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.

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

P(n) models the price (in dollars) of a pack of n bulbs at a certain store.
ycow [4]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

P(n) models the price (in dollars) of a pack of n bulbs at a certain store.

When does the price of a pack increase faster ?

n             4             10            12

P(n)        12            25           28

When does the price of a pack increase faster ?

A. Between 4 and 10 bulbs

B. Between 10 and 12 bulbs

C. The price increases at the same rat over both the intervals.

To solve this question we will find the rate of increase in the prices per pack in the given intervals.

From n = 4 to n = 10

Rate of increase in price = \frac{25-12}{10-4}

                                         = \frac{13}{6}

                                         = 2.166 ≈ $2.17 per pack

From n = 10 to n = 12

Rate of increase in price = \frac{28-25}{12-10}

                                         = \frac{3}{2}

                                         = $1.5 per pack

Therefore, price per pack increases faster between n = 4 and n = 10 as compared to n = 10 to n = 12.

Option A is the answer.

If ru is an altitude of rst find rs
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is Option D. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure we get,

<RUS = 90° because RU ⊥ TS

<u>To find the value of x</u>

It is given that <RUS = 4x + 54

Therefore we can write,

4x + 54 = 90

4x = 90 - 54 = 36

x = 36/4 = 9

<u>To find RS</u>

It is given that,

RS = 3x - 7 = 3*9 -7 = 20

Therefore the correct option is Option D . 20

A bicycle has a listed price of $660.95 before tax. If the sales tax rate is 7.25%, find the total cost of the bicycle with sale
skelet666 [1.2K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $708.87

Step-by-step explanation:

The price with tax included is ...

  660.95 + 0.0725×660.95 = 660.95(1 +0.0725) = 708.87

The total cost of the bicycle with tax is $708.87.
