The answer is C that is X=7 and X=-1
multiple x through the given equation to get rid of a fraction. It will be
After that bring 6X to the LHS of the equation
so that it will look like the general equation that is
Use the quadratic formula (or any other approach to find the values of x
You will arrive at
Answer:
the student should score atleast 229 to be among the top 10%.
Step-by-step explanation:
in terms of the normal distribution, and if the table that you're using calculates the area of the normal distribution from the mean to a point x, only then what we are actually finding the value 'x' at which the z-score is at 40% (the rest 50% is already skipped by the table)
after finding the the value at this z-score, we can find the value of x at which the score is in the top 10% range.
we can find the z-score either using a normal distribution table or calculator. (but be sure what area is it calculating)
looking at the table the closest value we can find is, 0.4015 at z = 1.29 ((it is above 40% because we want to be in the top 10% range)
the student should score atleast 229 to be among the top 10%.
