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!!!

write a function that transforms f(x)=2^3+4 in the following way: stretch vertically by a factor of 6 and shift 5 units left.
maksim [4K]

Answer:

f(x) = 2x3 + 4

Stretch vertically be a factor of 2:

f(x) = 2*2x3 + 4 = 4x3 + 4

Shift 5 units to the left:

f(x) = 4(x+5)3 + 4

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

There are 1084 pupils in that school.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 542 girls and boys then you would have to double 542 to get the total number of people. So, there are 1084 people in that school.

Hope this helps!
