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

A rocket is launched into the air. The height h(t), in yards, of the rocket is a function of time, t, in seconds, as shown in th
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change is the same thing as the slope.  Because this is parabolic, we cannot find the exact rate of change as we could if this were a linear function.  But we can use the same idea.  When t = 3, h(t) = 33, so the coordinate point is (3, 33).  When t = 6, h(t) = 0, so the coordinate is (6, 0).  Plug those values into the slope formula:

m=\frac{0-33}{6-3} and

m=\frac{-33}{3} which is -11

From 3 to 6 seconds, the rocket is falling 11 yards per second.
