Answer: The person must score an IQ score of 139 to qualify.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the IQ scores are normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = scores on the test.

µ = mean score

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 115

σ = 17

The probability value for the upper 8% of the population would be (1 - 8/100) = (1 - 0.08) = 0.92

Looking at the normal distribution table, the z score corresponding to the probability value is 1.41

Therefore,

1.41 = (x - 115)/17

Cross multiplying by 17, it becomes

1.41 × 17 = x - 115

23.97 = x - 115

x = 23.97 + 115

x = 139 to the nearest whole number

Answer:

A person must get an IQ score of at least 138.885 to qualify.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 115, \sigma = 17

(a). [7pts] What IQ score must a person get to qualify

Top 8%, so at least the 100-8 = 92th percentile.

Scores of X and higher, in which X is found when Z has a pvalue of 0.92. So X when Z = 1.405.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.405 = \frac{X - 115}{17}

X - 115 = 17*1.405

X = 138.885

A person must get an IQ score of at least 138.885 to qualify.

ycow [4]

Input Data :

Point 1 ( x A , y A )  = (-6, -2)

Point 2 ( x B , y B )  = (1, -6)

Objective :

Find the distance between two given points on a line.

Formula :

Distance between two points =  √ ( x B − x A )2 + ( y B − y A ) 2

Solution :

Distance between two points =  √ ( 1 - -6 ) 2 + ( − 6 − − 2 ) 2

=  √ 7 2 + ( − 4 ) 2

=  √ 49 + 16

= √ 65  = 8.0623

Distance between points (-6, -2) and (1, -6) is 8.0623

Or 8.

Best of luck!!

Angle HIF are 90° when we bisectors YI 90-34

Therfore y = 56°

FGI are a triangle sum of it is 180 = 90+56

146 - 180

X= 34
