The scores for a state's peace officer training test are normally distributed with a mean of 55 and a standard deviation of 12.

The test scores range from 0 to 100. A state agency will only interview applicants with test scores of 43 or greater. About what percent of the people have test scores that make them eligible to be interviewed?

Answer:

About 84% of the people have test scores that make them eligible to be interviewed

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 question, we have that:

\mu = 55, \sigma = 12

A state agency will only interview applicants with test scores of 43 or greater. About what percent of the people have test scores that make them eligible to be interviewed?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 43. So

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

Z = \frac{43 - 55}{12}

Z = -1

Z = -1 has a pvalue of 0.1587

1 - 0.1587 = 0.8413

Rounding to the nearest percent

About 84% of the people have test scores that make them eligible to be interviewed

Answer:

1.

a = 112

b = 68

c = 68

2.

a = 127

3.

a=35

b=40

c=35

d=70

4.

a= 30

b=70

c = 30

d=70

e = 130

I'll help you with the rest later

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 112 because of allied angles rule

b and c = 68 because of angles at a point

360-112-112 ÷2

2. a = 127 because of angles on a straight line rule.

180-38-15

3. d= 70, vertically opposite angle

using angles on a straight line, 180 - 70 - 40 ÷ 2

we now have the two angles and because they are vertically opposite a and c = 35

b = 40 because of vertically opposite angles

4. a=30 because 90-70

since a=30, take 90 - 30 to get b, 70

d= 70, vertically opposite angles

e = 130 because a+b+c, vertically opposite angles

Brainly is erroneously preventing my response from being posted due to nonexistent profanity or links. So, I have converted my answer into an image file, which I have attached. I also attached an annotated diagram of the figure in the image you posted. Please let me know if you have trouble accessing either. Hope this helps.
