One year the ACT had a mean score of 21.2 and a standard deviation of 5.1. That same year, the SAT had a mean score of 1498 and a standard deviation of 347. Suppose that a scholarship committee is considering two students, one who scored 26 on the ACT and another who scored 1,800 on the SAT. Both are pretty good scores, but which one is better? Find the z-score for the ACT

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

ACT Score performed better.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

ACT :

Mean score, μ = 21.2

Standard deviation, σ = 5.1

Score, x = 26

SAT :

Mean score, μ = 1498

Standard deviation, σ = 347

Score, x = 1800

To know which score is better, we obtain the standardized, Z score of the two examination :

Zscore = (x - μ) / σ

ACT Zscore :

(26 - 21.2) / 5.1

Zscore = 4.8 / 5.1 = 0.941

ACT Zscore = 0.941

SAT Zscore :

(1800 - 1498) / 347

Zscore = 302 / 347 = 0.870

SAT Zscore = 0.870

The student with the higher Zscore performed better :

ACT Zscore > SAT Zscore

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the altitude of the right triangle. Thus, we would apply the geometric mean theorem to find the value of x. Thus, the formula is given as:

h = √(ab)

Where,

h = altitude = x

a = 144

b = 400 - 144 = 256

Plug in the given values into the formula

x = √(144*256)

x = √(36,864)

x = 192

Use implicit differentiation to solve that the derivative

Answers

Given

e ˣʸ = sec(x ²)

take the derivative of both sides:

d/dx [e ˣʸ] = d/dx [sec(x ²)]

Use the chain rule:

e ˣʸ d/dx [xy] = sec(x ²) tan(x ²) d/dx [x ²]

Use the product rule on the left, and the power rule on the right:

e ˣʸ (x dy/dx + y) = sec(x ²) tan(x ²) (2x)

Solve for dy/dx :

e ˣʸ (x dy/dx + y) = 2x sec(x ²) tan(x ²)

x dy/dx + y = 2x e ⁻ˣʸ sec(x ²) tan(x ²)

x dy/dx = 2x e ⁻ˣʸ sec(x ²) tan(x ²) - y

dy/dx = 2e ⁻ˣʸ sec(x ²) tan(x ²) - y/x

Since e ˣʸ = sec(x ²), we simplify further to get

dy/dx = 2 tan(x ²) - y/x

At the α = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.

There is insufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample size, n = 25

xbar = 9 ; Standard deviation, s = 2

α = 0.05 ;

The degree of freedom, df = n - 1 ; 25 - 1 = 24

The hypothesis (two tailed)

H0 : μ = 8.5

H1 : μ ≠ 8.5

The test statistic :

(xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))

(9 - 8.5) ÷ (2/√(25))

Test statistic = 1.250

Suppose that the value of a stock varies each day from $12.82 to $28.17 with a uniform distribution.
Find the third quartile; 75% of all days the stock is below what value? (Enter your answer to the nearest cent.)

Answers

Answer:  24.33

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

Explanation:

The range is

range = max - min

range = 28.17 - 12.82

range = 15.35

This is the width of this particular uniform distribution.

Apply 75% to this value

75% of 15.35 = 0.75*15.35 = 11.5125

Then finally, add that to the min

12.82 + 11.5125 = 24.3325 which rounds to 24.33

We can see that 75% of the values are below 24.33 which makes it the 3rd quartile (Q3).

The perimeter is the sum of the sides

P = a+b+c+d+e +f

4 of the sides add to 195  a+b+c+d = 195  Replace in the equation

P = 195 +e+f

We know that e and f are equal

P = 195+f+f

P = 195+2f

The perimeter is 275

275=195+2f

Subtract 195 from each side

275 -195 = 195+2f-195

Sam's monthly bills are normally distributed with mean 2700 and standard deviation 230.9. He receives two paychecks of $1500 each in a month, post taxes and withholdings. What is the probability that his expenses will exceed his income in the following month?Ð) 10%. B) 16%.C) 21%.D) 29%.E) 37%.

Answers

Answer:

A) 10%

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.

Sam's monthly bills are normally distributed with mean 2700 and standard deviation 230.9.

This means that [tex]\mu = 2700, \sigma = 230.9[/tex]

What is the probability that his expenses will exceed his income in the following month?

Expenses above 2*1500 = $3000, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 3000.

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

[tex]Z = \frac{3000 - 2700}{230.9}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.3[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.3[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9032.

1 - 0.9032 = 0.0968 that is, close to 10%, and thus the correct answer is given by option A.

A car travels 60 kilometers in one hour before a piston breaks, then travels at 30 kilometers per hour for the remaining 60 kilometers to its destination. What is its average speed in kilometers per hour for the entire trip?

Answers

Answer:

Total Distance : 1*60 +60=120

Total time taken = 1+ 60/30= 1+2=3

Hence average speed for the trip = 120/3= 40 kmph

Hence Answer is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed is 40 km/h.

What is Average speed?

The average speed of a body is equal to the total distance covered, divided by the total time taken. The formula for average speed is given as:

Average Speed Formula:

Average Speed = Total distance covered ÷ Total time taken

Example:

sing the average speed formula, find the average speed of Sam, who covers the first 200 kilometers in 4 hours and the next 160 kilometers in another 4 hours.

Solution:

To find the average speed we need the total distance and the total time.

Total distance covered by Sam = 200Km + 160 km = 360 km

Total time taken by Sam = 4 hour + 4 hour = 8 hour

Average Speed = Total distance covered ÷ Total time taken

Average Speed = 360 ÷ 8 = 45km/hr

Given:

d1= 60 km

d2= 30

d3 = 60

Total Distance : 1*60 +60=120

Total time taken = 1+ 60/30= 1+2=3

Now,

average speed = total distance/ total time taken

= 120/3

= 40 kmph

Answers

Answer:

12 blue marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 2:5 by 8 to get 16:40

multiply 3:10 by 4 to get 12:40

add 16 to 12 to get 28

Subtract 28 from 40 to get 12

Ultimately, you have 12 blue marbles

The given ratios can be expressed as fractions, from which the number of

each colored marble can be found.

The number of blue marbles in the box are 12 blue marbles.

Reasons:

Red : Total = 2:5

Green : Total = 3:10

Stones that are neither red nor green is blue

Number of marbles (stones) in the box = 40 marbles

Required:

The number of blue stones in the box.

Solution:

Let x represent the b in the box, let R = red stones, G = green stones, and B = blue stones, we have;

x = 40

Expressing the ratios as fractions gives;

[tex]\dfrac{R}{x} = \dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]R= \dfrac{2}{5} \times x[/tex]

[tex]R= \dfrac{2}{5} \times 40 = 16[/tex]

The number of red stones, R = 16

Similarly, we have

[tex]\dfrac{G}{x} = \dfrac{3}{10}[/tex]

[tex]G = \dfrac{3}{10} \times x[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]G = \dfrac{3}{10} \times 40 = 12[/tex]

The number of green stones, G = 12

B = x - (R + G)

Therefore;

B = 40 - (16 + 12) = 12  

The number of blue marbles, B = 12 marbles.
