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.

Given f(x)=-x-1, solve for x when f(x)=-10
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

f(x) = -10

set the equation equal to -10 and solve for x:

-10 = -x-1

Add 1 to both sides:

-9 = -x

Divide both sides by -1:

x = 9

xz_007 [3.2K]

- We have 52 cards in a deck of cards.

- We have 4 cards of the same number (4 jack, 4 aces...).

Probability of drawing a jack = 4/52

Probability of drawing a jack followed by an ace =(4/52)*(4/52)=0.00592

A gardener uses 76 ft. Of fencing to enclose a rectangular shaped garden. The width of the garden is 2 ft. Shorter than 3 times
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

  • 76 = 2(x + (3x-2))
  • 28 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x represents the length in feet, and the width is 2 ft shorter than 3 times the length, the width is 3x-2.

The perimeter is twice the sum of length and width, so we can write the equation ...

  76 = 2(x + (3x-2))

  38 = 4x -2 . . . . . divide by 2, simplify

  40 = 4x . . . . . . . .add 2

  10 = x . . . . . . . . . the length of the garden is 10 ft

The width of the garden is ...

  3·10 -2 = 28 . . . feet

The width of the garden is 28 feet.
