An art history professor assigns letter grades on a test according to the following scheme. A: Top 13% of scores B: Scores below

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.

2(vh)/k=r Solve equation for v in terms of all other variables involved
aivan3 [116]

The equation v in terms of other variables is v = kr/2h

<h3>What is the subject of an equation?</h3>

It is a variable which is expressed in terms of other variables involved in the formula.

Formulas are written so that a single variable, the subject of the formula is on the L.H.S. of the equation. Everything else goes on the right side of the equation. We evaluate the formula by substituting for the literal numbers on the right hand side.

2(vh) / k = r

by cross multiplication

2(vh) = kr

divide both sides by 2h

v = kr/2h

In conclusion, v in terms of other variables is  kr/2h

Which is the equation of a line with a slope of -1/3 and a Y intercept at (0,1)
Len [333]

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute the given values in y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

y = -1/3x + b

at point (0, 1)

1 = -1/3 × 0 + b

1 = 0 + b

b = 1

y = -1/3 + 1

Is the following relation a function? {(0.3, 0.6), (0.4, 0.8), (0.3, 0.7), (0.5, 0.5)}
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

To be a function, the x values must correspond to one and only one y value.

In the coordinates given, (0.3, 0.6) and (0.3, 0.7) have the same x- value.

That means that they cannot be a function.
