There are infinitely many solutions to this problem (which is why it asks what could those numbers be), so you just have to make one up!

Start with the first sentence.
x + y + z = 6.0

Now one of those numbers has to be less than 1. I'll choose x. And I'll choose a random number, say, 0.7.

0.7 + y + z = 6.0

Now I'll subtract 0.7 from both sides to see what y and z have to add up to.

0.7 + y + z - 0.7 = 6.0 - 0.7
y + z = 5.3

Now I'll choose a random number for y that's less than 5.3.

2.6 + z = 5.3

And subtract 2.6 from both sides to find z.

2.6 + z - 2.6 = 5.3 - 2.6
z = 2.7

And now we have our numbers!
x = <u>0.7</u>
y = <u>2.6</u>
z = <u>2.7</u>

An organization has members who possess IQs in the top 4% of the population. If IQs are normally distributed, with a mean of 100
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The minimum IQ score will be "126".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Mean

\mu = 100

Standard deviation

\sigma=15

Now,

⇒ P(z>x)=4 \ percent \ i.e., 0.04

⇒ P(z>\frac{x- \mu}{\sigma} )=0.04

⇒ 1-P(z \leq \frac{x-100}{15})=0.04

⇒ \frac{x-100}{15}=z0.96

            =NORMDIS(z=0.96)

            =1.751

⇒ x=100+15\times 1.751

      =126.265 \ i.e., 126

PLS HELP ME GUYS ITS MY LAST QUESTION IN GEOMETRY
aliina [53]

Answer:

Example = ( 12, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many possible solutions to this equation, and all you would have to do to determine the ordered pair, is satisfy the following criteria -

x - 6y = 6,\\- 6y = - x + 6,\\y = 1 / 6x - 1

Take a look at a graph of the line y = 1 / 6x - 1. Any ordered pair that lies on this line is a solution to the equation. The " criteria " is that the ordered pair must lie on this line. Let me give you an example, ( 12, 1 ).

<u><em>Hope that helps!</em></u>
