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

Express the following quantities as ordinary decimal numbers: (step by step please)
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

a. 0.0000009 m

b. 6,130, 000, 000

c. 100,000 light years

d. 0.00001 mm

e. 0.0000010 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to come from the standard form to the decimal form

In doing this, we consider the power of 10 attached

If negative, we count leftwards, if positive, we count right-wards

The number of times we count is the power of 10 attached. The count means we are moving the decimal point

For numbers with out visible decimal point, it is at the back of the most right-ward number

Thus, we have these as;

a. 9 * 10^-7

= 0.0000009 m

b. 6.130 * 10^9

= 6,130, 000, 000

c. 1 * 10^5

= 100,000 light years

d. 1 * 10^-5 mm

= 0.00001 mm

e. 10^-7

= 0.0000010 kg

4 students is 20% of 20 students because 20%*5=100% so 4*5 (which is 20) is 100% of the original number.

Hope this helps :)
