ferent tests. Nina took a test in English and earned a 71.8, and Amy took a test in Social Studies and earned a 60.7. Use the fact that all the students' test grades in the English class had a mean of 71.7 and a standard deviation of 11.7, and all the students' test grades in Social Studies had a mean of 60.6 and a standard deviation of 10.5 to answer the following questions.
a) Calculate the z-score for Nina's test grade.
b) Calculate the z-score for Amy's test grade.

Answer:

a) Z = 0.0085

b) Z = 0.0095

c)  ii. Amy

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Question a:

Nina took a test in English and earned a 71.8. In the English class had a mean of 71.7 and a standard deviation of 11.7.

This means that X = 71.8, \mu = 71.7, \sigma = 11.7

So

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

Z = \frac{71.8 - 71.7}{11.7}

Z = 0.0085

Question b:

Amy took a test in Social Studies and earned a 60.7. Students' test grades in Social Studies had a mean of 60.6 and a standard deviation of 10.5.

This means that X = 60.7, \mu = 60.6, \sigma = 10.5

So

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

Z = \frac{60.7 - 60.6}{10.5}

Z = 0.0095

c) Which person did relatively better?

Amy had a higher z-score, so she did relatively better.

The sum of two numbers is 49 and the difference is 25 . What are the numbers?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

x = 37 y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be one number

Let y = other number

x+y = 49

x-y = 25

Add the equations together

x+y = 49

x-y = 25

---------------

2x = 74

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 74/2

x =37

x+y = 49

37+y = 49

Subtract 37 from each side

37+y-37 = 49-37

y = 12

MakcuM [25]

If Lopez's mailing bill continues to deduct 19$ from his bank account every month for a year, then in total, the deductions total for the year would be $228.00.

Why?

$19.00 is being taken away each month. There are 12 months in a year.

$19.00 x 12 months = the total of $228.00 a year.
