Answer:
A) 99.7% of people have an IQ between 64 and 136.
B) 5% of people have an IQ score less than 76 or greater than 124.
C) 16% of people have an IQ score greater than 112.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule tells us that, in a normal or 'bell-shaped' distribution, 68% of the data is one standard deviation from the mean, 95% of the data is two standard deviations from the mean, and 99.7% of the data is three standard deviations from the mean.
A) 64 and 136 are 3 standard deviations away from the mean, so 99.7% of people have an IQ between 64 and 136.
B) 76 and 124 are 2 standard devations away from the mean, but the answer is asking what percentage is not between them. 100% - 95% gives us 5%.
C) 112 is one standard deviation away from the mean. If we want to find the percentage greater, then we can do 100% - 50% (as 112 is to the left of the mean), then we can take half of 68 to get 34%, and after subtracting 50% and 34% from the 100%, we get 16%.

Answer:
x = 1 or 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The notion of "cross-multiplying" is the idea that the numerator on the left is multiplied by the denominator on the right, and the numerator on the right is multiplied by the denominator on the left. This looks like ...

Then the solution proceeds by eliminating parentheses, and solving the resulting quadratic equation.

<em>Comment on "cross multiply"</em>
Like a lot of instructions in Algebra courses, the idea of "cross multiply" describes <em>what the result looks like</em>. It doesn't adequately describe how you get there. The <em>one and only rule</em> in solving Algebra problems is "<em>whatever is done to one side of the equation must also be done to the other side of the equation</em>." If you multiply one side by one thing and the other side by a different thing, you are violating this rule.
What looks like "cross multiply" is really "<em>multiply by the product of the denominators</em> and cancel like terms from numerator and denominator." Here's what that looks like with the intermediate steps added.

Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
8.x-13=3+4.x
8.x-13=7.x
x-13+8=7.x
x-5=7.x
x-x=7+5
x-x=12
x=12
