Answer:

(a) 68% of people has an IQ score between 87 and 113​.

(b) 5% of people has an IQ score less than 74 or greater than 126.

(c) 0.15% of people has an IQ score greater than 139​.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:Scores of an IQ test have a​ bell-shaped distribution,

mean = 100

standard deviation = 13

According to the empirical rule

68% data lies between \overline{x}-\sigma and \overline{x}+\sigma.

95% data lies between \overline{x}-2\sigma and \overline{x}+2\sigma.

99.7% data lies between \overline{x}-3\sigma and \overline{x}+3\sigma.

(a)

\overline{x}-\sigma=100-13=87

\overline{x}+\sigma=100+13=113

[\overline{x}-\sigma,\overline{x}+\sigma]=[87,113]

Using empirical rule we can say that 68% of people has an IQ score between 87 and 113​.

(b)

\overline{x}-2\sigma=100-2(13)=74

\overline{x}+2\sigma=100+2(13)=126

[\overline{x}-2\sigma,\overline{x}+2\sigma]=[74,126]

Using empirical rule we can say that 95% of people has an IQ score between 74 and 126​.

The percentage of people has an IQ score less than 74 or greater than 126 is

P = 1- percent of people has an IQ score between 74 and 126​.

P = 1- 95%

P = 5%

Therefore 5% of people has an IQ score less than 74 or greater than 126.

(c)

\overline{x}-3\sigma=100-3(13)=61

\overline{x}+3\sigma=100+3(13)=139

[\overline{x}-3\sigma,\overline{x}+3\sigma]=[61,139]

Using empirical rule we can say that 99.7% of people has an IQ score between 61 and 139​.

The percentage of people has an IQ score less than 61 or greater than 139 is

P = 1- percent of people has an IQ score between 61 and 139​.

P = 1- 99.7%

P = 0.3%

The percentage of people has an IQ score greater than 139​ is

P=\frac{1}{2}(0.3\%)=0.15\%

Therefore 0.15% of people has an IQ score greater than 139​.

Which expression is equivalent to a2 + 2a – 8?
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

(a+4)(a-2)=a^2+2a-8

a*a=a^2

a*(-2)=-2a

a*4=4a

4*(-2)=-8

a^2-2a+4a-8=a^2+2a-8

Find the value of x.
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum or interior angles of a triangle is 180,

6x + 19 + 5x - 15 + 3x - 6 = 180

6x + 5x + 3x + 19 - 15 - 6 = 180

14x + 19 - 21 = 180

14x - 2 = 180

14x = 180 + 2

14x = 182

x = 182 / 14

x = 13

Arrange the following polynomial into descending order for x, then interpret the degree of the 3rd term. 2xy4 + 2x2y − 3y2 + 10x
Darina [25.2K]
The arrangement should be based on the decreasing degree of the terms which may be determined by the variable x as it should come first in alphabetical order. The polynomial is then,
                         10x³ + 2x²y + 2xy^4 - 3y²
The degree is equal to the sum of the exponents. Thus, the answer is 5 and it is letter D.
