Final numeric grades in a certain course are normally distributed with a mean of 72.3 and a standard deviation of 6.4. The profe

Answer:

The minumum numeric grade you have to earn to obtain an A is 81.29.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 72.3, \sigma = 6.4$

The professor curves the grades so that the top 8% of students will receive an A. What is the minumum numeric grade you have to earn to obtain an A?

The minimum numeric value is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 1-0.08 = 0.92. So it is X when Z = 1.405.

So

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

$1.405 = \frac{X - 72.3}{6.4}$

$X - 72.3 = 1.405*6.4$

$X = 81.29$

The minumum numeric grade you have to earn to obtain an A is 81.29.

What is the area of the largest rectangle with lower base on the x-axis and upper vertices on the curve y = 27 − x^2? show your

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given curve is

$y=27-x^2$

We need to find the area of the largest rectangle with lower base on the x-axis and upper vertices on the curve $y=27-x^2$ .

Let the vertex in quadrant I be (x,y), then the vertex in quadrant II is (-x,y) .

Length of the rectangle = 2x

Width of the rectangle = y

Area of a rectangle is

$Area=Length\times width$

$Area=2x\times y$

Substitute the value of y from the given equation.

$Area=2x(27-x^2)$

$A=54x-2x^3$ .... (1)

Differentiate with respect to x.

$\frac{dA}{dx}=54-6x^2$

Equate $\frac{dA}{dx}=0$ , to find the critical points.

$0=54-6x^2$

$6x^2=54$

Divide both sides by 6.

$x^2=9$

$x=\pm 3$

The value of x can not be negative because side length can not be negative.

Substitute x=3 in equation (1).

$A=54(3)-2(3)^3$

$A=162-54$

$A=108$

The area of the largest rectangle is 108 square units.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angle of a circle has the theorem divide in 2 the sum of the arcs on the circle.

The circle has arcs 42 and 86.

The interior angle is 42 + 86 = 128.

128/2 = 64
