Answer:

23.58-th

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation of company B's profit is:

\sigma_B=\sqrt{2.25}\sigma_A

Let X be the profit correspondent to the 14th percentile of company A's profit.

The z-score for 14th percentile of a normal distribution is roughly -1.08.

The z-scores for X in companies A and B are:

-1.08 = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma_a} \\z_B = \frac{X-\mu}{\sqrt{2.25}*\sigma_a}\\z_B=\frac{-1.08}{\sqrt{2.25}}\\z_B = -0.72

The z-score for X in company B's profit distribution is -0.72, which corresponds to the 23.58-th percentile.

AD is perpendicular to BC so slope Ad = -1/slope of BC

Slope of BC = (2 - (-1)) / (- 6- 3) = 3 / -9 = -1/3

So slope of AD = -1 / (-1/3) = -3/-1 = 3 Answer

Mrs. Bailey gives a test, and her students’ scores range from 30 to 70. She decides to curve the scores, so that they range from
Harman [31]

Answer:

f(x) = x*3/4 + 42.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The original difference between the pair is 70 - 30 = 40

The new difference between the pair is 95 - 65 = 30

Since the differences are not the same, Mrs Bailey must first perform a (slope) multiplication by a factor of 30/40 or 3/4

Then 30 * 3/4 = 22.5

Then she can shift the scores up by 65 - 22.5 = 42.5 in order to get the range from 65 to 95

Therefore, f(x) = x*3/4 + 42.5. We can test that

f(30) = 30*3/4 + 42.5 = 65

f(70) = 70*3/4 + 42.5 = 95
