Step-by-step explanation:

First find the z-score.

z = (x - μ) / σ

z = (132 - 100) / 20

z = 1.6

From a z-score table:

P(z<1.6) = 0.9452

So there's a 94.52% probability that a randomly selected adult will have an IQ less than 132.

Answer:

There is a 94.52% probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ less than 132.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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:

Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 20. This means that \mu = 100, \sigma = 20.

The probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ less than 132 is?

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 132. So:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{132 - 100}{20}

Z = 1.6

Z = 1.6 has a pvalue of 0.9452.

This means that there is a 94.52% probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ less than 132.

I need help with pythagoras’ theorem
fomenos

Answer:

Pythagoras’ theorem  is a way to find a side or hypothesis when you have 2 sides.  

The formula is:  a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a and b are sides

c is the hypothesis

<u>Ex:  A triangle has a leg that is 5 inches and a leg that is 7 inches.  Find the hypothesis using Pythagoras' theorem.  </u>

A leg is another way of saying a side.

5^2 + 7^2 = c^2

25 + 49 = x^2

sqrt(74) = sqrt(x^2)

sqrt(74) inches = hypothesis

<u>Ex:  A triangle has a leg that is 9 feet and a hypothesis that is 25 feet.  Find the other leg using Pythagoras' theorem. </u>

9^2 + b^2 = 25^2

81 + b^2 - 81 = 625 - 81

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(544)

b = sqrt(554)

How do you solve (2x-7)(5x+3)=0
sammy [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

First I do it as separate equations 2x-7=0 and 5x+3=0. In this equation you get two answers so you first answer 2x-7=0

2x-7=0

    +7   +7

2x=7

/2   /2

x=7/2

Then do 5x+3=0

                     -3  -3

                5x=-3

                    /5 /5

                x=  -3/5

Then you can check by putting them back in.
