Answer:

4.05% probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ greater than 123.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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 question, we have that:

\mu = 96, \sigma = 15.7

Probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ greater than 123.4.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 123.4. So

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

Z = \frac{123.4 - 96}{15.7}

Z = 1.745

Z = 1.745 has a pvalue of 0.9595

1 - 0.9595 = 0.0405

4.05% probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ greater than 123.4.

4/5 divided by 1/3 plus 1/5 minus 3/5
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

  \frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}

Solution Steps:

\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}

as

\mathrm{Combine\:the\:fractions\:}\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}:\quad -\frac{2}{5}

so

=\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}}    

\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a}=\frac{b}{c\:\cdot \:a}

=\frac{4}{5\left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}\right)}

join  \frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}:\quad -\frac{1}{15}

so

=\frac{4}{5\left(-\frac{1}{15}\right)}

\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a

=\frac{4}{-5\cdot \frac{1}{15}}

\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{-b}=-\frac{a}{b}

=-\frac{4}{5\cdot \frac{1}{15}}

\mathrm{Multiply\:}5\cdot \frac{1}{15}\::\quad \frac{1}{3}

so

=-\frac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}

\mathrm{Simplify}\:\frac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}:\quad \frac{12}{1}

so

=-\frac{12}{1}

\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\frac{a}{1}=a

=-12

Therefore

                  \frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}=-12
