For a normal distribution with μ=500 and σ=100, what is the minimum score necessary to be in the top 60% of the distribution?

STatiana [176]

Answer:

475.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that for a normal distribution with μ=500 and σ=100. We are asked to find the minimum score that is necessary to be in the top 60% of the distribution.

We will use z-score formula and normal distribution table to solve our given problem.

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

Top 60% means greater than 40%.

Let us find z-score corresponding to normal score to 40% or 0.40.

Using normal distribution table, we got a z-score of $-0.25$ .

Upon substituting our given values in z-score formula, we will get:

$-0.25=\frac{x-500}{100}$

$-0.25*100=\frac{x-500}{100}*100$

$-25=x-500$

$-25+500=x-500+500$

$x=475$

Therefore, the minimum score necessary to be in the top 60% of the distribution is 475.

Find the volume and area for the objects shown and answer Question

klio [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

You must write formulas regarding the volume and surface area of the given solids.

$\bold{\#1\ Rectangular\ prism:}\\\\V=lwh\\SA=2lw+2lh+2wh=2(lw+lh+wh)\\\\\bold{\#2\ Cylinder:}\\\\V=\pi r^2h\\SA=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh=2\pir(r+h)\\\\\bold{\#3\ Sphere:}\\\\V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\SA=4\pi r^2$

$\bold{\#4\ Cone:}\\\\V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h\\\\\text{we need calculate the length of a slant length}\ l\\\text{use the Pythagorean theorem:}\\\\l^2=r^2+h^2\to l=\sqrt{r^2+h^2}\\\\SA=\pi r^2+\pi rl=\pi r^2+\pi r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}=\pi r(r+\sqrt{r^2+h^2})\\\\\bold{\#5\ Rectangular\ Pyramid:}\\\\V=\dfrac{1}{3}lwh\\\\$

$\\\text{we need to calculate the height of two different side walls}\ h_1\ \text{and}\ h_2\\\text{use the Pythagorean theorem:}\\\\h_1^2=\left(\dfrac{l}{2}\right)^2+h^2\to h_1=\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{l}{2}\right)^2+h^2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{l^2}{4}+h^2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{l^2}{4}+\dfrac{4h^2}{4}}\\\\h_1=\sqrt{\dfrac{l^2+4h^2}{4}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{l^2+4h^2}}{\sqrt4}=\dfrac{\sqrt{l^2+4h^2}}{2}$

$\\\\h_2^2=\left(\dfrac{w}{2}\right)^2+h^2\to h_2=\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{w}{2}\right)^2+h^2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{w^2}{4}+h^2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{w^2}{4}+\dfrac{4h^2}{4}}\\\\h_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{w^2+4h^2}{4}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{w^2+4h^2}}{\sqrt4}=\dfrac{\sqrt{w^2+4h^2}}{2}$

$SA=lw+2\cdot\dfrac{lh_1}{2}+2\cdot\dfrac{wh_2}{2}\\\\SA=lw+2\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot\dfrac{l\cdot\frac{\sqrt{l^2+4h^2}}{2}}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup}+2\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot\dfrac{w\cdot\frac{\sqrt{w^2+4h^2}}{2}}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup}\\\\SA=lw+\dfrac{l\sqrt{l^2+4h^2}}{2}+\dfrac{w\sqrt{w^2+4h^2}}{2}\\\\SA=\dfrac{2lw}{2}+\dfrac{l\sqrt{l^2+4h^2}}{2}+\dfrac{w\sqrt{w^2+4h^2}}{2}\\\\SA=\dfrac{2lw+l\sqrt{l^2+4h^2}+w\sqrt{w^2+4h^2}}{2}$

Plot and connect the points A(1, -5), B(-4, -3), C(3, -3), and find the area of the triangle it forms.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

So attached is the plotting of the triangle and I estimated it's area to be 7 squared units (OPTION C).

Note: in the graph i used colour codes to represent those partial squares that I used to counted as one and the gray squares are the naturally whole ones.

Hope this helps
