b. 5
c. 3
d. 8
e. 10
f. 1

Answer:

P(Z>3) = 1-P(Z

So then the probability that an individual present and IQ higher than 3 deviation from the mean is 0.00135

And if we find the number of individuals that can be considered as genius we got: 0.00135*1500=2.025

And we can say that the answer is a.2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

2) Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the IQ scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(\mu=?,\sigma=?)  

We are interested on this probability

P(X>X+3\mu)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

And we can find the following probablity:

P(Z>3) = 1-P(Z

So then the probability that an individual present and IQ higher than 3 deviation from the mean is 0.00135

And if we find the number of individuals that can be considered as genius we got: 0.00135*1500=2.025

And we can say that the answer is a/2.0

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

140/130 > 104%

Step-by-step explanation:

When you convert 140/130 to a decimal, you get 1.07 which is 107%. 107% is greater than 104%, so 140/130 is > 104%

I know the answer is no solution but I don't know how to get it☹️ plz help!
Crank
When a linear equation is in the form y = mx + c, the c, or constant, is the intercept on the y axis, meaning it crosses the y axis at (0, 1).

The gradient (1/3 in this case) is how much the y increments (or decrements) per increase of 1 of the value of x.

This would mean that there would be one point at (0, 1), and another at (3, 2). Draw a line from these two points and beyond, and that is the graph sketched.

Can someone answer this I’ll give brainliest
Mrac [35]

Answer:

7/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrange the numbers so that the number of girls in year 10 is the numerator, and the total number of girls is the denominator. (140/260) Simplify this by dividing both numbers by 20.

83 percent. 

Simply do 11-6, which is 5; then do 5/6, and multiply by 100 to get the percent. That equals out to be 83.3333 percent. Or 83 percent when rounding.
