Answer:

d. Cannot be determined with the information provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

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

Finding the better relative position:

The score with the better relative position is the one with a higher z-score.

To find the z-score, the mean and the standard deviation is needed, and in this question, the standard deviation is not given, and thus, the correct answer is given by option d.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope=(-2-2)/(-2-6)=-4/-8=1/2

eq. of line is

y-2=1/2(x-6)

2y-4=x-6

2y=x-6+4

2y=x-2

Determine two pairs of polar coordinates for the point (4, -4) with 0° ≤ θ < 360°.
umka2103 [35]
A polar coordinate is that which can be written as (r, θ) where r is the radius and θ is the angle. 

The radius, r, is also the hypotenuse of the right triangle that can be formed. Hence, it can be calculated through the equation,
    
                   r² = x² + y²
If we are to simplify this for the r alone, we have,
                     r = sqrt (x² + y²)

Substituting the known values,
               r = sqrt ((4)² + (-4)²) = 4√2

The x and y can be related through the trigonometric function, tangent. 
      tan θ = y/x
To solve for θ
   θ = tan⁻¹(y/x) = tan⁻¹(-4/4) = -45° = 315°

Hence, the polar coordinate is <em>(4√2, 315°)</em>
