Dwayne improved his score on Commander Quest from 65,720 to 88,722. By what percent
did his score increase?

35%

Step-by-step explanation:

What was the numerical difference?

88722 - 65720 = 23002

Which number is the denominator for the % increase?

It must be 65720.

23002/ 65720  * 100 = 35%

So if we take 35% of 65720 and add it on  to 65720 what do we get.

35/100 * 65720 + 65720 = 88722 just as we should.

804.75

step-by-step explanation:

irst, find the z score of a score of 80. this is given by the formula z = (x-u)/o, where x is the score, u is the mean, and o is the standard deviation. this gives

z = (80-78)/12 = 1/6 = .1667

now, find what percentile a z score of 1/6 correlates to in the normal distribution.

a z score of 1/6 = .1667 is equivalent to the 56.36th percentile of the distribution. so the probability a score is over this is 1-.5636 = .4364

the mean of a sample mean is equal to the original mean. however, the standard deviation of a sample mean is equal to the original standard deviation divided by the square root of n (sample size). so the new standard deviation is 12/sqrt(16) = 3.

the new z score is 80-78/3 = 2/3 = .667. this is equivalent to the 74.86th percentile. so the probability that the mean will be greater than this score is 1-.7486 = .2514.
