Scores on the Mathematics section of the SAT Reasoning Test form a normal distribution with a mean of μ = 500 and a standard deviation of 100. What is the minimum score necessary to be in the top 10% of the distribution?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The minimum score necessary to be in the top 10% of the distribution is 628.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a normal distribution has a mean of μ = 500 and a standard deviation = σ= 100

The Significance level  for this test = 10 % = 0.1

For one tailed test ∝= 0.1 the value of Z∝= ±1.28

Since it a normal distribution the test statistic used is

Z= X= u / σ/√n   ( taking n= 1)

1.28 = X- 500/100/√1

128 + 500 = X

or X = 628

The minimum score necessary to be in the top 10% of the distribution is 628.

Answer:

3(a). The ship travelled in north is 26.0 km.

(b). The ship travelled in east is 23.4 km.

4(a). The ship travelled in south is -88.61 km.

(b). The ship travelled in west is -179.29 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

(3). Distance = 35 km

Angle = 42°

Let distance in north is y km.

We need to calculate the distance

Using vertical component

[tex]y = d\cos\theta[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]y = 35\cos42[/tex]

[tex]y=26.0\ km[/tex]

Let distance in east is x  km

We need to calculate the distance

Using horizontal component

[tex]x =d\sin\theta[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]x = 35\sin42[/tex]

[tex]x=23.4\ km[/tex]

(4). A ship sails 200 km on a bearing of 243.7°

Let distance in south is y km.

We need to calculate the distance

Using vertical component

[tex]y = d\cos\theta[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]y = 200\cos243.7[/tex]

[tex]y=-88.61\ km[/tex]

Let distance in west is x  km

We need to calculate the distance

Using horizontal component

[tex]x =d\sin\theta[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]x = 200\sin243.7[/tex]

[tex]x=-179.29\ km[/tex]

Hence, 3(a). The ship travelled in north is 26.0 km.

(b). The ship travelled in east is 23.4 km.

4(a). The ship travelled in south is -88.61 km.

(b). The ship travelled in west is -179.29 km.

please help

Answers

Answer: 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of x = -3 is infinite / undefined (there is infinite/no defined change in y for a given change in x). Remember, line x = -3 slopes straight up.

Perpendicular means at a 'right angle to'.

The only kind of line that is perpendicular to a vertical line is a horizontal line, which is like y = 15 or y = 5 or something. The slope of such lines is always zero, because there is no change in line's rise for a given run.

Answer: The slope perpendicular to the line is = 0

Explanation:

the line x= -3 is a special case of the equation of a straight line.

It is a vertical line, and since it parallel to the y-axis, it’s slope is undefined

A line perpendicular to it must be a horizontal line parallel to the x-axis

Parallel to the x-axis means the slope = 0

Find the sum of a 22-term arithmetic sequence, where the first term is 7 and the last term is 240.

Answers

Answer:

The sum of the arithmetic series is 2717.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle S = \frac{k}{2}\left( a + x_k\right)[/tex]

Where k is the number of terms, a is the initial term, and x_k is the last term.

There are 22 terms, the first term is 7, and the last term is 240. Hence, the sum is:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} S &= \frac{(22)}{2}\left((7) + (240)} \\ \\ &= 11(247) \\ \\ &= 2717\end{aligned}[/tex]

In conclusion, the sum of the arithmetic series is 2717.

A video rental company offers a plan that includes a membership fee of $7 and charges $1 for every DVD borrowed. They also offer a second plan, that costs $29 per month for unlimited DVD rentals. If a customer borrows enough DVDs in a month, the two plans cost the same amount. How many DVDs is that? What is that total cost of either plan? If a customer rents ___ DVDs, each option costs $___.

Answers

Answers:

If a customer rents 22 DVDs, each option costs $29

This only applies to one month.

=================================================

Work Shown:

x = number of DVDs borrowed

y = total cost

Plan A has a cost of x+7 dollars since x represents the cost of renting the x DVDs plus the membership fee of $7. We can say y = x+7.

Plan B has a fixed cost of $29 per month, so y = 29. There is no x here to worry about as the cost is the same no matter how many DVDs you rent.

y = x+7 and y = 29 are dealing with the same y value. We can use substitution to solve for x

----------------

y = 29 ... start with second equation

x+7 = 29 .... replace y with x+7 (valid because y = x+7)

x+7-7 = 29-7 ... subtract 7 from both sides

x = 22

If the customer rents 22 DVDs, then plan A will charge y = x+7 = 22+7 = 29 dollars, which is the same as the flat rate cost plan B charges.

If the customer rents more than 22 DVDs per month, then its smarter to go with plan B (since plan A's cost will be larger). Otherwise, go for plan A.

----------------

In terms of a graph, you can graph both y = x+7 and y = 29 together on the same xy axis. The line y = x+7 goes through (0,7) and (1,8). The line y = 29 goes through (0,29) and (1,29). Both lines intersect at (22,29) to indicate that x = 22 and y = 29 pair up together.

Ahmad trained his Monday clients for a total of 3 hours and his Tuesday clients for a total of 7 hours. How long does each of the workout plans last? please help

Answers

Answer:

Plan A last for 30 minutes

Plan B last for 45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two plans:

Plan A

Plan B

Monday

Plan A=3 clients

Plan B=2 clients

Total hours=3

Tuesday

Plan A=5 clients

Plan B=6 clients

Total hours=7

The equation for the unknown

3A + 2B=3 (1)

5A + 6B=7 (2)

Multiply (1) by 3 and (2) by (1)

9A + 6B=9 (3)

5A + 6B=7 (4)

Subtract (4) from (3)

4A=2

Divide both sides by 4

4A/4 = 2/4

A=1/2 hours

Substitute A=1/2 into (1)

3A + 2B=3

3(1/2) +2B=3

3/2 + 2B=3

2B= 3 - 3/2

2B= 6-3/2

2B=3/2

Divide both sides by 2

B=3/2÷2

=3/2×1/2

B=3/4 hours

A=1/2 hours

B=3/4 hours

60 minutes=1 hour

A=1/2 hours

1/2 × 60 minutes

=60/2

=30 minutes

B=3/4 hours

=3/4×60 minutes

=180/4

=45 minutes

Plan A last for 30 minutes

Plan B last for 45 minutes

(b) Work out the probability Jennifer hits the Bullseye at least once.


Can someone work this out for me ?

Answers

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Filling out the tree diagram,

On the first throw, there is a 4/4 = 100%* chance Jennifer hits or misses. Therefore, the chance she misses is equal to the difference between

(chance she hits or misses) - (chance she hits) = 4/4 - 1/4 = 3/4

For the second throw, the chance she hits is independent of whether she hits or misses on the first throw. This means that it does not matter whether she hits or misses on the first throw; her chance to hit the second throw will always be 1/3. Therefore, 1/3 can go into the hit category on each hit line on the second throw, and in the miss category, we can put

100% - 1/3 = 1 - 1/3 = 3/3 - 1/3 = 2/3

For Jennifer to hit the bullseye at least once, she must either:

- Hit and then hit

- Hit and then miss

- Miss and then hit

From this, we can determine that if Jennifer hits the first bullseye, she will have hit it at least once, no matter what. Therefore, Jennifer must either:

- Hit the first one

- Miss and then hit

In probability, OR /either means that we add the probabilties. The probability that she hits the first one is 1/4, and the probability that she misses and then hits is

(probability she misses the 1st one) * (probability she hits the second one). We know to multiply here because both scenarios must happen, and for AND probabilities, we multiply. We thus have

(3/4) * (1/3) = 3/12 = 1/4 as the probabilty that she misses then hits, and 1/4 as the probability that she hits the first one. We add these up to get 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 as our probability that she hits the bullseye at least once

* we know 4/4 = 100% because 100% = 1, and anything divided by itself is equal to 1.

How much would Carson have to pay in a month where he used 3 GB over the limit? How much would Carson have to pay in a month where he used went over by x GB?

Answers

Answer:

3 GB over: $80 x GB over: $35+$15x

Step-by-step explanation:

First, 3 GB over is 3 times 15 plus 35, which equals 80. x GB over is x times 15 plus 35, hence the answer. Hope this helps!

For using 3GB of data more, she'll be charged $80.

a. Amount charged per month = $35

Amount charged for over-usage = $15 per gb.

Therefore, when she uses 3gb more, the amount charged will be:

= $35 + ($15 × 3)

= $35 + $45.

= $80

When she uses x gb more, the amount that she'll be charged will be:

= $35 + ($15 × x)

= $35 + 15x

= 35 + 15x
