The SAT and ACT college entrance exams are taken by thousands of students each year. The scores on the exam for any one year produce a histogram that looks very much like a normal curve. Thus, we can say that the scores are approximately normally distributed. In recent years, the SAT mathematics scores have averaged around 480 with standard deviation of 100. The ACT mathematics scores have averaged around 18 with a standard deviation of 6.
a. An engineering school sets 550 as the minimum SAT math score for new students. What percent of students would score less than 550 in a typical year?
b. What would the engineering school set as comparable standard on the ACT math test?
c. What is the probability that a randomly selected student will score over 700 on the SAT math test?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 75.8% of students would score less than 550 in a typical year.

b) The comparable standard would be a minimum ACT score of 22.2.

c) 0.0139 = 1.39% probability that a randomly selected student will score over 700 on the SAT math test.

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.

Question a:

SAT, so mean of 480 and standard deviation of 100, that is, [tex]\mu = 480, \sigma = 100[/tex]

The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 550. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{550 - 480}{100}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.7[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.7[/tex] has a p-value of 0.758.

0.758*100% = 75.8%

75.8% of students would score less than 550 in a typical year.

b. What would the engineering school set as comparable standard on the ACT math test?

ACT, with a mean of 18 and a standard deviation of 6, so [tex]\mu = 18, \sigma = 6[/tex]

The comparable score is X when Z = 0.7. So

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

[tex]0.7 = \frac{X - 18}{6}[/tex]

[tex]X - 18 = 0.7*6[/tex]

[tex]X = 22.2[/tex]

The comparable standard would be a minimum ACT score of 22.2.

c. What is the probability that a randomly selected student will score over 700 on the SAT math test?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 700, so:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{700 - 480}{100}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.2[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.2[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9861.

1 - 0.9861 = 0.0139

0.0139 = 1.39% probability that a randomly selected student will score over 700 on the SAT math test.

Transformation: Reflection over the x-axis and a translation of shifting right 10 units.

Answers

Given:

The vertices of a triangle are A(−1,−3) , B(−4,−1) and C(−6,−4).

Transformation: Reflection over the x-axis and a translation of shifting right 10 units.

To find:

The image after glide reflection transformation.

Solution:

The vertices of a triangle are A(−1,−3) , B(−4,−1) and C(−6,−4).

If a figure is reflected over the x-axis, then

[tex](x,y)\to (x,-y)[/tex]

Using this, we get

[tex]A(-1,-3)\to A'(-1,3)[/tex]

[tex]B(-4,-1)\to B'(-4,1)[/tex]

[tex]C(-6,-4)\to C'(-6,4)[/tex]

If a figure is shifting 10 units right, then

[tex](x,y)\to (x+10,y)[/tex]

Using this we get

[tex]A'(-1,3)\to A''(-1+10,3)[/tex]

[tex]A'(-1,3)\to A''(9,3)[/tex]

Similarly,

[tex]B'(-4,1)\to B''(-4+10,1)[/tex]

[tex]B'-4,1)\to B''(6,1)[/tex]

And,

[tex]C'(-6,-4)\to C''(-6+10,4)[/tex]

[tex]C'(-6,-4)\to C''(4,4)[/tex]

Therefore, the vertices of the image are A''(9,3), B''(6,1) and C''(4,4).

B. y- 9 = 6(x - 3)
C. y- 9 = 2(x-3)
D. y + 3 = 6(x-1)​

Answers

The slope of the line is 6, meaning that you can eliminate A,C. Since the point slope formula is y-y1=m(x-x1) you just need to see if the points are correct.

B. (3,9)
D. (1,-3)

While these do contain one point, substitute the coordinates to see which contain both.

B.

(1,-3): -3-9=6(1-3): -12=-12
(3,9): 9-9=6(9-3): 0= 6(6)

D.

(1,-3): -3+3=6(1-1): 0=6(0); 0=0
(3,9): 9+3=6(3-1): 12=6(2): 12=12

D is correct since the coordinate are on the line.

Find the remainder when f(x)=x3−4x2−6x−3 f ( x ) = x 3 − 4 x 2 − 6 x − 3 is divided by x+1

Answers

Answer:

The remainder is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Polynomial Remainder Theorem, if we divide a polynomial P(x) by a binomial (x - a), then the remainder of the operation will be given by P(a).

Our polynomial is:

[tex]P(x) = x^3-4x^2-6x-3[/tex]

And we want to find the remainder when it's divided by the binomial:

[tex]x+1[/tex]

We can rewrite our divisor as (x - (-1)). Hence, a = -1.

Then by the PRT, the remainder will be:

[tex]\displaystyle\begin{aligned} R &= P(-1)\\ &=(-1)^3-4(-1)^2-6(-1)-3 \\ &= (-1)-4(1)+(6)-3 \\ &= -2 \end{aligned}[/tex]

The remainder is -2.

If you used more than 60 minutes, i.e. (x – 60 minutes more than the plan came with, you would pay an additional $0.40 for each of those (x – 60 minutes. Your total bill would be C (x) = 30 + 0.40 (x – 60). If you want to keep your bill at $50 or lower for the month, what is the maximum number of calling minutes you can use? minutes. The maximum calling minutes you can use is ? Number​

Answers

Answer:

The maximum number of minutes to keep the cost at $50 or less is 110 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]C(x) = 30[/tex] ---- [tex]x < 60[/tex]

[tex]C(x) = 30 + 0.40(x - 60)[/tex] --- [tex]x \ge 60[/tex]

Required

[tex]C(x) = 50[/tex] ---- find x

We have:

[tex]C(x) = 30 + 0.40(x - 60)[/tex]

Substitute 50 for C(x)

[tex]50 = 30 + 0.40(x - 60)[/tex]

Subtract 30 from both sides

[tex]20 = 0.40(x - 60)[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.40

[tex]50 = x - 60[/tex]

Add 60 to both sides

Instructions: Given the vertex of a quadratic function, find the axis
of symmetry.
Vertex: (5,7)

Answers

Taking into account the definition of axis of simmetry and vertexn the axis of symmetry is x = 5.

So, first of all, you must know what a quadratic function is. Every quadratic function can be expressed as follows:

f(x) = a*x² + b*x + c

where a, b and c are real numbers.

Axis of symetry

The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola. Every parabola is a symmetric curve with respect to a horizontal line called the axis of symmetry.

That is, the axis of symmetry is an imaginary line that passes through the middle of the parabola and divides it into two halves that are equal of each other.

In other words, the axis of symmetry of a parabola is a vertical line that divides the parabola into two equal halves and always passes through the vertex of the parabola.

Vertex

The point of intersection of the axis of symmetry with the parabola is called the vertex.

The axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex of the parabola. The x-coordinate of the vertex is the equation of the axis of symmetry of the parabola.

Summary

Being the vertex of the quadratic function (5,7), where the vertex on the x-axis has a value of 5 and on the y-axis a value of 7, the axis of symmetry is x = 5.

After 7% discount, Faizal get RM1,930 from a bank. He then promised to pay the bank RM2,000

Kaspersk
Th​

Answers

The period of days (value of x) for which Faizal promised to pay the bank RM 2,000 after getting 7% discounted present value of RM 1,930 is 180 days.

The value of x is the period of days (number of days) that the loan from the bank will last before Faizal, who received RM 1,930 discounted at 7%, would repay the bank the principal and interest of RM 2,000.

This implies that Faizal is paying an interest of RM 70 (RM 2,000 - RM 1,930), since he borrowed RM 1,930 and will repay RM 2,000.

Data and Calculations:

Present value of loan received = RM 1,930

Discount rate per year = 7%

Future value of the loan to be repaid to the bank = RM 2,000

Interest expense for one year based on 7% = RM 140 (RM 2,000 x 7%)

Interest expense for 180 days or 6 months = RM 70 (RM 2,000 - RM 1,930) or (RM 2,000 x 7%) x 180/360

Interest expense that equals RM 70 will be half of a year or 180 days (RM 140 * 180/360)

Thus, the period of days (x) that will lapse for Faizal to repay the bank is 180 days or half of a year (6 months).
