Answer:

4.4% of the population with IQ between 120 and 125.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 100

Standard Deviation, σ = 15

We are given that the distribution of IQ scores is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

a) Let X be a person's IQ score.

Then, density functions for IQ scores is given by:

$P(x) = \displaystyle\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-\frac{z^2}{2}}\\\\\text{where,}\\\\z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\P(x) = \displaystyle\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}}\\\\P(x) = \displaystyle\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-\frac{(x-100)^2}{450}}$

b) P(population with IQ between 120 and 125.)

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$P(120 \leq x \leq 125) = P(\displaystyle\frac{120 - 100}{15} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{125-100}{15}) = P(1.33 \leq z \leq 1.66)\\\\= P(z \leq 1.66) - P(z < 1.33)\\= 0.952 - 0.908 = 0.044 = 4.4\%$

$P(120 \leq x \leq 125) = 4.4\%$

Classify the following triangle

jek_recluse [69]

Acute-The angle is less than 90 degrees

Equilateral-All sides are equal in length

Isosceles-Two of the sides are equal in length

Scalene-None of the sides are equal in length

Right-The angle is 90 degrees

Obtuse-The angle is greater than 90 degrees

We can see that none of the sides are the same length, so we know that it must be scalene. We can also see that every angle is less than 90 degrees, so we know that is must be acute.

The triangle is scalene and acute.

Hope this helps!!

An Article a Florida newspaper reported on the topics that teenagers most want to discuss with their parents. The findings, the

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The estimate is $P__{hat}} \pm E = 0.37 \pm 0.0348$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 522

The sample proportion of students would like to talk about school is $\r p__{hat}} = 0.37$

Given that the confidence level is 90 % then the level of significance can be mathematically evaluated as

$\alpha = 100 - 90$

$\alpha = 10\%$

$\alpha = 0.10$

Next we obtain the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table, the value is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =Z_{\frac{0.10}{2} } = 1.645$

Generally the margin of error can be mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\r P_{hat}(1- \r P_{hat} )}{n } }$

=> $E = 1.645 * \sqrt{\frac{0.37 (1- 0.37 )}{522 } }$

=> $E = 0.0348$

Generally the estimate the proportion of all teenagers who want more family discussions about school at 90% confidence level is

$P__{hat}} \pm E$

substituting values

$0.37 \pm 0.0348$

Suppose that X has an exponential distribution with mean equal to 10. Determine the following: a. P(X > 10) b. P(X > 20) c

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

(a) The value of P (X > 10) is 0.3679.

(b) The value of P (X > 20) is 0.1353.

(d) The value of x is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability density function of an exponential distribution is:

$f(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x};\ x>0, \lambda>0$

The value of E (X) is 10.

The parameter λ is:

$\lambda=\frac{1}{E(X)}=\frac{1}{10}=0.10$

(a)

Compute the value of P (X > 10) as follows:

$P(X>10)=\int\limits^{\infty}_{10} {0.10 e^{-0.10 x}} \, dx \\=0.10\int\limits^{\infty}_{10} { e^{-0.10 x}} \, dx\\=0.10|\frac{e^{-0.10 x}}{-0.10} |^{\infty}_{10}\\=|e^{-0.10 x} |^{\infty}_{10}\\=e^{-0.10\times10}\\=0.3679$

Thus, the value of P (X > 10) is 0.3679.

(b)

Compute the value of P (X > 20) as follows:

$P(X>20)=\int\limits^{\infty}_{20} {0.10 e^{-0.10 x}} \, dx \\=0.10\int\limits^{\infty}_{20} { e^{-0.10 x}} \, dx\\=0.10|\frac{e^{-0.10 x}}{-0.10} |^{\infty}_{20}\\=|e^{-0.10 x} |^{\infty}_{20}\\=e^{-0.10\times20}\\=0.1353$
