Answer:
2.28% probability that a person selected at random will have an IQ of 110 or greater
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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:

What is the probability that a person selected at random will have an IQ of 110 or greater?
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 110. So



has a pvalue of 0.9772
1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228
2.28% probability that a person selected at random will have an IQ of 110 or greater
This isn’t a question this is just a statement
Answer:
The highest total cholesterol level a man in this 35–44 age group can have and be in the lowest 10% is 160.59 milligrams per deciliter.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean

, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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:

Find the highest total cholesterol level a man in this 35–44 age group can have and be in the lowest 10%.
This is the 10th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.1. So X when Z = -1.28.




The highest total cholesterol level a man in this 35–44 age group can have and be in the lowest 10% is 160.59 milligrams per deciliter.
(x-5)(x+3)=0
x^2+3x-5x-15=0
(x^2+3x) (-5x-15)
x(x+3) -5(x+3)
x-5=0 x+3=0
