Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of 95.9 and a standard deviation of 16.4. Find the f

ollowing probabilities. Round your answers to three decimal places; add trailing zeros as needed. The probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ greater than 122.6 is 0.052 . The probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ lower than 92.0 is 0.413 . The probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ between 80.0 and 110.0 is 0.639 .

Answer:

a) The probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ greater than 122.6 is 0.052.

b) The probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ lower than 92.0 is 0.405.

c) The probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ between 80.0 and 110.0 is 0.639.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a normal distribution problem with

Mean = μ = 95.9

Standard deviation = σ = 16.4

a) The probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ greater than 122.6

= P(x > 122.6)

We first normalize or standardize 122.6

The standardized score for any value is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z = (x - μ)/σ = (122.6 - 95.9)/16.4 = 1.63

To determine the required probability

P(x > 122.6) = P(z > 1.63)

We'll use data from the normal distribution table for these probabilities

P(x > 122.6) = P(z > 1.63) = 1 - P(z ≤ 1.63)

= 1 - 0.94845

= 0.05155 = 0.052 to 3 d.p

b) The probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ lower than 92.0 = P(x < 92)

We first normalize or standardize 92.0

z = (x - μ)/σ = (92 - 95.9)/16.4 = - 0.24

To determine the required probability

P(x < 92.0) = P(z < -0.24)

We'll use data from the normal distribution table for these probabilities

P(x < 92.0) = P(z < -0.24) = 0.40517 = 0.405 to 3 d.p

c) The probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ between 80.0 and 110.0.

P(80 ≤ x ≤ 110)

We first normalize or standardize 80.0 and 110.0

For 80.0

z = (x - μ)/σ = (80 - 95.9)/16.4 = - 0.97

For 110.0

z = (x - μ)/σ = (110 - 95.9)/16.4 = 0.86

The required probability

P(80 ≤ x ≤ 110) = P(-0.97 ≤ z ≤ 0.86)

We'll use data from the normal distribution table for these probabilities

(80 ≤ x ≤ 110) = P(-0.97 ≤ z ≤ 0.86)

= P(z ≤ 0.86) - P(z ≤ -0.97)

= 0.80511 - 0.16602

= 0.63909 = 0.639 to 3 d.p

Hope this Helps!!!

you go to a grocery store and buy a $2.50 bag of sugar and a sandwich for $1.75. The sales tax for your state is 7%. What is the
Rashid [163]

Answer: My guess is $4.55


Step-by-step explanation:

2.50 + 1.75 = 4.25 (This is the total of everything you bought)

4.25 x 0.07= 0.2975 (0.2975 is 7% of 4.25 but because this is money I will round it to <em>0.30</em>)

(0.30 is the tax so now add it to the original amount)

$4.25 + $0.30 = $4.55

Tickets to a school production cost $5 for a student ticket and $10 for an adult ticket. A total of 67 tickets were purchased at
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Keywords:

System of equations, variables, cost, tickets, adults, children.

For this case we must solve a system of equations with two variables represented by the tickets of students and adults of a school production.

We define the variables according to the given table:

a: Number of tickets sold to adults

c: Amount of tickets sold to children.

We then have the following system of equations:

A + c = 67

10a + 5c =440

From the first equation, we clear the value of the variable c:

C = 67 - a

Answer:

The value that could replace c in the table is:

C = 67 - a

Option C is the answer!

Hope it helped u if yes mark me BRAINLIEST!

Tysm! Plz
