Until the scale was changed in 1995, SAT scores were based on a scale set many years ago. For Math scores, the mean under the ol

d scale in the 1990s was 470 and the standard deviation was 110. In 2013 the mean was 515 and the standard deviation was 116. Gina took the SAT in 1994 and scored 500 on the Math test. Her cousin Colleen took the SAT in 2013 and scored 530 on the Math test. Who did better relative to their peers, and how can you tell? Group of answer choices Colleen—she scored 30 points higher than Gina. Gina—the standard deviation was bigger in 2013. Gina—her standardized score is higher than Colleen’s.

Answer:

Gina—her standardized score is higher than Colleen’s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Until the scale was changed in 1995, SAT scores were based on a scale set many years ago.

We solve this question using z score formula also know as standardized score formula which is given as:

z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation.

For Gina

Gina took the SAT in 1994 and scored 500 on the Math test.

For Math scores, the mean under the old scale in the 1990s was 470 and the standard deviation was 110.

x = 500

μ = 470

σ = 110

Hence, the z score is given as:

z = 500 - 470/110

z = 0.27273

Gina's z or standardized score is 0.27273

For Colleen

Her cousin Colleen took the SAT in 2013 and scored 530 on the Math test.

In 2013 the mean was 515 and the standard deviation was 116.

x = 530

μ = 515

σ = 116

Hence, the z score is given as:

z = 530 - 515/116

z = 0.12931

Colleen's z or standardized score is 0.12931

The person who did better relative to their peers is Gina and this is because her standardized score is higher than Colleen’s.

One day, a person went to a horse racing area. Instead of counting the number of humans an horses, he conuted 74 heads and 196 l
Komok [63]
A human has 1 head and 2 legs.
A horse has 1 head and 4 legs.

Let's make two equations from what we know.

There were a total of 74 heads.
There were a total of 196 legs.

Let's call humans 'x' and horses 'y'

The total number of heads were 74.
Humans have 1 head, and so do horses.

Our first equation is:
x + y = 74

There were a total of 196 legs. 
Humans have 2 legs, and horses have 4 legs.

Our second equation is:
2x + 4y = 196

Our two equations are:

x + y = 74
2x + 4y = 196

We need to solve this system of equations to find out how many humans and horses were at this racing event.

Multiply the first equation by 2.

2(x + y) = 2(74)
2x + 2y = 148

Our two equations are:

2x + 2y = 148
2x + 4y = 196

Subtract the first equation from the second equation.

2x - 2x + 2y - 4y = 148 - 196
2y - 4y = 148 - 196
-2y = - 48

Divide both sides by -2

y = 24

That means that there were 24 horses.

We can plug back in y = 24 into our first equation to find out how many humans there were.

x + y = 74
x + 24 = 74
x + 24 - 24 = 74 - 24
x = 50

There were 50 humans.

At the horse racing event, there were 24 horses and 50 humans.

Your final answer is B. 24 horses and 50 humans.

Which system of linear inequalities is graphed?
ANEK [815]

To determine the system of inequality that has been graphed, we need to be very smart.


Observe that all the equations are the same.


Also note that all the lines are solid. This should tell you that the inequities should involve.


\ge \:or\: \le



Therefore the answer is between option A and B.



So we choose a point in the solution region to discriminate between A and B.


Let us choose the origin since that is easy to evaluate.


We substitute into option A to get.

y\le 3x-1\:and\: x+ 3y \ge 6




0\le 3(0)-1\:and\: 0+ 3(0) \ge 6




0\le -1\:and\: 0\ge 6


The above statements are false



We now substitute into option B



y\ge 3x-1\:and\: x+ 3y \le 6




0\ge 3(0)-1\:and\: 0+ 3(0) \le 6




0\ge-1\:and\: 0 \le 6


Both statements are true, therefore the correct answer is option B.

Which of the following fractions is equivalent to -84/-90 in the least common terms?
abruzzese [7]
Answer: 14/15

This is because to get to 14/15 you must divide by 6 but when getting to 42/45 you must divide 2. Therefore 14/15 is your answer because the problem went to the most reduced fraction.
