the top 13% and above the bottom 56% C: Scores below the top 44% and above the bottom 21% D: Scores below the top 79% and above the bottom 9% F: Bottom 9% of scores Scores on the test are normally distributed with a mean of 79.7 and a standard deviation of 8.4. Find the numerical limits for a B grade. Round your answers to the nearest whole number, if necessary.

Answer:

The numerical limits for a B grade are 81 and 89, that is, a score between 81 and 89 gets a B grade.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

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.

Scores on the test are normally distributed with a mean of 79.7 and a standard deviation of 8.4.

This means that \mu = 79.7, \sigma = 8.4

B: Scores below the top 13% and above the bottom 56%

So between the 56th percentile and the 100 - 13 = 87th percentile.

56th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.56, so X when Z = 0.15. Then

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

0.15 = \frac{X - 79.7}{8.4}

X - 79.7 = 0.15*8.4

X = 81

87th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.87, so X when Z = 1.13.

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

1.13 = \frac{X - 79.7}{8.4}

X - 79.7 = 1.13*8.4

X = 89

The numerical limits for a B grade are 81 and 89, that is, a score between 81 and 89 gets a B grade.

Simplify 6-12b divided by 3a-6ab
siniylev [52]

Answer:

\frac{2}{a}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{6-12b}{3a-6ab} ← factor both numerator and denominator

= \frac{6(1-2b)}{3a(1-2b)} ← cancel common factor (1 - 2b) on numerator/denominator

= \frac{6}{3a} ← cancel 6 and 3 by 3

= \frac{2}{a}

Joan loves eating fruits. Joan paid $14.20 for apples, and $7.86 for cherries with two $20 bills. How much change did Joan recei
Inga [223]
Joan received $17 and 94 cents ($17.94)


$14.20 + $7.86= $22.06 (her total)

$20+$20= $40 (how much she paid with)

$40- $22.06= $17.94
