Your friend says that 14.5% is equivilent to 14.5

14.5% is not equivilent to 14.5 because 14.5% is a part of the whole 1 or 100%. 14.5 is greater than one so that is incorrect.

To find the equivilent you divide the percent by 100 since it is part of 100 and it is a fraction of 14.5/100.

14.5/100 is 0.145 which is the equivilent.

That statement is incorrect. When writing a percentage as a decimal, the decimal point goes before the tens place, like so: .145

SOLUTION: a diver jumps from a diving board that is 24 feet above the water. the height of the diver is given by h= -16(t-1.5)(t

lara [203]

Answer:

The diver will hit the water at 1.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$h= -16(t-1.5)(t+1)$

Required (Missing from the question)

When will the diver hit the water?

To do this, we simply solve for t

When the diver hits the water, the height is 0 (at that point)

So, substitute 0 for h in $h= -16(t-1.5)(t+1)$

$0= -16(t-1.5)(t+1)$

Divide both sides by -16

$\frac{0}{-16} =\frac{-16(t-1.5)(t+1)}{-16}$

$\frac{0}{-16} =(t-1.5)(t+1)$

$0 =(t-1.5)(t+1)$

$(t-1.5)(t+1)=0$

Split

$t - 1.5 = 0$ or $t + 1 = 0$

Solve for t

$t = 1.5$ or $t = -1$

But time (t) can not be negative.

So:

$t = 1.5$

Hence, the diver will hit the water at 1.5 seconds

The national average for the math portion of the College Board’s Scholastic Aptitude Test

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

a) 0.1587

b) 0.023

c) 0.341

d) 0.818

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 515

Standard Deviation, σ = 100

We are given that the distribution of SAT score is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

a) P(score greater than 615)

P(x > 615)

$P( x > 615) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{615 - 515}{100}) = P(z > 1)$

$= 1 - P(z \leq 1)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x > 615) = 1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587 = 15.87\%$

b) b) P(score greater than 715)

$P(x > 715) = P(z > \displaystyle\frac{715-515}{100}) = P(z > 2)\\\\P( z > 2) = 1 - P(z \leq 2)$

Calculating the value from the standard normal table we have,

$1 - 0.977 = 0.023 = 2.3\%\\P( x > 715) = 2.3\%$

c) P(score between 415 and 515)

$P(415 \leq x \leq 515) = P(\displaystyle\frac{415 - 515}{100} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{515-515}{100}) = P(-1 \leq z \leq 0)\\\\= P(z \leq 0) - P(z < -1)\\= 0.500 - 0.159 = 0.341 = 34.1\%$

$P(415 \leq x \leq 515) = 34.1\%$

d) P(score between 315 and 615)

$P(315 \leq x \leq 615) = P(\displaystyle\frac{315 - 515}{100} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{615-515}{100}) = P(-2 \leq z \leq 1)\\\\= P(z \leq 1) - P(z < -2)\\= 0.841 - 0.023 = 0.818 = 81.8\%$

$P(315 \leq x \leq 615) = 81.8\%$
