Many states assess the skills of their students in various grades. One of the tests provided by a national association assesses

the reading skills of 12th-grade students. In a recent year, the national mean score was 286 and the standard deviation was 38. Assuming that these scores are approximately Normally distributed, N(286, 38), use the 68-95-99.7 rule to give a range of scores that includes 95% of these students.

Answer:

95% of these scores are between 210 and 362.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 286, Standard deviation = 38

Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to give a range of scores that includes 95% of these students.

This is within 2 standard deviations of the mean. So

286 - 2*38 = 286 - 76 = 210

286 + 2*38 = 286 + 76 = 362

95% of these scores are between 210 and 362.

The distance between two locations, A and B, is calculated using a third location C at a distance of 15 miles from location B. I
Jobisdone [24]
We will first calculate ∠A:
∠∠A = 180° - ( 105° + 20 ° ) = 180° - 125° = 55°
Then we will use the Sine Law:
15 / sin 55° = AB / sin 20°
15 / 0.81915 = AB / 0.342
AB · 0.81915 = 15 · 0.342
AB · 0.81915 = 5.13
AB = 5.13 : 0.81915
AB = 6.26 ≈ 6.3 miles
Answer: The distance between the locations A and B is 6.3 miles.

Find a vector function, r(t), that represents the curve of intersection of the two surfaces. the paraboloid z = 9x2 y2 and the p
dolphi86 [110]

The vector function is, r(t) =  \bold{ < t,2t^2,9t^2+4t^4 > }

Given two surfaces for which the vector function corresponding to the intersection of the two need to be found.

First surface is the paraboloid, z=9x^2+y^2

Second equation is of the parabolic cylinder, y=2x^2

Now to find the intersection of these surfaces, we change these equations into its parametrical representations.

Let x = t

Then, from the equation of parabolic cylinder,  y=2t^2.

Now substituting x and y into the equation of the paraboloid, we get,

z=9t^2+(2t^2)^2 = 9t^2+4t^4

Now the vector function, r(t) = <x, y, z>

So r(t) = \bold{ < t,2t^2,9t^2+4t^4 > }

I need to know the distance between points x and y
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between two points P(x1,y1) and Q(x2,y2) is given by: d(P, Q) = √ (x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2 {Distance formula} 2. Distance of a point P(x, y) from the origin is given by d(0,P) = √ x2 + y2.
