Raw scores on behavioral tests are often transformed for easier comparison. A test of reading ability has mean 67 and standard d

eviation 10 when given to third graders. Sixth graders have mean score 86 and standard deviation 9 on the same test. To provide separate "norms" for each grade, we want scores in each grade to have mean 100 and standard deviation 20. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
(a) What linear transformation will change third-grade scores x into new scores xnew = a + bx that have the desired mean and standard deviation? (Use b > 0 to preserve the order of the scores.) a = b = (b)
Do the same for the sixth-grade scores.
a =
b =
(c) David is a third-grade student who scores 79 on the test. Find David's transformed score.
Nancy is a sixth-grade student who scores 79. What is her transformed score?
Who scores higher within his or her grade? Nancy or David

Answer:

a.) a = -34 and b = 2

b.) a = -91.11 b = 2.22

c.) David scored 124, nancy scored 84.27

David scored higher

Step-by-step explanation:

for those in the 3rd grade

mean u = 67

s = 10

we used the z formula

z=\frac{x-u}{s}

z=\frac{x-67}{10}

we have the new score

u = 100

s = 20

we use this formula z*s+u

[\frac{x-67}{10} ]20\\ + 100

multiply through by 20

[\frac{20x-1340}{10} ] +100

dividing the bracket by 10

= 2x-134+100

= 2x-34

from this solution above,

a = -34 and b = 2

b.)

we solve for those in the 6th grade

u = 86

s = 9

\frac{x-86}{9}

for new score,

y = 100

s = 20

[\frac{x-86}{9} ]20+100

2.22x-191.11+100\\= 2.22x - 91.11

from this solution

a = -91.11

b = 2.22

c.) if David scored 79

= 2(x)-34

= 2(79) - 34

= 158 - 34

= 124

if nancy scored 79

= 2.22(79) - 91.11

= 175.38 - 91.11

= 84.27

from these scores we can see that David scored higher in his grade

The weight of gemstones, such as diamonds, rubies, and emeralds, is measured in carats. A carat is a unit of measure equal to 20
Alexxx [7]
We are told in the question that 1 carat is equal to 200 mg.

The Hope Diamond is 44.5 carats. Let's multiply the weight of 1 carat by 44.5 to get the weight of the Hope Diamond in mg:

\frac{200mg}{1 carat}* \frac{44.5 carats}{1}=8,900 mg

The total weight of the Hope Diamond is 8,900 mg. However the question asks for the weight in grams. There are 1000 mg in 1 gram, so let's divide the known weight of the Hope Diamond in mg by 1000 to get the weight converted to grams:

\frac{8,900mg}{1000}=8.9grams

Now we know that the weight of the Hope Diamond is equal to 8.9 grams.

WILL AWARD BRAINIEST!! Question is in the attached image.
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Look down at explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

First off if it is true in inches you could use a ruler to measure the bottom it works if you are desperate a lot of the time. Also the bottom of the trapezoid is 6 meters. If you didn't know the perimeter you could split the trapezoid into a rectangle and a triangle. You just have to take off the irrelevant sides when you put it together. So you take the 2 meters from the top of the trapezoid and then the bottom of the triangle is 4, so just split up the trapezoid and find the perimeter of the triangle and rectangle.
