sat scores have a mean of 500 and standard deviation of 200. act scores have a mean of 20 and a standard deviation of 5. suppose that student a has an sat score of 600, and student b has an act score of 25. using z-scores, which student had a better college entrance exam score?

Answers

Answer 1

‘B’ had a better college entrance exam score due to the higher value of Z-Score.

The Z-score of an observation is the number of standard deviations it falls above or below the mean. Standard deviation is a statistic that is used to measure the dispersion of a dataset relative to its mean and is calculated by doing the square root of the variance.

[tex]Z=\frac{(observation-mean)}{standard deviation}[/tex]

By putting the values as given in the question,We get,

A's score is (600 - 500) / 200 = 0.5 standard deviation i.e. above the mean.

B's score is (25 - 20) / 5 = 1 standard deviations i.e. above the mean.

Thus ‘B’ had a better score.

I need to know how to get the answers I’m new to this

Always that we have an integer, let's say 2, we can rewrite it like:

[tex]\frac{2}{1}[/tex]

This will help us when multiplying fractions. To multiply two fractions, we simply multiply the numerator with the numerator and denominator with denominator. In this case:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2\times-\frac{7}{4}=\frac{2}{1}\times-\frac{7}{4}^{} \\ \\ -\frac{2\times^{}7}{1\times4} \end{gathered}[/tex]

And then solve:

[tex]-\frac{2\times^{}7}{1\times4}=-\frac{14}{4}[/tex]

Now we can further simplify this fraction, because 14 and 4 are divisible by 2, then:

14 = 2 x 7

4 = 2 x 2

Then the final answer is:

[tex]-\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

The powers of the imaginary number i have four possible values: 1, i, -1, and -i. Let's see some examples:

i⁰ = 1 (any number with the exponent 0 equals 1)

i¹ = i (any number with the exponent 1 is the number itself)

i² = -1 (this follows from the definition of the imaginary number, the square root of -1)

i³ = i² * i = -1 * i = -i

Now, the results start to repeat from 1 to -i:

i⁴= i² * i² = (-1) * (-1) = 1

i⁵ = i⁴ * i = 1 * i = i

i⁶ = i * i⁵ = i * i = i² = -1

i⁷ = i⁶ * i = -1 * i = -i

From that, we can follow the steps below to find the value of a power of i:

• divide the exponent by 4;

,

• if the rest of the division is 0, then the power equals ,i⁰ = 1,;

,

• if the rest of the division is 1, then the power equals ,i¹ = i,;

,

• if the rest of the division is 2, then the power equals ,i² = -1,;

,

• if the rest of the division is 3, then the power equals ,i³ = -i,.

So, for the power i⁶⁴⁹, the exponent is 649. Following the steps above, we find:

• 649/4, has a quotient of 162 and the, rest 1,. Therefore:

i⁶⁴⁹ = i¹ = i

Thus, i⁶⁴⁹ equals i.

what is y= –12x–6 on a graph

Answers

The graph of the equation y = –12x – 6 is attached in the solution.

We can find the x and y intercept of the line to find make the graph.

Putting x = 0 in the given equation, we get:-

y = -12(0) - 6 = 0 - 6 = -6

Hence, the x -intercept is (0,-6).

Putting y = 0 in the given equation, we get:-

0 = -12x - 6

6 = -12x

x = 6/(-12)

x = -1/2

Hence, the y -intercept is (-1/2,0).

We can find another point on the line.

Putting x = -1 in the given equation, we get:-

y = -12(-1) - 6

y = 12 - 6 = 6

y = 6

Hence, another point on the line is (-1,6).  

Plotting these points we can graph the equation of the line.

If Katerina completes a 15-mile run in 2 1/2 hours. She will complete a mile in an average of five minutes. Option B is correct.

What is average?

It is described as a single number that indicates either the closed value for each entry in the set of data or the mean value for the entire set of data.

It is given that, In 2 1/2 hours, Katerina completes a 15-mile run.

We have to find the average number of minutes it takes her to run 1 mile.

15 miles = 2 1/2 hours

15 miles=5/2 hours

The unitary approach allows us to calculate the value of a single unit and then use that value to calculate the value of the required number of units.

1 miles= 5 /30 hours

1 miles = 1/6 hours

As we know that 1 hour consists of 60 minutes.

1 hours = 60 minute

1 mile = 60 / 6 minutes

1 miles = 10 minute

Thus, the average number of minutes it takes her to run 1 mile will be 10 minutes. Option B is correct.

Find the reminder when 2 to the 100th power is divided by 5 explain your work

Answers

The reminder of 2 to the 100th power divided by 5 is 1

What is the reminder when 2 raised to the power of 100 is divided by 5?

2 to the 100th power is:

[tex]2^{100}[/tex]  = 1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376

Then dividing 2 to the 100th power by 5:

1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376 / 5 = 253,530,120,045,645,880,299,340,641,075  (without considering the decimal value)

This tells us how many times 5 can divide 2 to the 100th power.

Next, we need to multiply the answer obtained from the division by 5 (since we used 5 to divide):

253,530,120,045,645,880,299,340,641,075 x 5 = 1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,375

Lastly, subtracting our last answer from the value of 2 to the 100th power will give us the reminder:

1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376 - 1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,375 = 1

How much would it cost to get 5 small greeting cards and 4 large greeting cards? How much would it cost to get xx small greeting cards and yy large greeting cards?

Answers

The Total cost of x small and y large greeting cards is; 1.25x + 4.50y.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Given that the Cost of the small greeting card = is $1.25 .

The Cost of the large greeting card =$4.50.

We need to determine the Total cost of 5 small and 4 large greeting cards and the total cost of x small and y large greeting cards.

The Cost of 5 small greeting cards = 6.25

The Cost of 4 large greeting cards = 18

Then the Total cost = $6.25+ $18 =$24.25

Therefore, the Total cost of 5 small and 4 large greeting cards is; $24.25.

Now, the total cost of x small and y large greeting cards will be;

Cost of x small greeting cards = 1.25x

Cost of y large greeting cards = 4.50y

Total cost = 1.25x + 4.50y

Therefore, the Total cost of x small and y large greeting cards is; 1.25x + 4.50y.

To answer the question, we have to understand the different parts of an algebraic expression

An expression containing variables, numbers, and operation symbols is called an algebraic expression. is an example of an algebraic expression. Each expression is made up of terms. A term can be a signed number, a variable, or a constant multiplied by a variable or variables.

We are given the algebraic expression:

For the given question

The difference means the result of subtracting one number from another or How much one number differs from another, so we have

[tex]24-2p\text{ representing Difference}[/tex]

Then

The coefficient is is a number or any symbol representing a constant value that is multiplied by the variable of a single term or the terms of a polynomial, so we have

[tex]3\text{ representing coefficient}[/tex]

Also

A quotient is a number resulting from the division of one number by another, so we have

[tex]\frac{3p^2}{5}\text{ representing a quotient}[/tex]

Finally,

A product is the result of multiplication or an expression that identifies factors to be multiplied.

Thus, we have

Radio waves have a low frequency, which limits their ability to deliver large amounts of data at once.
