A study was conducted on students from a particular high school over the last 8 years. The following information was found regar

ding standardized tests used for college admitance. Scores on the SAT test are normally distributed with a mean of 1051 and a standard deviation of 194. Scores on the ACT test are normally distributed with a mean of 19 and a standard deviation of 4.7. It is assumed that the two tests measure the same aptitude, but use different scales.
Required:
a. If a student gets an SAT score that is the 62-percentile, find the actual SAT score.
b. What would be the equivalent ACT score for this student?
c. If a student gets an SAT score of 1563, find the equivalent ACT score.

Answer:

The answer is "1110, 20.4, and 31.408"

Step-by-step explanation:

For point a:

Given:

\to mean\ ( \bar{x})=1051\\\\\to standard \ deviation \ (\sigma)=194\\\\\to P(Z

Calculating the SAT score:

=1051+0.3055 \times 194 \\\\ =1110.267 \approx 1110

For point b:  

Given:

\to mean \ \bar{x}=19\\\\ \to standard \ deviation \ (\sigma) =4.7\\\\

Calculating the equivalent ACT score:

=19+0.3055 \times 4.7 \\\\ =20.43585 \approx  20.4  

For point c:

\to SAT \ Score =1563\\\\\to z=\frac{(1563-1051)}{194}= \frac{512}{194}=2.64\\\\

Calculating equivalent ACT score:

=19+2.64 \times 4.7 \\\\=31.408

Ind the equation of the tangent line to 9x^2+16y^2=52 through (2, -1)
EastWind [94]
Here are the steps.

In order to get the answer, first we need to get the x and y value of the center of the circle by using the equation of a circle (x^2 + y^2 = r^2)

<span>The center is (-9, -4)</span>

Once you get the center point, find the equation of the line (in a form of a radius) from the center point to point (2, -1). Get the slope.

The slope from center to point (2, -1) is 11/3

Finally, get the negative reciprocal of the slope from the previous step and form the equation using slope-intercept form ( y=mx + b). Then, that's the equation of the tangent line.

The slope of the tangent line is -3/11
The equation is y = -3/11x - 5/11

Please help me out with this
adoni [48]
The numbers in the chart are -7.1, -3.4, -1.2, 2.1, and 3.4. So, from greatest to least the numbers will be:

3.4, 2.1, -1.2, -3.4, and then -7.1.

With absolute value, the numbers from greatest to least are: 

|7.1|, |3.4|, 3.4, 2.1, |1.2|.

However, this is assuming that Friday is 3.4, which was given information on the last question. Hope this helps!

A stamp has the Length of 1/2 cm and a width of 1 1/2 is the area of the stamps
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Area =  \frac{3}{4} cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length =\frac{1}{2}\ cm

Width = 1\frac{1}{2}\ cm

Required

Determine the Area

Area is calculated as follows

Area = Length * Width

Substitute values for Length and Width

Area = \frac{1}{2} * 1\frac{1}{2}

Convert mixed fraction

Area = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{3}{2}

Area =  \frac{3}{4}

Hence, the area is

Area =  \frac{3}{4} cm^2

Kinda need some help:)
Natali [406]
1.
f(x) = x
g(x) = x + 3

For each x value you use in f(x) and g(x), the corresponding y value in g(x) is always 3 more than in f(x). If each y-coordinate is 3 more, that means the graph is shifted 3 units up. The graph of f(x) is shifted 3 units up to create the graph of g(x).

2.
The first term is -0.5.
Then each term goes up by 0.25.

1st term: -0.5
2nd term: -0.5 + 0.25 = -0.5 + 0.25(1)
3rd term: -0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 = -0.5 + 0.25(2)
4th term: -0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = -0.5 + 0.25(3)
nth term: -0.5 + 0.25(n - 1)

-0.5 + 0.25(n - 1) = -0.5 + 0.25n - 0.25 = -0.75 + 0.25n = 0.25n - 0.75

Answer is C.
