Answer:

86.64%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean (μ) = 220

σ= 16

n= 4

mean score(X) = 220 -12

= 208

Using central limit theorem which says that for a sample of size (n), the standard error is

standard deviation /√n

= 16/√4

= 16/2

= 8

Standard error = 8

Using Z score

Z = (μ - x) / standard error

Z= (220 -208)/8

Z= 12/8

Z= 1.5

From the table, Z = 1.5 = 0.4332

Since the normal distribution curve is symmetrical, we have

0.4332*2

= 0.8664

Percentage = 0.8664*100

= 86.64%

masha68 [24]
I say it is C. Basically I just eliminate the potential answered down. A could not be the one since not all student in 2nd period got 100% and average students got below 95%. B cannot be it since both box plot have the same median. I do not think D is it because of how the answer is told. "The 4th period class should get the reward. Their lowest score is an outlier, and should be thrown out," it sound childish and makeing a joke to put "and should be thrown out." I may be wrong but that is my opinion. The relatively the best and reasonable answer is C.

ZX bisects ∠WZY. If the measure of ∠YXZ is (6m – 12)°, what is the value of m?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.  17

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, ZX bisects ∠WZY. If the measure of ∠YXZ is (6m – 12)°

To find the value of m

From the figure we can see that, triangle WYZ is an isosceles  triangle.

ZW = ZY

Then <YXZ = <WXZ = 90°

It is given ∠YXZ  = (6m – 12)°

(6m – 12)° =  90°

6m = 90 + 12  = 102

m = 102/6 = 17

Therefore the value of m = 17

The correct answer is option B.  17

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Justin worked as a babysitter  8 hours and worked as a lifeguard 2 hours last week

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> number of hours worked as a babysitter  last week

y ----> number of hours worked as a lifeguard last week

we know that

8x+14y=92 ----> equation A

x=4y ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A

8(4y)+14y=92

solve for y

32y+14y=92

46y=92

y=2

Find the value of x

x=4(2)=8

therefore

Justin worked as a babysitter  8 hours and worked as a lifeguard 2 hours last week

Alla [95]
As long as your indexes are the same (which they are; they are all square roots) and you radicands are the same (which they are; they are all 11), then you can add or subtract.  The rules for adding and subtracting radicals are more picky than multiplying or dividing.  Just like adding fractions or combining like terms.  Since all the square roots are the same we only have to worry about the numbers outside.  In fact, it may help to factor out the sqrt 11: (5-12-2) \sqrt{11}.  The numbers subtract to give you -9.  Therefore, the simplification is -9 \sqrt{11}

How might you prove your observations about the slope of a midsegment in part d using algebra and x- and y-coordinates? Briefly
ioda

Answer: I can use variables to represent the coordinates of the vertices for a general triangle ABC. then I can calculate the midpoints of the sides in terms of the same variables, and calculate the slope of each midsegment showing that the expression for the slope of a midsegment is the same as the expression for the slope of the third side of the triangle proves that the two are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation: this is word for word btw!
