Joey received a report that he scored in the 98th percentile on a national standarized reading test but in the 78th percentile on the math portion of the test. explain to joey's grandmother, who knows no statistics, what these numbers mean. answers: a. joey scored worse than 2% of all students who took the reading test and he scored as well as or better than 78% of all students who took the math test. b. joey scored worse than 98% of all students who took the reading test and he scored as well as or better than 22% of all students who took the math test. c. joey scored worse than 2% of all students who took the reading test and he scored as well as or better than 22% of all students who took the math test. d. joey scored worse than 98% of all students who took the reading test and he scored as well as or better than 78% of all students who took the math test.

A given score in a given percentile means that percentage of scores was below the given score. The appropriate choice is ...

... A. Joey scored worse than 2% of all students who took the reading test and he scored as well as or better than 78% of all students who took the math test

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
