Simple proportions.

You want a 1:5 ratio.
You have a 5:1 ratio.
So you add another 24 drops of white.
5:25 = 1:5
or
5/x = 1/5 and cross multiply.

What is the correct order of the following numbers from least to greater?<br> 2/3, -0.6, 0.65, 4/5

ExtremeBDS [4]

We can either convert them to decimals or to fractions
if decimals
2/3=0.66666666
4/5=8/10=0.8
so the order is
-0.6, 0.65, 0.66, 0.8 or
-0.6, 0.65, 2/3, 4/5

if conver to fractions then
since -0.6 is negative, it is smallest, no need to convert
0.65=65 hundreths=65/100
2/3=66/99=prety close
4/5=8/10=80/100
order is
-0.6, 65/100, 66/99, 80/100 or
-0.6, 0.65, 2/3, 0.8

Scores on a college entrance exam are normally distributed with a mean of 550 and a standard deviation of 100. Find the value th

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The value that represents the 90th percentile of scores is 678.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using 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 problem, we have that:

$\mu = 550, \sigma = 100$
