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

Part 2: Use the information provided to write the vertex form equation of each parabola.
Serggg [28]

Answer:   1.  x = -2(y - 4)² + 1

                2.  x = -y² + 5

                3.  y = -5(x + 1)² + 2

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

Notes: The vertex formula of a parabola is x = a(y - k)² + h  or  y = a(x - h)² + k

  • (h, k) is the vertex
  • p is the distance from the vertex to the focus

    \bullet\quad a=\dfrac{1}{4p}

1)

\text{Vertex}=(1,4)\qquad \text{Focus}:\bigg(\dfrac{7}{8},4\bigg)\\\\\text{Given}: (h,k)=(1,4)\\\\\\p=focus-vertex=\dfrac{7}{8}-\dfrac{8}{8}=\dfrac{-1}{8}\\\\\\a=\dfrac{1}{4p}=\dfrac{1}{4(\frac{-1}{8})}=\dfrac{1}{-\frac{1}{2}}=-2

Now input a = -2 and (h, k) = (1, 4) into the equation x = a(y - k)² + h

x = -2(y - 4)² + 1

***********************************************************************************

2)

\text{Vertex}=(5,0)\qquad \text{Directrix}:x=\dfrac{21}{4}\\\\\text{Given}: (h,k)=(5,0)\\\\\\p=vertex-directrix=\dfrac{20}{4}-\dfrac{21}{4}=\dfrac{-1}{4}\\\\\\a=\dfrac{1}{4p}=\dfrac{1}{4(\frac{-1}{4})}=\dfrac{1}{-1}=-1

Now input a = -1 and (h, k) = (5, 0) into the equation x = a(y - k)² + h

x = -1(y - 0)² + 5    →    x = -y² + 5

***********************************************************************************

3)

\text{Vertex}=(-1,2)\qquad \text{Directrix}:y=\dfrac{41}{20}\\\\\text{Given}: (h,k)=(-1,2)\\\\\\p=vertex-directrix=\dfrac{40}{20}-\dfrac{41}{20}=\dfrac{-1}{20}\\\\\\a=\dfrac{1}{4p}=\dfrac{1}{4(\frac{-1}{20})}=\dfrac{1}{-\frac{1}{5}}=-5

Now input a = -5 and (h, k) = (-1, 2) into the equation y = a(x - h)² + k

y = -5(x + 1)² + 2
