Scores on the Wechsler intelligence quotient (IQ) test are normally distributed with a mean score of 100 and a standard deviatio

n of 15 points. The US military has minimum enlistment standards at about an IQ score of 85. There have been two experiments with lowering this to 80 but in both cases these recruits could not master soldiering well enough to justify the costs. Based on IQ scores only, what percentage of the population does not meet US military enlistment standards?

15.87% of the population does not meet the minimum standards.

We use z-scores to find this probability:

z=(X-μ)/σ = (85-100)/15 = -15/15 = -1

Using a z-table (http://www.-table.com) we see that the area to the left of, less than, this is 0.1587.  This is 15.87%.

For this problem, we can say that corresponding angles are congruent, or the same, this also means that their angle measures have to be the same. Then, our equations for our angles will be vertical angles, which means that they must equal each other. So we would then write our equation as 3x+20=4x+10 or 4x+10=3x+20. Then, to combine like terms, we will subtract 3x from both sides, resulting in x+10=20. Then we will subtract 10 from both sides, resulting in x=10.

The perimeter of a rectangular park is 300 feet. The length of the park is 50 feet longer than the width.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

85 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

P=2L+2W where L is the length and W is the width. If the length is 50 feet longer than the width, we can write the expression L=50+W. Substituting into P=2L+2W we get P=2(50+W)+2W=100+2W+2W=100+4W. Since P=300, we can say 300=100+4W. Subtracting 100 from each side we get 200=4W. Dividing each side by 4 gives 50=W. Substituting this into L=50+W gives L=50+35=85. The length is 85 feet.

2<br> 3(9x - 6) = 4x + 10<br> What is the value of X In the equation
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

23(9x-6) = 4x +10            

207x - 138 = 4x +10

203x = 148                                                    

x = 148/203

 or  

3(9x-6) = 4x +10

27x -18 = 4x + 10

   27x - 4x = 10 + 18

          23x = 28

x= 28/23
