Suppose that the distribution of IQ's of North Catalina State University's students can be approximated by a normal model with m

ean 130 and standard deviation 8 points. Also suppose that the distribution of IQ's of Chapel Mountain University's students can be approximated by a normal model with mean 120 and standard deviation 10 points. Question 1. You select a student at random from each school. Determine the probability that the North Catalina State University student's IQ is at least 5 points higher than the Chapel Mountain University student's IQ.

Answer:

The required probability is 0.6517

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

North Catalina State University's students can be approximated by a normal model with mean 130 and standard deviation 8 points.

μ₁ = 130 and σ₁ = 8

Chapel Mountain University's students can be approximated by a normal model with mean 120 and standard deviation 10 points.

μ₂ = 120 and σ₂ = 10

As both schools have IQ scores which is normally distributed, distribution of this difference will also be normal with a mean of μ₁-μ₂ and standard deviation will be \sqrt{\sigma_1^2+\sigma_2^2}

Therefore,

μ = 130-120=10

\sigma = \sqrt{8^2+10^2}=12.806

Now determine the probability of North Catalina State University student's IQ is at least 5 points higher than the Chapel Mountain University student's IQ:

z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sigma}

z=\frac{5-10}{12.806}\approx-0.39

Now by using the z table we find the z- score of -0.39 is 0.6517.

Hence, the required probability is 0.6517

1. What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 3.4 cm? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. (use 3.14 for pi)
Brilliant_brown [7]
1. The area of a circle is
a = \pi {r}^{2}
\pi = 3.14 \\ r =  \frac{3.4}{2}  = 1.7
a = (3.14) {(1.7)}^{2}  \\  = 9.0746
The area is 9.07 cm^2.

2. The volume of a cube is
v =  {s}^{3}
s = 4.5
v =  {(4.5)}^{3}  \\  = 91.125
The volume is 91.125 m^3

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

surface area=area of sides +area of top and bottom

=2(4+5)×8+2×(4×5)

=2[(9×8)+20]

=2[72+20]

=2×92

=184 m²
