Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding it, so this is basically just negative 8 plus 6, which is -2. Don't know who was right though, you kinda left that part of the question out.

35% of a number is 17. Work out the number.

Ksivusya [100]

Well first you would set up your ratio, 17/x = 35/100. You are trying to find x. To do so you cross multiply and divide. So first you have 17× 100 which equals 1700. The you divide that number by 35 which is around 48 like you said. I usually just round to the hundredths place so just cut it at 48.57 but to be safe say approximately 48.57

The probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ less than

135 is 0.97725

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of mu equals μ = 105 and a standard deviation sigma equals σ = 15

We need to find the probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ less than 135

For the probability that X < b;

Convert b into a z-score using z = (X - μ)/σ, where μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation
Use the normal distribution table of z to find the area to the left of the z-value ⇒ P(X < b)

∵ z = (X - μ)/σ

∵ μ = 105 , σ = 15 and X = 135

∴ $z=\frac{135-105}{15}=2$
