Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The formula of slope is "rise over run", where the "rise" (means change in y, up or down) and the "run" (means change in x, left or right)
In this problem
The tangent of angle of 5 degrees is equal to the quotient of "rise over run"
Let
y ----> the rise of the ramp
x ----> the run of the ramp
we have
substitute and solve for x
Answer:
The passing score is 645.2
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:
If the board wants to set the passing score so that only the best 10% of all applicants pass, what is the passing score?
This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 1-0.1 = 0.9. So it is X when Z = 1.28.
The passing score is 645.2
