Answer:

Diana's score is better.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Diana case :

Score = 92

Mean score , μ = 71

Standard deviation σ = 15

So,

P( x ≥ 92 ) = 1 - P( x ≤ 92 )

                = 1 - P(z ≤ \frac{x - u}{\sigma} )

                = 1 - P( z ≤ \frac{92 - 71 }{15} )

                = 1 - P( z ≤ 1.4 )

                = 1 - 0.9192

                = 0.0808 = 8.08 %

⇒P( x ≥ 92 ) = 8.08%

∴ we get

Diana score is > 91.92% other students in the class.

In Micheal case :

Score = 688

Mean score , μ = 493

Standard deviation σ = 150

So,

P( x ≥ 688 ) = 1 - P( x ≤ 688 )

                = 1 - P(z ≤ \frac{x - u}{\sigma} )

                = 1 - P( z ≤ \frac{688 - 493 }{150} )

                = 1 - P( z ≤ 1.3 )

                = 1 - 0.9032

                = 0.0968 = 9.68 %

⇒P( x ≥ 688 ) = 9.68%

∴ we get

Micheal score is > 90.32% other students in the class.

From both scores , we can conclude that

Diana's score is better.

RSM wants to send four of its 18 Math Challenge teachers to a conference. How many combinations of four teachers include exactly
tatiyna

Answer:

1120 combinations of four teachers include exactly one of either Mrs. Vera or Mr. Jan.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the teachers are chosen is not important, which means that the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this question:

1 from a set of 2(Either Mrs. Vera or Mr. Jan).

3 from a set of 18 - 2 = 16. So

C_{2,1}C_{16,3} = \frac{2!}{1!1!} \times \frac{16!}{3!13!} = 1120

1120 combinations of four teachers include exactly one of either Mrs. Vera or Mr. Jan.
