A humanities professor assigns letter grades on a test according to the following scheme. A: Top 12% of scores B: Scores below the top 12% and above the bottom 61% C: Scores below the top 39% and above the bottom 21% D: Scores below the top 79% and above the bottom 6% F: Bottom 6% of scores Scores on the test are normally distributed with a mean of 67.7 and a standard deviation of 7.8. Find the minimum score required for an A grade. Round your answer to the nearest whole number, if necessary.

The minimum score required for an A grade is 77.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

Find the minimum score required for an A grade.

Top 12% of scores get an A.

100-12 = 88th percentile.

The 88th percentile of scores is the minimum required for an A grade. This score is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.88. So X when Z = 1.175.

Rounding to the nearest whole number:

The minimum score required for an A grade is 77.

well what you have to do is divide 84 by 6 so theanswer

step-by-step explanation:

84 divided by 6 = 14

and that lightbulb changing party must be freaking lit!

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
