Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

105 over 120 is the fraction that he got so you subtract 105 from 120 to get how much he missed. 120-105=15

He miscalculated by 15 cm out of the total of 120, 15/ 120

15/120=5/40=2.5/20 multiply the top and bottom by 5 to get the percentage out of 100. 2.5 times 5 =12.5, so he miscalculated by 12.5%

Answer:

X = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation add 3 to both sides of the equation

1/2x-3+3=2-3/4x+3

Simplify

1/2x = -3/4x + 5

Add 3/4x to both sides

1/2x + 3/4x = -3/4x + 5 + 3/4x

Simplify

5/4x=5 Multiply both sides by 5

5x=20 divide both sides by 5

5x divided by 5 and 20 divided by 5

=4

College freshmen took a psychology exam. If the mean is 80, the SD is 10, and the scores have normal distribution, what percent
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

  (a)  2%

Step-by-step explanation:

A score of 60 is 2 standard deviations below the mean (80 -2·10 = 60). The empirical rule tells you that 95% of the distribution is within 2 standard deviations of the mean. The remaining 5% is split evenly between those that are more than 2 SD above the mean and those that are more than 2 SD below the mean.

That tells you the percentage who failed is about 2.5%. The best answer choice is 2%.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The empirical rule is a little bit sloppy, but it gets you in the ballpark. The actual percentage is closer to 2.275%.
