Answer:
The minimum score required for admission is 21.9.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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:

A university plans to admit students whose scores are in the top 40%. What is the minimum score required for admission?
Top 40%, so at least 100-40 = 60th percentile. The 60th percentile is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.6. So it is X when Z = 0.255. So




The minimum score required for admission is 21.9.
Since, each side of the fence should have the 1 3/4 feet wide decorative piece, the width of the fence should be subtracted by 2 pieces (1 3/4 feet)
= 26.5 feet
Then, divide the remaining width by 4.5 feet and the answer is 5.88. Thus, approximately 5 pieces of the 4 1/2 feet should be installed.
40/3 days, (13.33 days)
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up the equation, 15/20 = 10/x, and then use cross mutiply to solve it.
10 * 20 = 15x, x = 200/15 = 40/3
Why?
b/c if each pig eats the same amount of food, then the ratio between the number of pigs and days should remain constant.
Answer:
not sure if you're looking for an example of this or not but if you are then it could be something like 12 + 8 because 2/3 of 12 is 8.
Answer:
135 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
all the angles in a triangle need to add to 180 degrees, so you take
180-(65+70)= 45
Then you just find the supplementary angle
45+x=180
x=135
