93Answer:

C. An IQ score of 80 is more unusual than an IQ score of 120

is the false answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly we need to find the probability of the test score to be less than 90(P<90) then we will continue finding the probability of the IQ score to be between 90 and 110(90<P<110) then we find the probability of the IQ score being more than 110 (P>110).

For P<90

Firstly we compute this using a scientific calculator where we choose the stat option and enter the mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 10, so we check if we make the normal random variable(X) to be 90 the outcome or answer for that is 0.16 so now we know the probability of the IQ score to be less than 90 is 16% chances.

For 90<P<110

then we check with the same method what will be the probability for an IQ score to be between 90 and 110 for a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 10 we again check a normal random variable(X) of 110 to see what will be the probability of P<110 which we find an answer of 0.84 which is 84% chances so now therefore the probability of an IQ score to be more than 110 is 0.

therefore this tells us an IQ score of 120 is more unusual than an IQ score of 120.

What is 100 x 0.95=_____

kifflom [539]

Answer: 95

Step-by-step explanation:

That’s the same as 0.95 of 100. That’s because 0.95 represents 0.95 and 100 represents 100, the of is the same as x. You can switch the two numbers and you can still get the same answer. So, 0.95 of 100 is 95.

Make a table for the following equations<br> y = 2x + 4

nekit [7.7K]

In order to make a table, we sample some x values (whichever we want), and we compute the expression for those value. Each x value will yield a unique y value.

If you need this table to graph the function, you'll only need two points, since this is a line, and having two points you just need to connect them.

Here are some samples, feel free to make more if you need to:

$f(x)=2x+4\implies f(0)=2\cdot 0 + 4 = 4$

$f(x)=2x+4\implies f(1)=2\cdot 1 + 4 = 6$

$f(x)=2x+4\implies f(2)=2\cdot 2 + 4 = 8$

$f(x)=2x+4\implies f(3)=2\cdot 3 + 4 = 10$

$f(x)=2x+4\implies f(4)=2\cdot 4 + 4 = 12$

So, we have the following table

$\begin{array}{c|c}0&4\\1&6\\2&8\\3&10\\4&12\end{array}$

A circle has a circumference of 450cm

anzhelika [568]

The circumference of the circle is actually the perimeter ( length of the boundary ) of the circle . And a part of the circle which lies between two distinct points on the circumference of the circle is called an arc . If the length of the arc is less than half the circumference , it is called minor arc and remaining portion which is more than half of the circle ( but natural ) is called major arc .

When these two points , which make the arc are joined separately to the centre of circle , these arms make angle at the centre . This is called the angle subtended by the arc at the centre of the circle .

There is a beautiful logical relation exists between arc length and the angle , the arc makes ( subtends ) at the centre of the circle . This relation is as under , the wholle circle subtends an angle of 360 degree at the centre . Half the circumference subtendr 360 / 2 ie 180 degree at the centre . The logical relation becomes Arc Length = Circumference × angle in degrees it ( the arc ) subtends at the centre of the circle / 360 degree . So the answer is very simple :- The Arc Length = 36 × 90 / 360 or 9 units ( may be centimetres or metres or inches , feet , yards , etc ) . Which is definitely length of the minor arc . The length of the major arc ( remaining portion of the circumstance ) is 36 - 9 = 27 units . Hence the required answer of the sum is 9 units .
