In 2017 the SAT had a mean score of 1060 with standard deviation of 195 (max score of 1600) while the ACT had a mean of 20.9 with standard deviation of 5.6 (max composite score of 36). Reed and Maria apply to the same college. Maria took the SAT and received a score of 1270 while Reed took the ACT and received a score of 27. Which student performed better in relationship to their peers

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Due to the higher z-score, Reed performed better in relationship to their peers

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

Whoever had the higher z-score performed better in relation to their peers.

Maria:

Took the SAT, grade 1270, so [tex]X = 1270[/tex]

Mean score of 1060 with standard deviation of 195 (max score of 1600). This means that [tex]\mu = 1060, \sigma = 295[/tex]. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{1270 - 1060}{295}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.71[/tex]

Reed:

Took the ACT, score of 27, so [tex]X = 27[/tex]

Mean of 20.9 with standard deviation of 5.6, which means that [tex]\mu = 20.9, \sigma = 5.6[/tex]. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{27 - 20.9}{5.6}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.09[/tex]

Due to the higher z-score, Reed performed better in relationship to their peers

Bob ate 24 pizzas in 1 1/3 hours. How many pizzas per hour did he eat?

Answers

Bob now has diabetes
You would unsimplify 1 1/3, and it would be 4/3 which means there are four thirds of an hour, so you would divide 24 by 4 and than multiply the answer of that by 3 to find the pizzas he ate in one hour which is 18

Answer:

  437.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of depression can be copied inside the triangle to the angle of elevation (at lower right). Then the side x can be seen to be adjacent to the angle.

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relations. Here, we have the hypotenuse and we want the adjacent angle. The relevant relation is ...

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  cos(29°) = x/(500 ft)

Multiplying by 500 ft gives ...

  x = (500 ft)cos(29°)

  x ≈ 437.3 ft

_____

Additional comment

You have posted a number of problems that make use of this geometry. They are all solved the same way:

  a) identify the desired measure and the given measures

  b) using SOH CAH TOA, identify the relation applicable to those measures

  c) fill in the given values in the equation

  d) solve for the unknown

You may need to make use of what you know about angles and triangles in order to relate given angles to ones you need to use.

Answers

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Area of the square = s²

Where,

s = (2x - 4)

Area = (2x - 4)² = (2x - 4)(2x - 4) = 2x(2x - 4) -4(2x - 4)

= 4x² - 8x - 8x + 16

Area of square = 4x² - 16x + 16

Area of rectangle = L × W = (3x - 6) × x

= 3x² - 6x

✔️Since both have the same area, therefore,

4x² - 16x + 16 = 3x² - 6x

Collect like terms

4x² - 3x² - 16x + 6x + 16 = 0

x² - 10x + 16 = 0

Factorize

x² - 2x - 8x + 16 = 0

x(x - 2) -8(x - 2) = 0

(x - 2)(x - 8) = 0

(x - 2) = 0 or (x - 8) = 0

x = 2 or x = 8

If we plug in x = 2 into any of the given side length, we would have 0. (i.e. 2x - 4 = 2*2 - 4 = 0)

So the value of x cannot be 2 because the length of any of the shape cannot be 0.

So therefore, the value of x = 8

What is the volume of this figure need help asap!!!

Answers

Answer:

312

Step-by-step explanation:

We can calculate by dividing it into 2 parts. The first part has length of 6, width of 4 and height of 2, so volume of this part is 48. Similarly, we can calculate that the volume of the second part is 264. Hence, the total volume is 312.

Answer:

Volume of the figure= 312 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay let's split this figure up into two different rectangles. Let's draw the line at the part of the rectangle that is nearest us (looking at the picture). The little part where it says 6 yd. and 4 yd.

We know volume is V= lwh

Start with the main rectangle (bigger one)

I see l=12, w=11, and h=2

So V(of main rectangle)=12x11x2

V(of main rectangle)=264

We have to go do the smaller rectangle now

I see l=4, w=6, but I know the h=2 because the height is the same as the main triangle.

So V(of smaller rectangle)=6x4x2

V(of smaller rectangle)=48

Now knowing the volume of the main and smaller rectangle, we have to add them to find the volume of the figure.

V(of smaller rectangle) + V(of main rectangle)

264 + 48

Volume of the figure= 312 yd²

A prime number is a number that is evenly divisible only by 1 and itself. The prime numbers less than 100 are listed below.2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 3137 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 7983 89 97Choose one of these numbers at random. Find the probability thata. The number is odd b. The sum of the digits is odd c. The number is greater than 70

Answers

Answer:

a. 0.96 = 96% probability that the number is odd.

b. 0.48 = 48% probability that the sum of the digits is odd.

c. 0.24 = 24% probability that the number is greater than 70.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

We are given the prime numbers less than 100, they are:

2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97

There are 25 prime numbers less than 100.

a. The number is odd

Of the 25, 24 are odd, only the number 2 is even. So

24/25 = 0.96 = 96%

0.96 = 96% probability that the number is odd.

b. The sum of the digits is odd

The sum of the digits is odd for:

3, 5, 7, 23, 29, 41, 43, 47, 61, 67, 83, 89. So for 12 of them

12/25 = 0.48 = 48%

0.48 = 48% probability that the sum of the digits is odd.

c. The number is greater than 70

71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97. 6 of them

6/25 = 0.24 = 24%

0.24 = 24% probability that the number is greater than 70.

A) The probability that one of the numbers is odd is; 96%

B) The probability that the sum of the digits is odd is; 48%

C) The probability that the number is greater than 70 is; 25%

We are given the prime numbers;

2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97

This is a total of 25 prime numbers.

Thus; N = 25

A) The number of odd numbers are 24.

Thus,probability of selecting an odd number is;

P(odd number) = 24/25

P(odd number) = 0.96 or 96%

B) The numbers that their sum is odd are:

3, 5, 7, 23, 29, 41, 43, 47, 61, 67, 83, 89

Kindly note that the single numbers are added to zero to make them odd too.

Thus there are 12 of them that their sum are odd.

P(sum is odd) = 12/25

P(sum is odd) = 0.48 or 48%

C) The numbers that are greater than 70 from the list are 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97. This is a total of 6 numbers.

Thus;

P(number is greater than 70) = 6/25

P(number is greater than 70) = 0.25 or 25%
