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

Can -2y = -6 be written in slope-intercept form? If so, what is it?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

y=3 or y-3=0

Step-by-step explanation:

-2y=-6

-2y÷(-2)=-6÷(-2)

y=-6÷(-2)

y=-6÷2

y=3

or

-2y=-6

-2y+6=0

-y+3=0

y-3=0

Y=4x−9<br> Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

<h2>The missing value is 3, and the coordinates are (3,3).</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

y=4x-9

Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation. (3, ? )

By given, we know that x=3, because coordinates are written like (x,y).

Then, we replace the given coordinate to find y.

y=4x-9\\y=4(3)-9\\y=12-9\\y=3

Therefore, the missing value is 3, and the coordinates are (3,3).

The volume of 10 drops of a liquid is 0.01 fluid ounces.<br> What is the volume of 10,000 drops ?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:The answer is 10 fluid ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

1000 divided by 10 = 100 so if you multiply 0.1 by 100 you get 10. So therefore, 1,000 drops is equal to 10 fluid ounces

Compare the dotplot to a histogram of the data. (Select all that apply.)
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

(B) The raw data can be retrieved from the dot plot, but not the histogram.

(C) Dot plots show the frequency of individual data values.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two correct answers:

(B) The raw data can be retrieved from the dot plot, but not the histogram.

(C) Dot plots show the frequency of individual data values.

Dot plots are used for small data sets where values fall into a number of categories, unlike histograms.
