Answer: 0.0793

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the IQ of the educated adults be X then;

Assume X follows a normal distribution with mean 118 and standard deviation of 20.

This is a sampling question with sample size, n =200

To find the probability that the sample mean IQ is greater than 120:

P(X > 120) = 1 - P(X < 120)

Standardize the mean IQ using the sampling formula : Z = (X - μ) / σ/sqrt n

Where;  X = sample mean IQ; μ =population mean IQ; σ = population standard deviation and n = sample size

Therefore, P(X>120) = 1 - P(Z < (120 - 118)/20/sqrt 200)

                                 = 1 - P(Z< 1.41)

The P(Z<1.41) can then be obtained from the Z tables and the value is 0.9207

Thus; P(X< 120) = 1 - 0.9207

                          = 0.0793

Answer:

Median for sample 1 = 142

Median for sample 2 = 134

Step-by-step explanation:

For Sample 1:

For finding median, the data is first arranged into ascending or descending order. We are arranging the data in ascending order.

120, 130, 132, 136, 139, 142, 142, 144, 156, 165, 167

The formula for calculating the term which will be median is:

Median= ((n+1)/2)

Here in sample 1, n=11

So, putting n=11 in the formula

= ((11+1)/2)

= (12/2)

=6th term

The sixth term is 142, so

Median of sample 1=142

For Sample 2:

For finding median, the data is first arranged into ascending or descending order. We are arranging the data in ascending order.

112, 112, 113, 114, 125, 134, 141, 145, 146, 163, 165

The formula for calculating the term which will be median is:

Median= ((n+1)/2)

Here in sample 2, n=11

So, putting n=11 in the formula

=((11+1)/2)

=(12/2)

=6th term

The sixth term is 134, so

Median of sample 2=134

A tree DOUBLES in height each year until it reached its maximum height over the course of 10 years. How many years did it take f
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

9 years

the tree doubles in height

we can make a model

1 x 2 = 2

2 x 2 = 4

4 x 2 = 8

8 x 2 = 16

16 x 2 = 32

32 x 2 = 64

64 x 2 = 128

128 x 2 = 256

256 x 2 = 512

512 x 2 = 1024

Let's say 1024 is the maximum height

half the maximum height is 1024 x 0.5 = 512 so it will take 9 years because it reached 512 on the 9th year
