Answer: Answer:

2 4/16 = 2 1/4 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

The pointer is 4 of the smallest units above 2. There are 16 of those small units. Each 2 of those units is 1/8 pound, so when the pointer is on a multiple of 2 units, it is on a multiple of 1/8 pound. No guesswork is required to choose the correct weight to the nearest 1/8 pound.

2 4/16 = 2 1/4 lb . . . . the scale reading to the nearest 1/8 pound.

An aptitude test has a mean score of 80 and a standard deviation of 5. The population of scores is normally distributed. What ra

sdas [7]

Answer:

82.62

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean score (μ) = 80

Standard deviation (σ) = 5

The 70th percentile of a normal distribution has an equivalent z-score of roughly 0.525.

For any given score, X, the z-score can be determined by:

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

For z = 0.525:

$0.525=\frac{X-80}{5}\\ X=82.62$

A raw score of approximately 82.62 corresponds to the 70th percentile.
