A standardized test was given to a set of high school juniors and the distribution of the data is bell shaped. The mean score 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. What score must a student make to qualify for summer camp?

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.

A power system will collapse if a ground fault occurs on any two of lines A, B, and C simultaneously. Assume that ground faults
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

0.000298 = 0.0298% probability that the system will collapse

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of possible ways the system can fail:

2 lines from a set of 3 fail, or all three fail.

Two from a set of 3:

Can be A and B, A and C, or B and C. Three possible outcomes then.

The probability of each is:

0.01*0.01*0.99

Two failling, each with 0.01 probability, and 1 working, with 0.99 probability.

All three:

Each with 0.01 probability.

a) What is the probability that the system will collapse

Both cases, so

p = 3*(0.01)^2*0.99 + (0.01)^3 = 0.000298

0.000298 = 0.0298% probability that the system will collapse

Scores from an exam are normally distributed with a mean of 85 and a standard deviation of 5. Suppose 188 students take the exam
charle [14.2K]

The mean is \mu=85 and standard deviation is \sigma=5. Then the variable X\sim N(85,5).

Use substitution Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{X-85}{5}, then the variable Z\sim N(0,1).

The probability Pr(X>80) can be calculated in the following way:

for X=80, Z=\dfrac{80-85}{5} =-1 and Pr(X>80)=Pr(Z>-1). From the diagram Pr(Z>-1)=0.34+0.34+0.135+0.025=0.84.

Conclusion: if 188 students take the exam, then 188·0.84=157.92 (157) would receive a score above 80

The coefficient of the ab term is
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

A coefficient is an integer that is written along with a variable or it is multiplied by the variable. For example, in the term 2x, 2 is the co-efficient.

Those variables which do not carry any number along with them, have a coefficient 1. For example, the term y has coefficient 1.
