Answer:
The percentle for Abby's score was the 89.62nd percentile.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation(which is the square root of the variance)
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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.
Abby's mom score:
93rd percentile in the math SAT exam. In 1982 the mean score was 503 and the variance of the scores was 9604.
93rd percentile. X when Z has a pvalue of 0.93. So X when Z = 1.476.
So
Abby's score
She scored 648.
So
has a pvalue of 0.8962.
The percentle for Abby's score was the 89.62nd percentile.
These are a huge pain. First set up your initial triangle with A and B as your base angles and C as your vertex angle. Now drop an altitude and call it h. You need to solve for h. Use sin 56 = h/13 to get that h = 10.8. The rule is that if the side length of a is greater than the height but less than the side length of b, you have 2 triangles. h<a<b --> 10.8<12<13. Those are true statements so we have 2 triangles. Side a is the side that swings, this is the one we "move", forming the second triangle. First we have to solve the first triangle using the Law of Sines, then we can solve the second. 
to get that angle B is 64 degrees. Now find C: 180-56-64=60. And now for side c: 
and c=12.5. That's your first triangle. In the second triangle, side a is the swinging side and that length doesn't change. Neither does the angle measure. Angle B has a supplement of 180-64 which is 116. So the new angle B in the second triangle is 116, but the length of b doesn't change, either. I'll show you how you know you're right about that in just a sec. The only angle AND side that both change are C and c. If our new triangle has angles 56 and 116, then C has to be 8 degrees. Using the Law of Sines again, we can solve for c:
and c = 2.0. We can look at this new triangle and determine the side measures are correct because the longest side will always be across from the largest angle, and the shortest side will always be across from the smallest angle. The new angle B is 116, which is across from the longest side of 13. These are hard. Ugh.
