Eleanor scores 680 on the mathematics part of the SAT. The distribution of SAT math scores in recent years has been Normal with mean 527 and standard deviation 118. Gerald takes the ACT Assessment mathematics test and scores 27. ACT math scores are Normally distributed with mean 20 and standard deviation 3.
1. What is Elanor's standardized score?
Round to 2 decimal places.
3. What is Gerald's standardized score?
Round to 2 decimal places.
4. Assuming that both tests measure the same kind of ability, who has the higher score?
i. Gerald.
ii. Elanor.
iii. They both did equally well.

1. Elanor's standardized score is  1.19

2. Gerald's standardized score is 0.72

3. Elanor has higher score.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare Elanor's and Gerald's math scores, we need to standardize them and calculate their z-scores.

z score can be calculated using the formula

z=X-M over 8 where

X is the student's score

M is the mean score of the exam

s is the standard deviation of the exam

Elanor's standardized score is:

z(e) =680-554 over 106 ≈ 1.19

Gerald's standardized score is:

z(g)= 27 - 24.7 over 3.2 ≈ 0.72

Since z(e) > z(g), Elanor has higher score

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
