9 - (a - 7)

Note that - = -1

First, distribute - 1 to all terms within the parenthesis

-1(a - 7) = -a + 7

9 - a + 7

Combine like terms

9 + 7 = 16

-a + 16, or A. 16 - a is your answer

hope this helps

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The percentle for Abby's score was the 89.62nd percentile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation(which is the square root of the variance) $\sigma$ , 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.

Abby's mom score:

93rd percentile in the math SAT exam. In 1982 the mean score was 503 and the variance of the scores was 9604.

93rd percentile. X when Z has a pvalue of 0.93. So X when Z = 1.476.

$\mu = 503, \sigma = \sqrt{9604} = 98$
