Answer: $180

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to analize the information provided. We know that $480 is two-thirds $(\frac{2}{3})$ of Sam's weekly income.

Then, let me "x" one-fourth ( $\frac{1}{4}$ ) of Sam's weekly income. Based on the information, we can write the following expression:

$x=\frac{(\frac{1}{4})(\$480)}{\frac{2}{3} }\\\\x=\$180$

Answer:

Part 1) The length of two sides and the measure of the included angle (Side-Angle-Side)

Part 2) $b^2=a^2+c^2-2(a)(c)cos(B)$

Part 3) $b=11.6\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

In the triangle ABC

$a=11\ in\\c=9\ in\\B=70^o$

Part 1) Which information about the triangle is given?

In this problem we have the length of two sides and the measure of the included angle (Side-Angle-Side)

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Part 2) Which formula can you use ti find b?

I can use the law of cosines

$b^2=a^2+c^2-2(a)(c)cos(B)$

we have

$a=11\ in\\c=9\ in\\B=70^o$

substitute the given values

$b^2=11^2+9^2-2(11)(9)cos(70^o)$

$b^2=202-67.72$

$b=11.59\ in$

Part 3) What is b, rounded to the nearest tenth?

Remember that

To Round a number

a) Decide which is the last digit to keep

b) Leave it the same if the next digit is less than $5$ (this is called rounding down)

c) But increase it by $1$ if the next digit is $5$ or more (this is called rounding up)

In this problem we have

$11.59\ in$

We want to keep the digit $5$

The next digit is $9$ which is 5 or more, so increase the "5" by 1 to "6"

therefore

$b=11.6\ in$

Many states assess skills of their students in various grades. One program that is available for this purpose is the NAEP. One o

Hoochie [10]

Solution :

Given :

National mean score of the reading test that is conducted the NAEP = 288

Standard deviation of the score = 38

Therefore, P(X > x) = 0.25

P (Z > $\frac{x-288}{38}$ = 0.674)

$\frac{x-288}{38} = 0.674$

$x=288+(38 \times 0.674)$

x = 326.67

Therefore, the highest score that is needed for the students to be in the top of 25 percent among the students those who take the exam.
