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.

The height of the plant is given by the equation h = 0.5d + 4. Rewrite this as a function rule where f(x) is the height, in centimeters, and x is the time, in days. Use the rule to complete the table, and then use the drawing tools to create the graph representing this relationship.

What property does the statement show? (4x8)x3=(8x4)x3
8090 [49]
Why not? Because every math system you've ever worked with has obeyed these properties! You have never dealt with a system where a×b did not in fact equal b×a, for instance, or where (a×b)×c did not equal a×(b×c). Which is why the properties probably seem somewhat pointless to you. Don't worry about their "relevance" for now; just make sure you can keep the properties straight so you can pass the next test. The lesson below explains how I kept track of the properties.
