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

Mrs. Bonse bought a box of erasers. The box had 5 different shapes of erasers. There were 8 of each shape of eraser in the box.
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Gail is correct and Brianne is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 5 different shaped erasers and 8 of each, you would have to multiply 5x8 which equals 40. If there are 4 people in the group, 40 divided by 10 equals 4.

brian is 6 feet tall and cast a 4 foot shadow. At the same time, a nearby flag pole cast a 20 foot shadow. How tall is the flag
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Brian Height = 6 feet

Brian Shadow Height = 4 foot

Flag Shadow Height = 20 foot

Flag Height = Unknown ??

So we can use cross multiplication

6/4 = x/20

6×20/4 = x

6×20 =120

120÷4 = 30

So x= 30, which is the Flag Height

I wish that I helped you with this.

Which measure of central tendency is more representative of the typical observation if the graph of the data is skewed to the ri
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Median

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of central tendency is used to represent an entire group of data with a common single  number. There are three types of measure of central tendency, the mean , the median and the mode. Our focus here is on the median because in any skewed dataset, The median is the best form for a skewed type of distribution. The median is the middle number in an ordered set of data.

In a skewed type of distribution, the mode is the highest  point of the distribution. In the measure of central tendency, the mean is mostly influenced by the outliers and it is pulled towards  to the tail region of the distribution.
