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.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The end behaviour  as x gets larger and positive ( right- hand end )or larger and negative ( left- hand end )is determined by the term of the greatest degree.

For p(x) that is 4x^{8}, with

• Even degree (8) and positive leading coefficient (4), then

as x → ∞ , p(x) → ∞ and

as x → - ∞ , p(x) → ∞

Write an equation in slope intercept form of the line that passes through the point (-5, -1) with slope -3.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

y= -3x-16

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form is written as y=mx+b.  m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.  -3=m

we know that (-5,-1) is 5 points away from the origin, and that the slope is -3, so 5 times -3 equals -15.  subtract 15 from -1 (y-coordinate) in order to get the y-intercept (when x=0).

State what additional information is required in order to know that the triangles are congruent by AAS. part 2
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The trick is to find the third angle

180 - A - <BCA = <CBA

180 - X - <BCX = <CBX

Everything else is OK

<CBA = <CBX                  Equals equated to an equal express = an equal expression.

Now by a little slight of hand, you get the two triangles to be equal by ASA, which always works.

Cheating you say? There is no such thing as cheating if it correct and it works.
