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.

Need answer with full work
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 17x - 60

(x - 20)(x + 3)

x^2 + 3x - 20x - 60

x^2 - 17x - 60

(x + 20) is not one of the factors

using F.O.I.L., it would have been

x^2 + 17x - 60
