Using the Empirical Rule, it is found that the proportion of people in a population with IQ scores between 80 and 140 is of 0.95 = 95%.

<h3>What does the Empirical Rule state?</h3>

It states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

  • Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
  • Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of  the mean.
  • Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Considering the mean of 110 and the standard deviation of 15, we have that:

  • 80 = 110 - 2 x 15.
  • 140 = 110 + 2 x 15.

These values are both the most extreme within 2 standard deviations of the mean, hence the proportion of people in a population with IQ scores between 80 and 140 is of 0.95 = 95%.

What is the value of m in the equation <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="\frac{1}
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The value of m is 44

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given:

1/2 m - 3/4 n = 16

Put the value of n in the given equation

1/2m - 3/4(8)=16

Now 4 and 8 will be canceled out by the table of 4

1/2 m - 3(2)=16

1/2m - 6 = 16

Now take the L.C.M of the denominator and solve for numerator:

m-2(6)/2 = 16

m-12/2 = 16

m-12 = 16*2

m-12 = 32

Add 12 at both sides:

m-12+12 = 32+12

m= 32+12

m=44

The value of m is 44....
