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

12 days. 60 is a quarter of 240. So, multiply 60 by 4 to get 240.

5/8x - 11/2 = 3/4 <br> what does the x equal ?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8x - 11/2 = 3/4

Multiply each side by 8 to clear the fractions

8(5/8x - 11/2 = 3/4)

5x - 44 = 6

Add 44 to each side

5x-44+4= 6+4

5x= 50

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 50/5

x =10
