Answer:
The height is 20 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to know that the volume formula is V = πr²h and the base area of cylinder is a circle. So we can let πr² be 77 cm² . Then we have to substitute the following values into the formula :
Let πr² be 77,
Let v be 1540,
Answer:
a) The lowest test score that a student could get and still meet the colleges requirement is 27.0225.
b) 156 would be expected to have a test score that would meet the colleges requirement
c) The lowest score that would meet the colleges requirement would be decreased to 26.388.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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.
In this problem, we have that:
a. Find the lowest test score that a student could get and still meet the colleges requirement.
This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 1 - 0.12 = 0.88. So it is X when Z = 1.175.
The lowest test score that a student could get and still meet the colleges requirement is 27.0225.
b. If 1300 students are randomly selected, how many would be expected to have a test score that would meet the colleges requirement?
Top 12%, so 12% of them.
0.12*1300 = 156
156 would be expected to have a test score that would meet the colleges requirement
c. How does the answer to part (a) change if the college decided to accept the top 15% of all test scores?
It would decrease to the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 1-0.15 = 0.85. So X when Z = 1.04.
The lowest score that would meet the colleges requirement would be decreased to 26.388.
