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.

(9,5) and (4,-7) find the distance between two points
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula, d = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2}, where (x2, y2) and (x1, y1) are two different points on the line.

Plug in the values:

d = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2}

d = \sqrt{(9 - 4)^2 + (5 + 7)^2}

d = \sqrt{5^2 + 12^2}

d = \sqrt{25 + 144}

d = \sqrt{169}

d = 13

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y=x/3-5
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

a. 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x/3-5  (rewrite x - term)

y = (1/3) x + 5

recall that in the slope-intercept form of  a linear equation y = mx + b

m is the slope.

In our case, we can clearly see that slope  m = (1/3)

4.8 + 2.2w − 1.4w + 2.4
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

7.2 + 0.8w

Step-by-step explanation:

combine like terms. Like terms have same variable with same power.

2.2w and (-1.4w) are like terms & 4.8 and 2.4 are like terms.

4.8 + 2.2w - 1.4w + 2.4 = 4.8 + 2.4 + 2.2w - 1.4w

                                      = 7.2 + 0.8w
