Answer:

920 points.      

Step-by-step explanation:    

We have been given that the mean score for a standardized test is 800 and the standard deviation is 120. To qualify for a special summer camp for accelerated students, a student must score within the top 16% of all scores on the test.

First of all we will find probability of 0.16 using normal distribution table.

Using normal distribution our Z score will be 0.994458

Now we will use raw-score formula to find the score (x) that a student must make to qualify for summer camp.  

x=\text{Mean}+\text{ Standard deviation* Z score}

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

x=800+120\times 0.994458

x=800+119.33496

x=919.33496

Upon rounding to nearest whole number we will get,

x=920

Therefore, a student must make 920 points to qualify for summer camp.

The pecan crops are harvested for  friday and saturday (2days)

To find :

What fraction these 2 days corresponds to the harvesting days?

Solution;

The  pecan crops are growing in America  in state of Georgia

and consider that in months of October and November  pecan crop becomes mature .

The month of October and November days are 31 and 30 .

Hence the Total days  of harvesting are 61 days.

In these days total Pecan crops will be harvested.(100% work in 61 days)

Now the farmer harvest for 2 days only .

Required fraction=2/61

=0.0327869

=3.28%

Depending upon the crop field and planting answer will vary

But 3.28 % of total work will be done in 2 days on harvesting

Tiffany has $54. She is shopping for umbrellas that cost $12 each. She writes the following equation to model the situation. Pla
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

4 umbrellas

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Umbrellas              Total Money

                1                                            $12                

                2                                           $24

                3                                           $36

                4                                           $48

She can't go over $48 because $48 + $12 is $60, which is more than she has ($54). So the max amount of umbrellas she can buy is 4.
