e, he calculates that he needs to buy about 25.12 feet of fencing. The fencing is sold by the foot, so he plans to buy 26 feet of fencing.

Answer:

Scott is wrong because he did not add the diameter that connects the arc

the fence is 41.12 feet. He would buy 42 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a semicircle = πr + d

π = pi = 3.14

d = diameter = 16

r = radius = 16/2 = 8

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

( 3.14 x 8) + 16 = 41.12 feet

scores on the act college entrance exam follow a bell-shaped distribution with mean 18 and standard deviation 6. Wayne's standar
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

His actual score is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating Wayne’s actual score on the ACT

when we say the scores have being standardized, it means the score was reported in terms of the z-score and not the initial raw scores.

Now, mathematically, for the scores to have a negative z-score, it means it is actually below the mean.

The formula for the z-score or standard score is given below;

z-score = (x - mean)/SD

where in this case, x = ? which is the score we are looking for , z-score = -0.5 , mean score = 18 and standard deviation of the scores = 6

So, substituting these values into the z-score equation, we have;

-0.5 = (x-18)/6

x-18 = 6(-0.5)

x -18 = -3

x = -3 + 18

x = 15
