Answer:

The scores that are less than or equal to 10.8 are considered significantly low.

The scores that are greater than or equal to 32.4 are considered significantly high.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 21.6

Standard Deviation, σ = 5.4

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

Formula:

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

Significantly low score:

z \leq -2\\z = \displaystyle\frac{x-21.6}{5.4} \leq -2\\\\\displaystyle\frac{x-21.6}{5.4} \leq -2\\\\x\leq -2(5.4) + 21.6\\\Rightarrow x \leq 10.8

Thus, scores that are less than or equal to 10.8 are considered significantly low.

Significantly high score:

z \geq 2\\z = \displaystyle\frac{x-21.6}{5.4} \geq 2\\\\\displaystyle\frac{x-21.6}{5.4} \geq 2\\\\x\geq 2(5.4) + 21.6\\\Rightarrow x \geq 32.4

Thus, scores that are greater than or equal to 32.4 are considered significantly high.

Herber read a total of 36pages in 2 hours. Later on, he read 90 pages in 5 hours. How many pages did Herber read each hour.
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

18 pages per hour.

If you do 36 (the pages/amount) divided by 2 (The time), you get 18.

To double check, when you do 90 (The pages/amount) divided by 5 ( The time), then you get 18 again.

Therefore the answer is 18 pages per hour.
