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.

Two standard 6-sided number cubes are rolled, a red one and a blue one. How many different sums are possible? ​
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

There are 11 different sums.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you roll two dice, the smallest number you can get is 2, and the largest 12, and you can get all in between. So 12-2 is equal to 10, but we have to add another 1 because 2 counts. So the answer is 11.

Here is a test to how good your math is,
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Zero

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance AB is ...

... √((5-1)²+(5-2)²) = √(16+9) = 5

The largest right triangle that can be constructed with AB as the hypotenuse is one with an altitude of 5/2 = 2.5 units. Its area will be ...

... (1/2)·5·2.5 = 6.25 . . . . square units

It is not possible to construct the triangle ABC described.

_____

In order to achieve the given area, ∠C would need to be 87.75° or smaller. It could not be 90°.
