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.

ryzh [129]
<span>If the nemesis has "7/8 of her cats plus 2" it can be written like this: 7/8 x + 2 = x, where x is the number of the cats. After that we can solve the equation. x - 7/8 x = 2; 1/8 x = 2; x = 2 : 1/8 = 2 * 8 = 16. Answer: The nemesis has 16 cats.</span>

Lesechka [4]

If a+b= 2+11 then your sum will be 13.

heres an example...

If you have eleven dollars and I give you 2 more you can simply count up 2 more from 11 leaving you at 13.
