John finds that there is a scholarship available to all personals scoring in the top 5% on the ACT test. If the mean score on the ACT is 21 with a standard deviation of 4.7, what score does he need in order to qualify for the scholarship

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

He needs a score of 28.7315 to qualify for the scholarship

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.

The mean score on the ACT is 21 with a standard deviation of 4.7

This means that [tex]\mu = 21, \sigma = 4.7[/tex]

What score does he need in order to qualify for the scholarship?

The top 5%, so the 100 - 5 = 95th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.95, so X when Z = 1.645.

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

[tex]1.645 = \frac{X - 21}{4.7}[/tex]

[tex]X - 21 = 4.7*1.645[/tex]

[tex]X = 28.7315[/tex]

He needs a score of 28.7315 to qualify for the scholarship

Victor wanted to know the height of a tree at his friend’s house. On Saturday morning, he measured the shadow of the tree along the ground to be 24 feet long. At the same time, he measured his own shadow to be 3 feet long. Victor is 6 feet tall. Find the height of the tree

Answers

The shadow of the tree is 12ft long. Divide the height of the tree (24) by Victors height (6), which will equal 4. Then multiple 4 and the height of victors shadow. (this is my first time doing this, hope it helped:)

This equation shows how the total number of pieces Lamar has learned depends on the number of weeks he has taken piano lessons. P = w The variable w represents the number of weeks he has taken piano lessons, and the variable p represents the total number of pieces he has learned. In all, how many weeks of piano lessons will Lamar need before he will be able to play a total of 19 pieces?

Answers

Answer:

19 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

P = w

Where,

w = the number of weeks he has taken piano lessons

p = the total number of pieces he has learned

how many weeks of piano lessons will Lamar need before he will be able to play a total of 19 pieces?

Find w when p = 19

P = w

p = 19

Since P = w

19 = w

Therefore,

w = 19

Lamar need 19 weeks before he will be able to play a total of 19 pieces

The cost of 10 donuts and 2 cakes is the same. If the cost of 3 cakes and 5 donuts is $8, find the cost of a cake.

Answers

Answer:

$2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a donut and a cake be $d and $c respectively.

10d= 2c

Dividing both sides by 2:

5d= c -----(1)

3c +5d= 8 -----(2)

Substitute (1) into (2):

3c +c= 8

Simplify:

4c= 8

Divide both sides by 4:

c= 8 ÷4

c= 2

∴ The cost of a cake is $2.

m ∠S = 43°

Step-by-step explanation:

Exterior angle = Sum of opposite interior angles

(6x)° = 77° + (2x + 3)°

6x = 77 + 2x + 3

6x - 2x = 77 + 3

4x = 80

x = 20

m ∠S = (2x + 3)° = 2(20) + 3 = 40 + 3 = 43°

Answer:

∠ S = 43°

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

∠ PQR is an exterior angle of the triangle, then

6x = 77 + 2x + 3 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

4x = 80 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 20

Then

∠ S = 2x + 3 = 2(20) + 3 = 40 + 3 = 43°

Question 9 You are rushing out to get to your appointment in 30 minutes. From experience you know that most of the time you travel this distance in 30 minutes. However, half of the time there is heavy traffic. In the past, there has been heavy traffic and you have made it to your appointment within 30 minutes 34% of the time. You get out on the street and see that there is heavy traffic. What is the chance you will get to your appointment on time

Answers

Answer:

0.68

Step-by-step explanation:

According To the Question,

Let, H ⇒ "heavy traffic" & T ⇒  "get there on time".

Then, "half of the time there is heavy traffic" ⇔ P(H)=0.5.

Given, In the past, there has been heavy traffic and you have made it to your appointment within 30 minutes 34% of the time. This has to be taken to mean P(H and T) = 0.34.

Now, you are given that there is heavy traffic, so We need to find P(T I H).

 P(T l H) = P(H and T) / P(T)

P(T l H) = 0.34/0.5 ⇒ 0.68

Answer:

Amber has a total of $1225.54 after 10 years. Jin has a total of $1225.35 after 10 years. So, Amber earns $0.19 more

Step-by-step explanation:

A: Amber

First, convert 8 percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 8/100

r = 0.08 rate per year

P = Principal

e = 2.71828(mathematical constant)

t = time  

Then solve the equation for A

A = P*e^(r*t)

A = 1,000.00(2.71828)^(0.08)(10)

A = $2,225.54  

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $1,000.00 at a rate of 8% per year compounded continuously over 10 years for Amber is $2,225.54.

J: Jin

First, convert 8 as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 8/100

r = 0.08 rate per year

n = 365 days

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)^n*t

A = 1,000.00(1 + 0.08/365)(365)(10)

A = 1,000.00(1 + 0.000219178)(3650)

A = $2,225.35

Summary:

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $1,000.00 at a rate of 8% per year compounded 365 times per year over 10 years for Jin is $2,225.35.

$2,225.54-1000=A($1225.54)

$2,225.35-1000=J($1225.35)

Amy has a rectangular garden that is 23 feet wide. If the length of the garden is 12 feet, what is the length of its diagonal, in feet? Round to the nearest tenth​

Answers

Answer:

25.9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If you split a rectangle into 2 pieces with a diagonal, each piece will be a right triangle

Therefore we can use the pythagorean theorem to solve this problem

The two legs of the right triangle will be 23 and 12

The formula is a^2 +b^2=c^2

c^2 is the diagonal squared ( the hypotenuse)

So:

12^2+23^2=c^2

144+529=c^2

673=c^2

To find just c we need to find the square root of 673, rounded to the nearest tenth

[tex]\sqrt{673}=25.9[/tex]

(the equation is rounded)

So the diagonal is 25.9

Anne is painting her house light blue. To make the color she wants, she must add 3 cans of white paint to every 2 cans of blue paint. How many cans of white paint will she need to mix with 6 cans of blue?

Answers

Answer:

9 cans of white paint

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you can set up a ratio.

The ratio right now is 3 : 2, you have 3 cans of white paint for every 2 cans of blue paint. This question is asking how many white paint cans would be needed for 6 cans of blue paint. You can see the relationship between the number of blue paint cans and the new number of blue paint cans, maybe it's multiplying by 4 or 2 for example, and once we find that out we can do the same exact thing to the white cans.

[tex]\frac{3}{2} = \frac{?}{6}[/tex]

We can see that to get from 2 to 6 you multiply by 3, so now we do that to the other side of the fraction as well, we multiply by 3. 3 multiplied by 3 is 9, so if we were to have 6 cans of blue paint we would need 9 cans of white paint to get that perfect shade of light blue. Anne would need 9 cans of white paint if she had 6 cans of blue paint to make her shade of blue.
