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.

How many miles equals 26 km
Sliva [168]

Given data:

The given distance is d=26 km.

We know 1 kilometer is equal to approx 0.621 miles.

1km= 0.621 miles

Multiply the above expression with 26 on both sides.

26(1 km)= 26(0.621 miles)

26 km= 16.146 miles.

Thus, 26 kilometer is equal to 16.146 miles

John is making trail mix he mixed 10.33 cups of raisins 12.25 cups of pretzels and 7.50 cups of chocolate to make 4 servings est
Mariulka [41]

Answer: 30.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Cups of raisins mixed= 10.33

Cups of pretzels mixed= 12.25

Cups of chocolate mixed= 7.50

When each ingredients is rounded to the nearest tenths, it will be:

Cups of raisins mixed= 10.3

Cups of pretzels mixed= 12.3

Cups of chocolate mixed= 7.5

Total trail mixed by John= 10.3 + 12.3 + 7.5 = 30.1

30.1 cups was mixed together by John.
