Nina and Amy began arguing about who did better on their tests, but they couldn't decide who did better given that they took dif

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.
c) Which person did relatively better?
i. Nina
ii. Amy
iii. They did equally well.

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.

Simplify the answer -12 ÷ 3 × (-8 + (-4)² - 6) + 2 I need the steps for the equation on how to solve it.
aleksley [76]

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

We use PEMDAS to solve this,

so P stands for parentheses, so that's where we start.

We first, square the innermost parentheses with the exponent which is the E in PEMDAS, then then the outer parentheses

-12/3*(-8+16-6)+2

-12/3*(2)+2

Now we divide as in Division in PEMDAS.

-4*2+2

Now we multiply as in Multiplication in PEMDAS.

-8+2

Now we add as in A for Addition

-6

In PEMDAS, Multiplication doesn't always come before division, and same for addition and subtraction.

A submarine cuts through the water at an elevation of 203 meters under the sea. The sub rises, and the elevation changes by 4.3
Natalija [7]
It should be 76.1m under water. First multiple 15x4.3=64.5, and 5.2x12=62.4. Add those together to get 126.9. Subtract that from the initial elevation of 203 and get your answer.
