Answer:

2.28% probability that a person selected at random will have an IQ of 110 or higher

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 100, \sigma = 5

What is the probability that a person selected at random will have an IQ of 110 or higher?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 110. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{110 - 100}{5}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.0228

2.28% probability that a person selected at random will have an IQ of 110 or higher

PLEASE HELP ME: the ratio of cars to trucks on a highway at any given time is 12 to 8. If there are always more than 105 cars on
andre [41]

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

First, set up the ratio of c:t, which is 12:8. Then set up your new ratio of c:t, which is 105:?. The way I find the easiest is to divide 105 by 12, which is 8.75, then multiply that by 8, which is 70. To check if it's right, just divide 12 by 8, and 105 by 70, and if they're the same number, you've got it right.

Ps. I'm guessing you meant to ask the minimum number of trucks, not cars.

Two jets leave an airport at the same time, flying in opposite directions. The first jet is traveling at three hundred seventy-s
gladu [14]
Here is the set using D = rt.


Jet 1:

rate = 377 mph

time = x

Distance = 9128 miles

Jet 2:

rate = 275 mph

time = x

Distance = 9128 miles

Equation:

377x + 275x = 9128

You finish.
