the scores on a standardized test are normally distributed with μ=1000 and σ = 250. what score would be necessary to score at the 85th percentile?

Answers

Answer 1

we first need to understand what the term percentile means in the context of a standardized test. A percentile is a statistical measure that indicates the percentage of scores that fall below a particular score.

For example, if a student scores in the 85th percentile on a standardized test, it means that their score is higher than 85% of the scores of all the students who took the test.

Given that the scores on a standardized test are normally distributed with a mean (μ) of 1000 and a standard deviation (σ) of 250, we can use the normal distribution formula to find the score necessary to score at the 85th percentile.

The first step is to convert the percentile to a z-score using the z-score formula:

z = (x - μ) / σ

where x is the score we want to find, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

To find the z-score for the 85th percentile, we need to find the z-score that corresponds to the area of 0.85 under the standard normal distribution curve. We can look up this value in a standard normal distribution table or use a calculator to get z = 1.04.

Now we can use the z-score formula to solve for x:

1.04 = (x - 1000) / 250

Solving for x, we get:

x = 1.04 * 250 + 1000 = 1260

Therefore, a score of 1260 would be necessary to score at the 85th percentile on this standardized test.

It takes lucas 3 hours to cycle from his home to his friend's village. But if he travels 5 mph slower, it will take him 1.5 hours longer. How far is the friend from lucas' house

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes Lucas 3 hours to cycle from his home to his friend’s village:  

3 hours • (a certain speed) = distance in miles  

If he travels 5mph slower, it will take him 1.5 hours longer:

4.5 hours • (the same speed - 5mph) = the same distance in miles

 4.5 • (x - 5) = 3x

4.5x - 22.5 = 3x

1.5x = 22.5

x = 15mph  

3hours • 15mph = 45 miles

How to convert percent to fraction and decimal?

Percent counts the number compared to 100.

There is a fraction, containing numerator(upper value) and denominator(lower value).

So, if we have a%, that means for each 100, there are 'a' parts. If we divide each of them with 100, we get,

For each 1, there are a/100 parts.

Thus, 50% = 50/100 = 0.50 (in decimal)

There is a fraction, containing numerator(upper value) and denominator(lower value).

The mixed fraction contains a sum of whole number and a proper fraction.

X, Y and Z form the vertices of a triangle with area 59.7cm2. If XZ = 21.5cm and XY = 13.5cm, work out the acute angle ∠YXZ. Round to 1 DP.

Answers

Answer: The acute angle ∠YXZ = 24.3°.

Step-by-step explanation:

If in triangle ABC, C is the angle included between sides a and b then

Area of triangle = [tex]\dfrac12a\cdot b\cdot sin C[/tex]

here, XZ = 21.5cm and XY = 13.5cm are sides that includes acute angle ∠YXZ..

Area of a triangle = 59.7cm²

then, as per given, we have

[tex]59.7=\dfrac12(21.5)(13.5)\ \sin X\\\\\Rightarrow\ 59.7=145.125\ \sin X\\\\\Rightarrow\ \sin X = \dfrac{59.7}{145.125}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \sin X =0.41137\\\\\Rightarrow\ X = \sin ^{-1}(0.41137)\approx24.3^{\circ}[/tex]

Hence, the acute angle ∠YXZ = 24.3°.

2x < 38

In AOPQ, o = 700 cm, p = 840 cm and q=620 cm. Find the measure of _P to the

Given:

In triangle OPQ, o = 700 cm, p = 840 cm and q=620 cm.

To find:

The measure of angle P.

Solution:

According to the Law of Cosines:

[tex]\cos A=\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}[/tex]

Using Law of Cosines in triangle OPQ, we get

[tex]\cos P=\dfrac{o^2+q^2-p^2}{2oq}[/tex]

[tex]\cos P=\dfrac{(700)^2+(620)^2-(840)^2}{2(700)(620)}[/tex]

[tex]\cos P=\dfrac{490000+384400-705600}{868000}[/tex]

[tex]\cos P=\dfrac{168800}{868000}[/tex]

On further simplification, we get

[tex]\cos P=0.19447[/tex]

[tex]P=\cos^{-1}(0.19447)[/tex]

[tex]P=78.786236[/tex]

[tex]P\approx 79[/tex]

Therefore, the measure of angle P is 79 degrees.

Standard Form and Scientific Notation

What is standard form of numbers?

Standard form is the normal way of writing numbers no matter how big or small the number is.

Examples:

15,000,000

0.0000000678

What is scientific notation?

Scientific notation is a different way of expressing numbers. It is a short way of expressing very big numbers or very small numbers. It is also known as exponential form. Scientific notation is written as the product of a number and a power of 10.

Examples:

1.3 × 10⁶

34.5 × 10^⁻9

Going back to the question above, we need to convert the given scientific notation to its standard form.

Converting of Scientific Notation to Standard Form

To convert a number from scientific notation to standard form, move the decimal point.

The exponent tells the direction and the number of times we need to move the decimal point.

The positive exponent indicates a large number so we need to move the decimal point to the right.

The negative exponent indicates a small number so we need to move the decimal point to the left.

Do not write the power of 10 anymore.

Solution:

Now, let us convert 3.643 x 10^-1 in standard form.

The exponent is negative 1 so we will move the decimal point to the left once.

3.643 = 0.3643
