At a photography contest, entries are scored on a scale from 1 to 100. At a recent contest with 1,000 entries, a score of 68 was at the 77th percentile of the distribution of all the scores. Which of the following is the best description of the 77th percentile of the distribution?
a. There were 77% of the entries with a score less than 68.
b. There were 77% of the entries with a score greater than 68.
c. There were 77% of the entries with a score equal to 68.
d. There were 77 entries with a score less than 68.

Answers

Answer 1

There were 77% of the entries with a score less than 68. Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Given that, at a recent contest with 1,000 entries, a score of 68 was at the 77th percentile of the distribution of all the scores.

A score X being in the xth percent of a distribution means that x% of the scores are below X and 100 – x% of the scores are above X.

In this question, we have that:

A score of 68 is in the 77th percentile of the distribution.

This means that 77% of the scores are below 68, and 100 – 77 = 23% of the scores are above 68.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Triangle A has 3 sides, each labeled 9 kilometers.
Triangle B's base is labeled 15 kilometers. Its other 2 sides are each labeled 8 kilometers.
The perimeter of Triangle A is equal to the perimeter of Triangle B. The perimeter of Triangle A is 3 kilometers less than the perimeter of Triangle B. The perimeter of Triangle A is 4 kilometers less than the perimeter of Triangle B. The perimeter of Triangle A is 9 kilometers less than the perimeter of Triangle B.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the common ratio / or scale factor

the sides of the triangle are

5x, 12x and 13x

sum of the sides defines perimeter

that is

5x + 12x + 13x = 15

30x = 15

x = 15/30

x = 0.5

The sides of the triangle are 0.5(5) = 2.5

0.5(12)=6

0.5(13) = 6.5

2.5, 6, 6.5 all in inches

f(x) = 3r2 + 12x + 5
What is the value of the discriminant of f?
D
How many distinct real number zeros does
f(x) have?

Answers

Answer:

The value of the discriminant is 84.

i.e. b²- 4ac =  84

As

b²- 4ac > 0

Therefore, there are two distinct real number zeros.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the discriminant of the quadratic equation ax²+bx+c=0 is equal to b²- 4ac.

We also know that:

When b²- 4ac = 0 there is one real root.When b²- 4ac > 0 there are two real roots.When b²- 4ac < 0 there are two complex roots.

We are given

f(x) = 3x² + 12x + 5

comparing with the quadratic function ax²+bx+c=0

a = 3, b = 12, c = 5

Discriminant = b²- 4ac

                     = (12)²-4(3)(5)    ∵ a = 3, b = 12, c = 5

                     = 144 - 60

                     = 84

Thus, the value of the discriminant is:  84

As

b²- 4ac > 0

Therefore, there are two distinct real number zeros.

If 3x + 7y = 12 and x-y= 1, then what is the value of 5x + 5y?

Answers

Answer:

14.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 7y = 12

x - y = 1           Multiply this by -3:

-3x + 3y = -3     Add this to equation 1:

0 + 10y = 9

so y = 9/10 = 0.9.

x - 0.9 = 1

x = 1.9.

So 5x + 5y = 5*1.9 + 5*0.9

= 14.

Q5. Asif is 5 years younger than Qasim. Four years later, Qasim will be twice as old as
Asif. Find their present ages.

Answers

Answer:

Age of Qasim =  6 year

Age of Asif = 1 year

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Age of Qasim = x

Age of Asif = x -5

After 4 years there age will be:

Age of Qasim = x+4

Age of Asif = x-5+4 = x-1

We are given: Four years later, Qasim will be twice as old as  Asif.

Age of Qasim = 2 (Age of Asif)

x+4=2(x-1)

x+4=2x-2

2x-x=4+2

x=6

So, We get x = 6

The present ages will be:

Age of Qasim = x = 6 year

Age of Asif = x -5 = 6-5 = 1 year

Answer:

The mass of an average grain of rock salt is 1.2 x 10^-2. In part A, you multiplied 10^-2 by 10^-2 to get 10^-4. So, multiply the first factor, 1.2 , by 10^2, or 100.

The first factor will then be 1.2 x 100 = 120.
