Answer: the minimum score required for an A grade is 91

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the scores on the test are normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = scores on the test.

µ = mean score

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 81.8

σ = 7.8

The probability value for the scores in the top 11% would be (1 - 11/100) = (1 - 0.11) = 0.89

Looking at the normal distribution table, the z score corresponding to the probability value is 1.23

Therefore,

1.23 = (x - 81.8)/7.8

Cross multiplying by 114, it becomes

1.23 × 7.8 = x - 81.8

9.594 = x - 81.8

x = 9.594 + 81.8

x = 91 rounded to the nearest whole number.

What is the equation in point-slope form of a line that passes through the points (−4, −1) and (5, 7) ?
Sergio039 [100]

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (-4, -1) and (5, 7). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{7-(-1)}{5-(-4)}=\dfrac{7+1}{5+4}=\dfrac{8}{9}\\\\\boxed{y-7=\dfrac{8}{9}(x-5)}

Use the function below to find F(2)<br> F(x)=1/3•4^x<br> A.)2<br> B.)4<br> C.)8/3<br> D.)16/3
inna [77]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The function F(x) = \frac{1}{3}*4^x has value F(2) when x = 2 is substituted.

F(x) = \frac{1}{3}*4^x\\F(2) = \frac{1}{3}*4^2\\F(2) = \frac{1}{3}*16\\F(2) = \frac{16}{3}

Evaluate. –1.65 + (–3.4)
elena55 [62]
Hey there! 

This seems like a algebraic expression

SO,
Remember: negative and negative = positive
                      positive and positive = positive
                     positive and negative = negative
                       negative and positive = negative

In this problem we will be doing negative and negative so that means our answer will be a negative 

Firstly, lets line up our decimals to solve this problem (once when you do that , you can solve it easier)

-1.65 &#10;\\ +&#10;\\ (-3.4)&#10;

Answer: 
-5.05

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day
