Two students in different classes took the same math test. Both students received a
score of 87. In student A's class the mean was 78 and the standard deviation of 5. In
student B's class the mean was 76 with a standard deviation of 4. Which student
scored in the top 10% of their class?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Both students scored in the top 10% of their classes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

Top 10% = Above the 100 - 10 = 90th percentile.

The 90th percentile of scores is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.9, that is, Z = 1.28.

So, the student who had a z-score above 1.28 scored in the 90th percentile of their class.

In student A's class the mean was 78 and the standard deviation of 5. He scored 87.

We have that [tex]\mu = 78, \sigma = 5, X = 87[/tex]

Then

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{87 - 78}{5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.8[/tex]

1.8 > 1.28, so student A scored in the top 10% of his/her class.

Student B's class the mean was 76 with a standard deviation of 4. Scored 87.

We have that [tex]\mu = 76, \sigma = 4, X = 87[/tex]

Then

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{87 - 76}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.75[/tex]

2.75 > 1.28, so student B also scored in the top 10% of his/her class.

Both students scored in the top 10% of their classes.

a stone is thrown downward with an intitial velocity of 29.5 m/sec will travel a distance of a meters, where s(t) = 4.9t^2 + 29.4 and t is in seconds. if a stone is thrown downward at 29.4m/sec from a height of 132.3 m, how long will it take the stone to hit the ground?

Answers

Answer:

t = 9 s

Step-by-step explanation:

A stone is thrown downward with an intitial velocity of 29.5 m/sec will travel a distance of a meters, where

[tex]s(t) = -4.9t^2 + 29.4+132.3[/tex]

We need to find when the stone will hit the ground. It means when s(t) = 0. So,

[tex]-4.9t^2 + 29.4t+132.3=0\\\\t=-3\ and\ t=9[/tex]

So, the stone will take 9 seconds to hit the ground. Hence, this is the required solution.

find the value of k if the roots
of 3x²-5x+k=0, differ by 2​

Answers

By the fundamental theorem of algebra, we can write the given quadratic in terms of its roots a and b as

3x ² - 5x + k = 3 (x - a) (x - b)

and upon expanding, we have

3x ² - 5x + k = 3x ² - (a + b) x + ab

Two polynomials are equivalent if their coefficients are equal, so

a + b = 5

ab = k

We're given that |a - b| = 2. If we assume a > b (that is, a is the larger root) then |a - b| = a - b = 2, or b = a - 2. Substitute this for b in the first equation above and solve for a :

a + (a - 2) = 5

2a - 2 = 5

2a = 7

a = 7/2

Solve for b :

b = 7/2 - 2

b = 3/2

Solve for k :

k = 7/2 × 3/2 = 21/4

The ratio of red cars to blue cars in a parking lot was 5 : 3. If there were 40 red cars, how many blue cars were there?

Answers

Answer:

24 blue cars

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, one is given the ratio of red to blue cars in the parking lot. One is given the actual number of red cars, and one is asked to find the number of blue cars. One can set up a proportion; ratio to actual, then solve to find the number of actual blue cars using the method of cross-products. One can set up the proportion using the ratios, but it is easier to express the proportion as the equality of two fractions. Thus, the following equation can be formed, let the parameter (x) represent the actual amount of blue cars;

[tex]\frac{red}{blue}= \frac{5}{3} = \frac{40}{x}[/tex]

Cross products,

[tex]5x = 120[/tex]

Inverse operations,

[tex]x = 24[/tex]

The average daily maximum temperature for Shane’s hometown can be modeled by the function f(x)=12.2cos(πx6)+54.9, where f(x) is the temperature in °F and x is the month.

x = 0 corresponds to January.

What is the average daily maximum temperature in March?

Round to the nearest tenth of a degree if needed.

Answers

Answer:

The average daily maximum temperature in March is of 61 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average daily maximum temperature in his hometown in x months after January is given by:

[tex]f(x) = 12.2\cos{(\frac{\pi x}{6})} + 54.9[/tex]

What is the average daily maximum temperature in March?

March is 3 - 1 = 2 months after January, so this is f(2).

[tex]f(2) = 12.2\cos{(\frac{\pi*2}{6})} + 54.9 = 61[/tex]

The average daily maximum temperature in March is of 61 degrees.
