some psychologists believe that a genius should be defined as anyone having an IQ over 140. If IQ scores are normally distribute

Answer:

61,239,550

Step-by-step explanation:

We let the random variable X denote the IQ scores. This would imply that X is normal with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 17. We proceed to determine the probability that an individual chosen at random from the population would be a genius, that is;

Pr( X>140)

The next step is to evaluate the z-score associated with the IQ score of 140 by standardizing the random variable X;

Pr(X>140)=Pr(Z>\frac{140-100}{17})=Pr(Z>2.3529)

The area to the right of 2.3529 will be the required probability. This area from the standard normal tables is 0.009314

From a population of 6,575,000,000 the number of geniuses would be;

6,575,000,000*0.009314 = 61,239,550

Answer:

61,805,000

Step-by-step explanation:

lets assume, no of geniuses = X

P(X > 140) = P(z > (140 - 100)/17)

                = P(z > 40/17) ⇒ P(z > 2.352)

1 - P(z < 2.352) = 1 - 0.9906 ⇒ 0.0094

The number of geniuses in the world today are:

0.0094 x 6,575,000,000 = 61,805,000

I need help plsssssssssssssssssssssss
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

7x + 34 = 90

-34          -34

7x = 56

Divide by 7 on both sides:

X = 8 degrees

A right angle equals 90 degrees so that must mean angle 7x + 34 must equal to 90 so we solve for x.

A triangle equals = 180 degrees

A quadrilateral equals = 360 degrees

A right angle equals = 90 degrees

A straight line equals = 180 degrees

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

x ≥ 88

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to have at least an average of 80 after 4 tests, the sum of her scores must be at least 80 * 4 = 320 so we can write the following inequality:

71 + 78 + 83 + x ≥ 320

232 + x ≥ 320

x ≥ 88
