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

zalisa [80]

Answer:

What is your question? A plane does need three points so this would make sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

A plane must have three points, otherwise it could be a line (from two points) or a single point (one point).

Y=6x-11<br> -2x-3y=-7 gnjjj
KiRa [710]

Answer:

x=2 y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equations by substituting y=6x-11 into -2x-3y=-7.

-2x-3(6x-11)=-7

-2x-18x+33=-7

-20x+33=-7

-20x=-7-33

-20x=-40

x=2

To find y, substitute this value into the equation and solve for y.

y=6(2)-11

y=12-11

y=1
