Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that:
a) The 90th percentile for an individual teacher's salary is $50,216.
b) The 90th percentile for the average teacher's salary is $43,914.
In a normal distribution 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]
It 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, which is the percentile of X.By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation given by [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].In this problem:
Mean of $41,000, thus [tex]\mu = 41000[/tex].Standard deviation of $7,200, thus [tex]\sigma = 7200[/tex].Item a:
The 90th percentile is X when Z has a p-value of 0.9, so X when Z = 1.28. Thus:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]1.28 = \frac{X - 41000}{7200}[/tex]
[tex]X - 41000 = 1.28(7200)[/tex]
[tex]X = 50216[/tex]
The 90th percentile for an individual teacher's salary is $50,216.
Item b:
Average for a sample of 10, thus [tex]n = 10, s = \frac{7200}{\sqrt{10}}[/tex].
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]1.28 = \frac{X - 41000}{\frac{7200}{\sqrt{10}}}[/tex]
[tex]X - 41000 = 1.28\frac{7200}{\sqrt{10}}[/tex]
[tex]X = 43914[/tex]
The 90th percentile for the average teacher's salary is $43,914.

I am thinking of two numbers.
Sum of these two numbers
is 58, and the difference of these two numbers are b.
What are the two numbers?
What is the answer to this problem?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let one number=x
Therefore the othernumber=x+b
Since,
x+x+b=58
==>2x+b=58
==>2x=58-b
==>x=(58-b)/2
Therefore the other number is (58-b)/2 + b

Evaluate each function for the given input values. For f (x)=2/3x+ 3, find f (x) when x= 9 and when x=-3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 2/3 x + 3
x = 9
f(9) = 2/3 * 9 + 3 Divide 9 by 3
f(9) = 2 * 3 + 3 Combine 2 * 3
f(9) = 6 + 3 Combine
f(9) = 9 The answer is just a coincidence. The answer for the next one shouldn't be - 3
f(-3) = 2/3 *(-3) + 3 Divide 3 into - 3
f(-3) = 2*(-1) + 3
f(-3) = -2 + 3
f(-3) = 1

You should observe that whatever value you see on the left in the brackets, appears where the x is on the right. This is a very important concept. You should do your best to understand it because algebra is sort of based on it.
In preparation for her math test on Thursday, Emerson studied 1/2 hour on Monday, 1 1/16 hours on Tuesday, and 3/8 hour on Wednesday. What is the total amount of time that Emerson spent studying for her test? (Simplify your answer and state it as a mixed number.)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 + 1 1/16 + 3/8 = ?
Least common denominator is 16
8/16 + 17/16 + 6/16 = 31/16 = 1 15/16 hours
A street sign is in the shape of an isosceles triangle that has a base of 6.5 inches bigger than either of the equal sides. If the perimeter of the triangle is 65 inches, what is the length of the equal sides?
Answer:
19.5
Step-by-step explanation:
side is 6.5 bigger, so minus the 6.5 from the total perimeter of 65 and divide by 3.
65- 6.5 = 58.5
58.5 ÷ 3 = 19.5
equal sides are 19.5
longer side is 19.5 + 6.5
Answer:
19.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
You can interpret this problem as x + x + (x + 6.5)=65, with x being the length of the equal sides.
Simplified, this equation becomes 3x+6.5=65.
Solving, this becomes 3x+6.5-6.5=65-6.5 which comes out as 3x=58.5. Next, we divide this equation by 3 on both sides, which then comes out to x=19.5. Therefore, the length of equal sides are 19.5.
Check: There are two equal sides, so 19.5+19.5. Since the base is 6.5 inches bigger than either of the equal sides, the base is equal to 19.5+6.5=26. Adding these values all together comes out to 19.5+19.5+26=65.

Snoopy the dog is on a 25-ft long chain that is attached to the back of a barn (see the
picture below). If the chain does not allow him to go past either of the adjacent sides
of the barn, how much space does Snoopy have to roam?
Use pi = 3.14 and round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
A = 981.3 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we're calculating the area of a semicircle of radius 25 ft.
The area of a circle is A = (pi)(r)^2, and that of a semicircle of the same radius is A = (1/2)(pi)(r)^2.
Here pi = 3.14 and r = 25 ft, and so the area/space in question is
A = (1/2)(3.14)(25)^2
A = 981.3 ft^2
The space does Snoopy have to roam is 490.625 square feet.
Given that, Snoopy the dog is on a 25-ft long chain that is attached to the back of a barn.
What is the area of a sector?The area of a sector is the space inside the section of the circle created by two radii and an arc. It is a fraction of the area of the entire circle.
The formula for the area of the sector of a circle is /360° (r²) where r is the radius of the circle and is the angle of the sector.
From the attached image, we see that snoopy is at the edge of a circle with the garage taking up a quarter of that circle.
Now, the area of space Snoopy was roaming
= 90°/360° × (3.14 × 25²)
= 1/4 × (3.14 × 625)
= 0.25 × 1,962.5
= 490.625 square feet
Therefore, the space does Snoopy have to roam is 490.625 square feet.

The path of a skateboarder can be modeled by the equation (x – 3)2 = –4(y – 9), where distance is in feet and air resistance is insignificant. If the skateboarder makes a jump from a ramp at x = 0, what is her maximum height and how far is she horizontally from the end of the ramp when she lands?
Answer:
The correct answer would be: "Maximum height 9 feet; horizontal distance 9 feet".
Step-by-step explanation:
I know this not only because I already took the test, BUT by graphing the equation (you can use graphing apps) it'll give you the answer.
Her maximum height is 9 feet & she is horizontally 9 feet from the end of the ramp when she lands.
What is skateboarders maximum height ?
The path of the skateboarder can be modelled by the equation,
(x-3)² = -4(y-9)
Now, from the equation, solving y,
(x-3)² = -4(y-9)
⇒ y-9 = -[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex](x-3)²
⇒ y = -[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex](x-3)² + 9
∴ Maximum height is 9 feet.
How far is she horizontally from end of ramp ?We have to take y = 0,
Now, -[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex](x-3)² + 9 = 0
⇒ -(x²-6x+9)+36 = 0
⇒ -x²+6x-9+36 = 0
⇒ x²-6x-27 = 0
⇒ x²-9x+3x-27 = 0
⇒ (x-9)(x+3) = 0
⇒ x = 9 or x = -3
Neglecting the negative value we get, x = 9
So, Her horizontal distance from end of the ramp is 9 feet.

Answer:
x = (y +2)/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The flowchart is trying to help you see that you "undo" what is done to x, in reverse order.
x is first multiplied by 3, then -2 is added.
First, we want to undo the addition of -2, so we add the opposite of that to y:
y = 3x -2 ⇒ y +2 = 3x
Then we want to undo the multiplication by 3, so we divide by 3:
y +2 = 3x ⇒ (y +2)/3 = x
The solution for x is ...
x = (y +2)/3

In your diagram, each box has the inverse operation of the one in the box above it. The inverse of subtracting 2 is adding 2. The inverse of multiplying by 3 is dividing by 3. The arrows connecting the boxes are intended to show you that these inverse operations occur in the reverse order of the original operations, as we described above.
