Answer:

45 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Remark
  • There are only 2 choices for gender. So if the class is 60% girls, the there must be 100 - 60 = 40% for the boys.
  • But we are told that the boys are 30 in number.
  • Let x = the total number of students.

Solution

  • 40/100 * x = 30              Change the % to a decimal
  • 0.4 x = 30                       Divide both sides by 0.4
  • 0.4 x / 0.4 = 30 / 0.4      Do the division
  • x = 30/0.4
  • x = 75 students in total

Formula

Total of Boys and Girls = Number of boys + number of girls.

Givens

  • Total = 75
  • Number of boys = 30

Solution II

  • 75 = x + 30                 Subtract 30 from each side
  • 75 - 30 = x +30 - 30
  • 45 = x
  • There are 45 girls in the class.

some psychologists believe that a genius should be defined as anyone having an IQ over 140. If IQ scores are normally distribute
denis23 [38]

Answer:

61,239,550

Step-by-step explanation:

We let the random variable X denote the IQ scores. This would imply that X is normal with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 17. We proceed to determine the probability that an individual chosen at random from the population would be a genius, that is;

Pr( X>140)

The next step is to evaluate the z-score associated with the IQ score of 140 by standardizing the random variable X;

Pr(X>140)=Pr(Z>\frac{140-100}{17})=Pr(Z>2.3529)

The area to the right of 2.3529 will be the required probability. This area from the standard normal tables is 0.009314

From a population of 6,575,000,000 the number of geniuses would be;

6,575,000,000*0.009314 = 61,239,550

Answer:

4) reflexive property of congruence

5) SAS theorem

6) property of Congruent triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

In ΔXYZ, line YW ⊥ XZ

Also XW≅ZW

Now

4) by reflexive property of congruence that states that any line,object or figure is congruent to itself

hence YW≅YW

5) By SAS theorem that states that if the two corresponding sides and the angle between those sides of two triangles are congruent then the two triangles are said to be congruent.

Hence ΔWXY≅ΔWZY

6) By property of Congruent triangles that states that if two triangles are congruent then their corresponding sides are also congruent.

Hence XY≅ZY !
