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:

A. 1/5k - 2/3j and -2/3j +1/5k

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 1/5k - 2/3j and -2/3j +1/5k

B. 1/5k - 2/3j and -1/5k +2/3j

There is a change in the signs of each term

1/5k changed to -1/5k

-2/3j changed to +2/3j

Not equivalent

C. 1/5k - 2/3j and 1/5j - 2/3k

There is a change in the variables

1/5k changed to 1/5j

-2/3j changed to -2/3k

D. 1/5k - 2/3j and 2/3j - 1/5k

The is a change in the signs of each term

1/5k changed to -1/5k

-2/3j changed to +2/3j

The only equivalent expression is

A. 1/5k - 2/3j and -2/3j +1/5k

Work out the value of a and b in the identity.<br> 3ax + 6 - 4(x + b)= 11x + 14
Levart [38]

Answer:

a=5, b=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you simplify the equation, you get:

3ax +6 -4x -4b - 11x - 14 = 0 =>

3ax - 15x -4b -8 = 0

group together x's and constants:

(3a-15)x -8 -4b = 0

To make this 0 for all x, we have to find an a such that 3a-15 = 0 and b such that -8-4b = 0. this leads to a=5, b=-2
