So we are given the mean and the s.d.. The mean is 100 and the sd is 15 and we are trying the select a random person who has an I.Q. of over 126. So our first step is to use our z-score equation:

z = x - mean/s.d.

where x is our I.Q. we are looking for

So we plug in our numbers and we get:

126-100/15 = 1.73333

Next we look at our z-score table for our P-value and I got 0.9582

Since we are looking for a person who has an I.Q. higher than 126, we do 1 - P. So we get

1 - 0.9582 = 0.0418

Since they are asking for the probability, we multiply our P-value by 100, and we get 

0.0418 * 100 = 4.18%

And our answer is

4.18% that a randomly selected person has an I.Q. above 126
Hopes this helps!

<h3>Answer:  3. Postulate</h3>

A postulate is something that is assumed to be true and there isn't a proof for it as its something foundational to help set up further proofs later down the road. Another example of a postulate is that a line is defined by two distinct points.

Clare volunteers at a local library during the summer. Her work includes putting labels on 750 books. How many minutes will she
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

75 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that Clare will not take a break throughout the session

10 books=1 minute

750 books= x minutes

Cross multiplying to find the value of x

10x books=750 books minutes

Making x the subject

x=750 books minutes/(10 books)

x=75 minutes

This translates to 1 hours and 15 minutes

Therefore, Clare will require 75 minutes
