some psychologists believe that a genius should be defined as anyone having an IQ over 140. If IQ scores are normally distribute
denis23 [38]

Answer:

61,239,550

Step-by-step explanation:

We let the random variable X denote the IQ scores. This would imply that X is normal with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 17. We proceed to determine the probability that an individual chosen at random from the population would be a genius, that is;

Pr( X>140)

The next step is to evaluate the z-score associated with the IQ score of 140 by standardizing the random variable X;

Pr(X>140)=Pr(Z>\frac{140-100}{17})=Pr(Z>2.3529)

The area to the right of 2.3529 will be the required probability. This area from the standard normal tables is 0.009314

From a population of 6,575,000,000 the number of geniuses would be;

6,575,000,000*0.009314 = 61,239,550

Find the least common denominator for these two rational expressions 7/n^2 -8/7n
lianna [129]

Answer:

7n²

Step-by-step explanation:

7/n² - 8/7n

Least common multiple will be the least common denominator

L.C.M = 7n²

Dividing the L.C.M by denominators and multiplying with numerators;

((7×7) - (n×8))/7n²

= (49 - 8n)/7n²

7n² is the least common denominator

25% chose football which is 100 students

30% chose swimming

setup proportion:

25/100 = 30/x

25x = 100(30)

25x = 3000

x  = 120
