Suppose that scores on a particular test are normally distributed with a mean of 140 and a standard deviation of 18. What is the minimum score needed to be in the top 5% of the scores on the test? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places, and round your answer to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

153.16

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score = ???

μ is the population mean = 140

σ is the population standard deviation = 8

Top 5% means the score is in the 95th percentile

The z score of 95th percentile = 1.645

1.645 = x - 140/8

Cross Multiply

1.645 × 8 = x - 140

13.16 = x - 140

x = 13.16 + 140

x = 153.16

Therefore, the minimum score needed to be in the top 5% of the scores on the test is 153.16

A simple interest of Ghc 37,500.00 is earned on an amount of Ghc 500,000.00 for three years. Find the rate of interest per annum?​

Answers

Answer:

2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

A simple interest of Ghc 37,500.00 is earned on an amount of Ghc 500,000.00 for three years. Find the rate of interest per annum?

The formula for Rate of Interest in a simple interest is given as:

r = (1/t)(A/P - 1)

Where

t = time in years = 3 years

P = Principal = Initial amount invested = Ghc 500,000.00

A = Amount after t years =

Principal + Simple Interest

= Ghc 500,000.00 + Ghc 37,500.00

= Ghc 537,500.00

Hence:

The rate of interest = (1/3) × (Ghc 537,500.00/Ghc 500,000.00 - 1)

= r = 0.025

Converting r decimal to R a percentage

R = 0.025 × 100 = 2.5%/year

Therefore, the rate of interest per annum is 2.5%

Answers

Answer:

Either A or C I think, Good luck!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Its B

Step-by-step explanation:

24x2+25x−47=(−8x−3)(ax−2)−53

then multiply (−8x−3) and (ax−2) using FOIL.

24x2+25x−47=−8ax2−3ax+16x+6−53

Then, reduce the right side of the equation

24x2+25x−47=−8ax2−3ax+16x−47

Since the coefficients of the x2-term have to be equal on both sides of the equation, −8a=24, or a=−3.

The final answer is B.

Y= x-v/b

Answers

Answer:

x=y+v/b

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you have y=x-v/b. You want to isolate x, so subtract x from both sides. You'll get -x+y=-v/b. Next, you're going to want to subtract y to further isolate x now that it's on the left side. Now you'll have -x=-y-v/b. But you don't want x to be negative, so you can divide both sides by -1 to make x positive. Now you'll have x=y+v/b.

Draw a horizontal through E, parallel to AB and CD such that it divides angle E into two angles of 55° each. Produce line AB to M such that the 55° at E is alternate with it.

The total number of sides in the cube are 6 (1,2,3,4,5,6). If Dimas only wants to roll either a 2 or 3 then that would mean that he has 2 chances out of the total 6 probable outcomes to roll one of those numbers.

A collector has 100 movie posters and 80 band posters. She wants to sell 30 movie posters but still have her poster collection maintain the same ratio of 100:80. If she sells 30 movie posters, how many band posters should she sell? Complete the explanation to find out how many band posters she should sell.

Answers

Answer: 24 band posters should be sold

Step-by-step explanation:

First take the expression down to its simplest form;

= 5:4

Assume she sells 30 movie posters, her movies posters drop to;

= 100 - 30

= 70 movie posters

We need a number of band posters remaining that will give a ratio of 5:4 with movie posters.

In fraction form, the number of movie posters is;

= 5/9 because 9 would be the total number of both movie posters and band posters.

Create an expression to find the total number of posters if 70 are movie posters;

5/9x = 70

x = 70 ÷ 5/9

x = 126 posters

Number of band posters that should be left are;

= 126 - 70

= 56

Number of band posters that should be sold;

= 80 - 56

= 24 posters

The new ratio would be 70:56.

Edals of Petals, a bike manufacturer that makes flower-themed bikes, has a fixed cost of $100,000 due to the equipment necessary to make the bicycles. Additionally, each bike costs $100 in labor and materials to make. If each bike sells for $300, how many bikes must be sold in order for the company to break even?

Answers

Given:

Fixed cost = $100,000

Additional cost = $100 on each bike

Selling price = $300 each bike

To find:

The number of bikes that must be sold in order for the company to break even.

Solution:

Let x be the number of bikes.

Additional cost of 1 bike = $100

Additional cost of x bikes = $100x

So, the cost function is

Total cost = Fixed cost + Additional cost

[tex]C(x)=100000+100x[/tex]

Selling price of 1 bike = $300

Selling price of x bikes = $300x

So, the revenue function is

[tex]R(x)=300x[/tex]

At break even, the profit is zero. It other words, cost and revenue are equal.

[tex]C(x)=R(x)[/tex]

[tex]100000+100x=300x[/tex]

[tex]100000=300x-100x[/tex]

[tex]100000=200x[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{100000}{200}=x[/tex]

[tex]500=x[/tex]

Therefore, 500 bikes must be sold in order for the company to break even.

Tyrese wants to buy 15 packs of baseball cards. They cost $ 5.00 per pack. There is a 25 % discount before tax if 10 or more packs are purchased. Sales tax is 7 % . Tyrese gives the cashier $ 100 to pay for his baseball cards. How much change will he receive in return?

Answers

Answer:

Tyrese will receive $39.81 in return.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to multiply the 15 packs for the cost per pack:

15*$5=$75

As there is a 25% discount before tax if 10 or more packs are purchased, you have to calculate 25% of the total cost for the 15 packs and subtract that amount from the cost:

$75*25%=$18.75

$75-$18.75=$56.25

Then, you have to calculate 7% of the amount with the discount and add that to the cost:

$56.25*7%=$3.93

$56.25+$3.94=$60.19

Now, you can subtract $60.19 from $100 to find the change that Tyrese will receive in return:

$100-$60.19= $39.81

According to this, the answer is that Tyrese will receive $39.81 in return.

The relationship between the circumference, c, and diameter, d, of any circle.

Solution:

We know that, circumference of a circle is

It can be written as

[tex]C=(2r)\pi [/tex]

[tex]C=d\pi [/tex]         [tex][\because d=2r][/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is (F).

Which angle is coterminal with a 635° angle?


A. An angle measuring 85°
B. An angle measuring 275°
C. An angle measuring 255°
D. An angle measuring 335°

Answers

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is B bevause you subtract 635 and 360, and then you get 275.

An angle measuring 275° is coterminal with a 635° angle.

What is Coterminal angles?

This classification represents angles that do not present the same value, but they present vertices and sides are identical. Also, if the angles are coterminal, then their sines, cosines and tangents are equal.

here, we have,

we know that,

A coterminal angle can be found from the formula β = α ± 360 * w, where w is a positive integer.

Thus,

For w=1 and α=635°

       β = 635° ± 360 * 1

       β = 635° ± 360

      Then, β can be 635°+360=995° or 635°-360= 275°

For w=2 and α=635°°

       β = 635° ± 360 * 2

       β = 635° ± 720

      Then, β can be 635°+720=1355° or 635°-720= -85°

      Therefore, the answer to this question is option B.
