Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 25 = 5² , then

$5^{(6-2x)}$ = 5²

Since the bases on both sides are 5 then equate the exponents

6 - 2x = 2 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 2x = - 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = 2

Prompt According to the College Board website, the scores on the math part of the SAT (SAT-M) in a recent year had a mean of 507

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The actual SAT-M score marking the 98th percentile is 735.105.

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:

$\mu = 507, \sigma = 111$
