Probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ less than 137 is 0.9452

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

<u>Step 1: </u>

Sketch the curve.

The probability that X<137 is equal to the blue area under the curve.

<u>Step 2: </u>

Since μ=105 and σ=20 we have:

P ( X<137 )=P ( X−μ<137−105 )= P(X−μ/ σ< 137−105/20 )

Since x−μ/σ=Z and 137−105/20=1.6 we have:

P (X<137)=P (Z<1.6)

<u>Step 3: </u>

Use the standard normal table to conclude that:

P (Z<1.6)=0.9452

∴ probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ less than 137 is 0.9452.

The front of a tent is an equilateral triangle with the ratio of its base, b, to its height, h, given by b/h=2/√ 3 . Which equat
Agata [3.3K]
Picturing the tent helps, but we can actually solve this question using simple algebra and no knowledge of triangles. 
The key is this function:
(b/h) = 2/√3  
We want to get h by itself. First, multiply both sides by h:
b = h(2/√3)       Now multiply both sides by the reciprical, (√3/2)
(√3/2) b = h

Therefore, the answer is C) h= b(√3/2)

En una ciudad se registró una temperatura de 12°c bajo cero a las 3:00 am si a las 7:00am del mismo dia la temperatura era tres
hjlf

Answer:

24°c

Step-by-step explanation:

Cuando se dice que la temperatura esta "mayor" significaria que esta aumentando y entorno subiendo a ser mas caliente. Siendo este el caso, si la temperatura a las 3:00 estaba a 12c bajo cero entonces a las 7:00 estaria a 24c. Esto es por que un aumento de tres vecesseria un aumento de 36 grados (12*3). 12c grados bajo cero seria un numero negativo y si sumamos estos numeros nos daria 24c grados.

-12 + 36 = 24

For each figure answer the following questions
Rudiy27

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC by AA similarity

  b) ED/AB = 3/4

  c) 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Two angles in each triangle are the same, so the AA similarity postulate can be used to declare the ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC. (Each triangle includes a right angle and angle C.)

__

b) Corresponding sides are ED/AB, DC/BC, EC/AC. The ratio of corresponding sides is ED/BC = (12 cm)/(16 cm) = 3/4.

__

c) Using the ratios identified above, we have ...

  DC/BC = 3/4 = x/(20 cm)

  x = 3/4(20 cm)

  x = 15 cm
