Last week Sarah had exams in math and in Spanish. On the math exam, the mean was µ = 40 with σ = 5, and Sarah had a score of X = 45. On the Spanish exam, the mean was µ = 60 with σ = 8, and Sarah had a score of X = 68. For which class should Sara expect the better grade?

The grades should be the same because the two z scores are same

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Math

Mean, μ = 40

Standard Deviation, σ = 5

Math's score = 45

Formula:

Putting values, we get

Spanish

Mean, μ = 60

Standard Deviation, σ = 8

Spanish's score = 68

Formula:

Putting values, we get

Thus, both have the same z-score, we can say that, the grades should be the same because the two scores are in the same location and have the same z-score.

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:

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
