Answer:

47.06% of the population has an IQ between 85 and 105.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 100, \sigma = 15

What percent of the population has an IQ between 85 and 105?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 105 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 85. So

X = 105

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{105 - 100}{15}

Z = 0.33

Z = 0.33 has a pvalue of 0.6293.

X = 85

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{85 - 100}{15}

Z = -1

Z = -1 has a pvalue of 0.1587

So 0.6293 - 0.1587 = 0.4706 = 47.06% of the population has an IQ between 85 and 105.

Answer: See the attached image below for the dot plot

==============================================

Explanation:

The list

{50, 45, 24, 28, 27, 38, 21, 22, 23, 42, 41, 35, 37, 25, 43}

sorts to

{21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 35, 37, 38, 41, 42, 43, 45, 50}

Draw out a number line. Make sure to go as far down to 21 and as high as 50.

Then plot dots above the numbers 21, 22, 23,24,25,27,28, etc. Each item in the sorted list will get a dot overhead. In this case, there are no repeated items, so each stack is 1 dot high.

See the diagram below.

You may need to click on the magnifying glass if the diagram is either too small or distorted.

  • Center =(h,k) = (0,2.25)
  • Radius = r = \frac{14}{13}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have following equation : x^{2}+(y-2.25)^{2} = \dfrac{196}{169}

We need to find the center & radius of this circle . Let's find out:

We know that , Equation of a circle is given by :

⇒ (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2   ........(1)

Here , (h,k) are the co-ordinates of center & r is the radius of circle.Collectively called as a circle with radius r and center at (h,k) . Let's frame given equation in question :

⇒  x^{2}+(y-2.25)^{2} = \frac{196}{169}

⇒  (x-0)^{2}+(y-2.25)^{2} = (\frac{14}{13})^2

On comparing this equation with equation (1) we get :

  • Center =(h,k) = (0,2.25)
  • Radius = r = \frac{14}{13}
