Answer:

A score of 150.25 is necessary to reach the 75th percentile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

A set of test scores is normally distributed with a mean of 130 and a standard deviation of 30.

This means that \mu = 130, \sigma = 30

What score is necessary to reach the 75th percentile?

This is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.75, so X when Z = 0.675.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

0.675 = \frac{X - 130}{30}

X - 130 = 0.675*30

X = 150.25

A score of 150.25 is necessary to reach the 75th percentile.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation

Find the diagram attached. You can see from the diagram that both angles are vertically opposite angles and vertically opposite angles are equal.

Hence 2x+13 = 3x-3

Collect like terms

2x-3x = -3-13

-x = -16

Multiply both sides by -1

-1(-x) = -1(-16)

x = 16

Hence the value of x is 16

Estimate 10/12 − 3/8 using benchmark values. Your equation must show the estimate for each fraction and the final estimate for t
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer: \frac{11}{24}

Step-by-step explanation:

Give expression is,

\frac{10}{12}-\frac{3}{8}

Since L.C.M ( 12, 8 ) = 24

=\frac{10\times 2}{12\times 2}-\frac{3\times 3}{8\times 3}

=\frac{20}{24}-\frac{9}{24}

=\frac{20-9}{24}

=\frac{11}{24}

\text{Hence, }\frac{10}{12}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{11}{24}
