Many states assess the skills of their students in various grades. One program that is available for this purpose is the Nationa

l Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). One of the tests provided by the NAEP assesses the reading skills of twelfth-grade students. In a recent year, the national mean score was 289 and the standard deviation was 37. Assume that these scores are approximately Normally distributed, N(289, 37). How high a score is needed to be in the top 25% of students who take this exam (use technology)?

Answer:

A score of 314 is needed to be in the top 25% of students who take this exam.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that one of the tests provided by the NAEP assesses the reading skills of twelfth-grade students. In recent years, the national mean score was 289 and the standard deviation was 37.

Let X = <u><em>scores of the tests provided by the NAEP</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                           Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = national mean score = 289

           \sigma = standard deviation = 37

Now, we have to find how high a score is needed to be in the top 25% of students who take this exam, that means;

            P(X > x) = 0.25     {where x is the required score}

            P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{x-289}{37} ) = 0.25

            P(Z > \frac{x-289}{37} ) = 0.25

In the z table, the critial value of z that represents the top 25% of the area is given as 0.6745, that is;

                        \frac{x-289}{37}=0.6745

                        {x-289}=0.6745\times 37

                        x = 289 + 24.96 = 313.96 ≈ 314

Hence, a score of 314 is needed to be in the top 25% of students who take this exam.

The average cost of an IRS Form 1040 tax filing at Thetis Tax Service is $138.00. Assuming a normal distribution, if 77 percent
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

22.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the average cost of an IRS Form 1040 tax filing at Thetis Tax Service is $138.00.

Let x be the average cost an IRS Form 1040 tax filing at Thetis Tax Service

P(X is given

From std normal distribution table we find 77th percentile z value.

z=0.74

Corresponding X value = 155

i.e. 0.74=\frac{155-138}{s} where s is the std deviation

Simplify to get

Std deviation  = \frac{17}{0.74} \\=22.97

five people, each working 8 hours a day, can assemble 400 toys in a five day work week. what is the average number of toys assem
vladimir1956 [14]

The question asks for the rate of toys per hour.

So we shall divide the total toys assembled by the total hours.

Its a five day week.

The number of hours allotted per day are 8.

So total allotted during the week are 8 × 5 = 40 hours.

Number of toys made during the week are 400.

Hence the number of toys assembled per hour per person

= number of toys / number of hours

= 400 / 40

= 10 toys per hour per person.

The average number of toys assembled per hour per person is 10.
