

s

\sqrt{x {} ^{ 2}  + x {}^{2}  + 15 {}^{2}  = 17 }

2x {}^{2}  = 64

x {}^{2}  = 32

x = 5.66

therefore volume of the cup

5.66 \times 5.66 \times 15cm|

480cm³= 480ml

Solve 3 a. i and ii<br> And 3 b. i and ii
Inessa05 [86]
For 3a, we see that it states that the submarine is 800 feet below sea level. Since it is below sea level, it is negative (as sea level is 0) and therefore -800, making ii correct.

For 3b, since the elevation is -150 feet, and negative means below sea level, the reef is 150 feet below sea level, making i correct.
