Answer:

The passing score is 645.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 553, \sigma = 72

If the board wants to set the passing score so that only the best 10% of all applicants pass, what is the passing score?

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 1-0.1 = 0.9. So it is X when Z = 1.28.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.28 = \frac{X - 553}{72}

X - 553 = 1.28*72

X = 645.2

The passing score is 645.2

You earn $22 an hour and work 40 hours this week. Your Federal Income Tax rate is 20% and Social Security Tax rate is 5%. What i
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

$660

Step-by-step explanation:

22*40 = 880 dollars. This is your gross pay.

Then, 880*0.2 (deduction of federal income tax rate) = 176 dollars

We also have to deduct the social security tax rate so, 880*0.05 = 44 dollars

Therefore, we totally have to deduct 176 + 44 dollars which is 220 dollars. 880-220 = 660.

Let me know if im wrong!
