A community college has a math placement exam that has a mean of 65 and a standard deviation of 8.2. If a student takes the exam

and scores in the lower 2.5%, they are eligible for a free intensive course to help them succeed in their math class. Assume that the exam has a normal distribution. What is the score that cuts off the bottom 2.5%

Answer:

The score that cuts off the bottom 2.5% is 48.93.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 65, \sigma = 8.2

What is the score that cuts off the bottom 2.5%

This is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.025, so X when Z = -1.96.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-1.96 = \frac{X - 65}{8.2}

X - 65 = -1.96*8.2

X = 48.93

The score that cuts off the bottom 2.5% is 48.93.

How do you graph:<br><br> y≤−4x+40 <br><br> and <br><br> y≤10
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

See attached picture.

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph linear inequalities, use the y=mx + b form to graph using the slope and y-intercept.

y ≤ -4x + 40 has slope -4 and y-intercept (0,40).

Start at (0,40) and mark it. Then move down 4 units and to the right 1. Mark this point at (1,36). Connect the points with a solid line since the inequality has equal to. Substitute a point like (0,0) to test where the solution set is.

0 ≤ -4(0) + 40

0 ≤ 0 + 40

0 ≤ 40

This is true so shade to the left of the line.

To graph y ≤ 10 mark a point on the y-axis at (0,10). Draw a horizontal solid line through the point. Then shade below the line.
