A study was conducted on students from a particular high school over the last 8 years. The following information was found regarding standardized tests used for college admitance. Scores on the SAT test are normally distributed with a mean of 1070 and a standard deviation of 204. Scores on the ACT test are normally distributed with a mean of 19.1 and a standard deviation of 5.2. It is assumed that the two tests measure the same aptitude, but use different scales.
(A) If a student gets an SAT score that is the 51-percentile, find the actual SAT score. Round answer to a whole number. SAT score =
(B) What would be the equivalent ACT score for this student? Round answer to 1 decimal place. ACT score =
(C) If a student gets an SAT score of 1417, find the equivalent ACT score. Round answer to 1 decimal place. ACT score =

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) SAT score = 1075

b) ACT score = 19.2.

c) ACT score = 27.9.

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.

(A) If a student gets an SAT score that is the 51-percentile, find the actual SAT score

SAT scores have mean 1070 and standard deviation 204, so [tex]\mu = 1070, \sigma = 204[/tex]

51th percentile means that Z has a p-value of 0.51, so Z = 0.025. The score is X. So

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

[tex]0.025 = \frac{X - 1070}{204}[/tex]

[tex]X - 1070 = 0.025*204[/tex]

[tex]X = 1075[/tex]

SAT score = 1075.

(B) What would be the equivalent ACT score for this student?

ACT scores have mean of 19.1 and standard deviation of 5.2, which means that [tex]\mu = 19.1, \sigma = 5.2[/tex]. The equivalent score is X when Z = 0.025. So

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

[tex]0.025 = \frac{X - 19.1}{5.2}[/tex]

[tex]X - 19.1 = 0.025*5.2[/tex]

[tex]X = 19.2[/tex]

ACT score = 19.2.

(C) If a student gets an SAT score of 1417, find the equivalent ACT score.

Z-score for the SAT:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{1417 - 1070}{204}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.7[/tex]

Equivalent score on the ACT:

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

[tex]1.7 = \frac{X - 19.1}{5.2}[/tex]

[tex]X - 19.1 = 1.7*5.2[/tex]

[tex]X = 27.9[/tex]

ACT score = 27.9.

The sum of Alex and John's money is $48. Alex has $3 more than twice the amount John has. How much money do they each have? ​

Answers

Answer:

John has $15 and Alex has $33

Step-by-step explanation:

a systems of equations can be made from the information on the problem

x+y=48

x=2y+3

since x= 2y+3 substitute 2y+3 in the firat equation to get:

(2y+3)+y=48  -> 3y+3=48 -> 3y=45  -> y=15

plug in 15 for y in the second equation to solve for x

x+15 =48 --> x=33

Find the missing side of each right triangle (Pythagorean’s #Theorem)

Answers

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the Pythagorean's Theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, so first you know that hypotenuse is the longest side or the opposite side from which the right angle is which in this case is the 6 so you are looking for a leg rather then the hypotenuse which means we are going to be doing subtraction.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

√27^2 - b^2 = 6^2

27 - b^2 = 36

-27            -27

         b^2 = 9

         b^2 = √9

What will be the coordinates of the image after a translation up 4 units and right 6 units

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, translate each point and then use the process of elimination.

For the first point, the coordinates are (-4, -2). The -4 is x and the -2 is y. Translations up and down relate to the y value, while translations left and right relate to x. To translate up 4 units, add 4 to the y value of the coordinate. -2 + 4 is 2, so the y coordinate of the first point will be 2. That eliminated A and D.

For the second point, translate up 4 units (-5 + 4) and you get -1. So the y value of the second point will be -1. In option C, it is positive 1. So that leaves only B.

The number [tex]\frac{225}{4}[/tex] is added to the polynomial below to complete the square.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perfect square binomial:

A perfect square binomial is given by:

[tex](a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2[/tex]

In this question:

We have that:

[tex]a^2 + 2ab + b^2 = x^2 + 15x + ?[/tex]

Since [tex]a = x[/tex], we have that:

[tex]2ab = 15x[/tex]

[tex]2b = 15[/tex]

[tex]b = \frac{15}{2}[/tex]

Completing the square:

The term that completes the square is [tex]b^2[/tex]. So

[tex]b^2 = (\frac{15}{2})^2 = \frac{225}{4}[/tex]

The number [tex]\frac{225}{4}[/tex] is added to the polynomial below to complete the square.
