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

If nCk represents the number of ways k parts can be chosen from a pool of n, the probability of interest is the complement of the probability of selecting all good parts.
  1 - (167C3)/(170C3) = 42,085/804,440 ≈ 0.0523

_____
nCk = n!/(k!(n-k)!)

Solve for m: 18d − 2m + 9k &lt; 5k + 10
snow_tiger [21]

18d-2m+9k < 5k+10

18d-2m < -4k +10

-2m < -4k +10 -18d

m  > \frac{-4k+10-18d}{-2} (flipped the sign because we're dividing by a negative)

m  > 2k+5+9d
