Raw scores on behavioral tests are often transformed for easier comparison. A test of reading ability has mean 67 and standard deviation 10 when given to third graders. Sixth graders have mean score 86 and standard deviation 9 on the same test. To provide separate "norms" for each grade, we want scores in each grade to have mean 100 and standard deviation 20. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
(a) What linear transformation will change third-grade scores x into new scores xnew = a + bx that have the desired mean and standard deviation? (Use b > 0 to preserve the order of the scores.) a = b = (b)
Do the same for the sixth-grade scores.
a =
b =
(c) David is a third-grade student who scores 79 on the test. Find David's transformed score.
Nancy is a sixth-grade student who scores 79. What is her transformed score?
Who scores higher within his or her grade? Nancy or David

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a.) a = -34 and b = 2

b.) a = -91.11 b = 2.22

c.) David scored 124, nancy scored 84.27

David scored higher

Step-by-step explanation:

for those in the 3rd grade

mean u = 67

s = 10

we used the z formula

[tex]z=\frac{x-u}{s}[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{x-67}{10}[/tex]

we have the new score

u = 100

s = 20

we use this formula [tex]z*s+u[/tex]

[tex][\frac{x-67}{10} ]20\\[/tex] + 100

multiply through by 20

[tex][\frac{20x-1340}{10} ] +100[/tex]

dividing the bracket by 10

= [tex]2x-134+100[/tex]

= [tex]2x-34[/tex]

from this solution above,

a = -34 and b = 2

b.)

we solve for those in the 6th grade

u = 86

s = 9

[tex]\frac{x-86}{9}[/tex]

for new score,

y = 100

s = 20

[tex][\frac{x-86}{9} ]20+100[/tex]

[tex]2.22x-191.11+100\\= 2.22x - 91.11[/tex]

from this solution

a = -91.11

b = 2.22

c.) if David scored 79

[tex]= 2(x)-34[/tex]

= 2(79) - 34

= 158 - 34

= 124

if nancy scored 79

= 2.22(79) - 91.11

= 175.38 - 91.11

= 84.27

from these scores we can see that David scored higher in his grade

you spin the spinner once
What is P(5)?

Answers

0-10

A spinner is split into 11 different pieces so you are less likely to land on five than the other numbers.

The probability of getting 5 on spinner is 0.25.

What is the probability?

Probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes of an event.

We know that, probability of an event = Number of favourable outcomes/Total number of outcomes.

Given that, on the spinner there are four numbers {3, 4, 5, 6}.

Number of favorable outcomes = 1

Total number of outcomes = 4

So, P(5) = 1/4

= 0.25

Therefore, the probability of getting 5 on spinner is 0.25.

Calculate the total cost, total depreciation, and annual depreciation for the following assets by using the straight-line method. Cost Shipping Charges Setup Charge Total Cost Salvage Value Estimated Useful Life (years) Depreciation Total Annual
1. $5,600 $210 $54 ______ $600 6
2. $16,900 $310 0 ______ $1900 4

Answers

Answer:

a. For Asset 1, we have:

Total cost = $5,864

Total depreciation = $5,264

Annual depreciation = $877.33

b. For Asset 2, we have:

Total cost = $17,210

Total depreciation = $15,310

Annual depreciation = $3,827.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf for the complete question with the sorted data.

Also note: See the attached excel file for the presentation of the data in the question with the answers (in bold red color).

The explanation of the answers is now given as follow:

Straight line method is a method of calculating depreciation and amortization of an asset by dividing the difference between the total cost and salvage value of an asset by its estimated useful life.

Therefore, wee have:

a. For Asset 1, we have:

Total cost = Cost + Shipping Charges + Setup Charge = $5,600 + $210 + $54 = $5,864

Total depreciation = Total cost - Salvage Value = $5,864.00 = $600 = $5,264

Annual depreciation = Total depreciation / Estimated Useful Life = $5,264 / 6 = $877.33

b. For Asset 2, we have:

Total cost = Cost + Shipping Charges + Setup Charge = $16,900 + $310 + $0 = $17,210

Total depreciation = Total cost - Salvage Value = $17,210 - $1,900 = $15,310

Annual depreciation = Total depreciation / Estimated Useful Life = $15,310 / 4 = $3,827.50

What is the length of AB?

Answers

Answer:

B. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that through angles A and C that this triangle is an isosceles triangle. Knowing that, we can set up the equation 3x=4x-2. We can simplify by adding 2 two both sides. We get the equation 3x+2=4x. Then we subtract 3x from both sides. So therefore, 2=x. Length AB is 3x so we would do 2*3, which is equal to 6. So your answer would be B. 6.

what is the price of a mobile set whose marked priced is Rs.15000 and 13% vAT was levied after allowing 20%discount on it.​

Answers

Answer:

Rs. 18080

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Marked price = Rs. 20000

Discount = 20%

Discounted price = (100-20)% * marked price

Discounted price = 80% * 20,000 = Rs. 16,000

The VAT = 13%

VAT charge = 13% * 16,000 = Rs. 2080

Final price = discounted price + VAT charge

Final price = 16000 + 2080 = Rs. 18080

Volume of soda in soda can

Computation:

Radius of soda can = Diameter of soda can / 2

Radius of soda can = 2.8 / 2

Radius of soda can = 1.4 inches

Volume of soda in soda can = Volume of cylinder

Volume of soda in soda can = πr²h

Find the slope and the y-intercerpt f(x) = 8 -7/8x​

Answers

Answer:

slope = -7/8

y-intercept = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form is

y = mx + b

m is slope

b is y-intercept

------------------------

f(x) = 8 - 7/8x​

Rearrange into slope intercept form

f(x) = -7/8x​ + 8

slope = -7/8

y-intercept = 8

Answer:

Slope = -7/8

Y-intercept = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

f(x) = 8-7/8x​

Given the above, rearrange it in slope-intercept form to help us find the slope and y-intercept:

f(x) = -7/8x​+8

Now, we can see clearly that -7/8 is in place of m and 8 is in place of b. This means that -7/8 is the slope of the line and 8 is the y-intercept.
