Answer:

1.32% of students have the chance to attend the charter school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be 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.

This year the mean on the entrance exam was an 82 with a standard deviation of 4.5.

This means that \mu = 82, \sigma = 4.5

a.What is the percentage of students who have the chance to attend the charter school?

Students who achieve a score of 92 or greater are admitted, which means that the proportion is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 92. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{92 - 82}{4.5}

Z = 2.22

Z = 2.22 has a pvalue of 0.9868

1 - 0.9868 = 0.0132

0.0132*100% = 1.32%

1.32% of students have the chance to attend the charter school.

Answer:

The surface area of the prism is 276 in.²

If you are also looking for the volume of the prism, it is 280.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's hard to find the surface area and the volume of the prism if you're just looking at the net of the 3D shape. There are some unnecessary measurements that will definitely throw you off. I drew a sample prism so it's easier to solve. Check the linked image.

The formula in finding the surface area of a prism is SA = 2(wl + hl + hw), where w is for width, l is for length, and h is for height. The point of all of these calculations is to find the area of 3 different faces of the prism and then you add up all of the areas and multiply the sum by 2 to give you the surface area. Looks a lot but it's worth getting the answer right.

The formula in finding the volume of the prism is V = w * h * l, where w is for width, h is for height, and l is for length. Simple multiplication of 3 different sides and you'll get the volume. I hope this helps and if I am wrong please let me know! :D
