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.

Find the surface area of the pyramid shown to the nearest whole number.

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option A</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a pyramid =

area of base + area of triangular faces

Since it's a square based pyramid

It's surface area is

area of base + 4( area of one triangular face)

Since the square has equal sides

<u>For square base </u>

Area of a square = l²

where l is the length

From the question l = 5

So we have

Area of square base = 5² = 25ft²

<u>For one of the triangular face</u>

Area of a triangle = ½ × base × height

base = 5

height = 6

Area = ½ × 5 × 6 = 15ft²

So the surface area of the pyramid is

25 + 4(15)

= 25 + 60

We have the final answer as

<h3>Surface area = 85 ft²</h3>

Hope this helps you

A business buys a computer for $3,000. After 4 years the value of the computer is expected to be $250. The value, v, can be rela

yuradex [85]

You are given two points in the linear function. At time 0 years, the value is $3000. At time 4 years, the value is $250. This means you have points (0, 3000) and (4, 250). You need to find the equation of the line that passes through those two points.

y = mx + b

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (3000 - 250)/(0 - 4) = 2750/(-4) = -687.5

Use point (0, 3000).

3000 = -687.5(0) + b

b = 3000

The equation is

y = -687.5x + 3000

Since we are using points (t, v) instead of (x, y), we have:

v = -687.5t + 3000

Answer: d. v = -687.50 t + 3,000

Evaluate the following double integral where a = 2y

Keith_Richards [23]

Change the order of integration.

$\displaystyle \int_0^1 \int_{2y}^2 \cos(x^2) \, dx \, dy = \int_0^2 \int_0^{x/2} \cos(x^2) \, dy \, dx \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \int_0^2 \cos(x^2) y \bigg|_{y=0}^{y=x/2} \, dx \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \frac12 \int_0^2 x \cos(x^2) \, dx$

Substitute $u=x^2$ and $du=2x\,dx$ .

$\displaystyle \frac12 \int_0^2 x \cos(x^2) \, dx = \frac14 \int_0^4 \cos(u) \, du = \frac14 \sin(u) \bigg|_{u=0}^{u=4} = \boxed{\frac{\sin(4)}4}$
