Answer:

0.03 is  the probability that for the sample mean IQ score is greater than 103.      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 100

Standard Deviation, σ = 16

Sample size, n = 100

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

Formula:

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

Standard error due to sampling =

\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{16}{\sqrt{100}} = 1.6

P( mean IQ score is greater than 103)

P(x > 103)

P( x > 103) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{103 - 100}{1.6}) = P(z > 1.875)

= 1 - P(z \leq 1.875)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 103) = 1 - 0.970 =0.03= 3\%

0.03 is  the probability that for the sample mean IQ score is greater than 103.

The area of a rectangle is 56 cm. The length is 2 cm more than x and the width is 5 cm less than twice x. Solve for x. Round to
Black_prince [1.1K]
 Length = x + 2  (because it is 2 cm more than x)
Width = 2x - 5   (5 cm lest than 2x)Area = 54 cm2  this is the formula to find the area Length × Width = Area (x + 2)(2x - 5) = 542x2 - x - 10 = 54   (this is you area)

  Subtract 54 on both sides of equation to make the right side zero. 2x2 - x - 64 = 0  then use the quadratic formula x = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac)) / 2a where:a = 2b = -1c = -64 Plug in these values into the formula. x = (1 ± √(1 - 4(-128))) / 4 x = (1 ± √(513)) / 4 x = (1 ± 22.65) / 4 x = (1 + 22.65) / 4          and          x = (1 - 22.65) / 4 x = 5.91                          and          x = -5.41  Check the validity of the x values by adding them to the length and width.  If the length or width should be a negative value, then that value of x is not acceptable. Now x = 5.91 Length = 5.91 + 2  (positive value.)Width = 2(5.91) - 5  ( positive value.) x = 5.91    If we look at this -- x = -5.41, Both length and width will be negative values. We reject this value of x.  The answer is x = 5.91
