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.

What is the equation of the quadratic function represented by this table?
Schach [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a {(x - h)}^{2}  + k

vertex = (h \:  \:  \: k)

from the table

vertex = ( - 2 \:  \:  \: 4)

therefore

h =  - 2  \:  \: and \:  \: k = 4

y = a {(x  + 2)}^{2}  + 4

when x= 0, y = 3

3 = a {(2)}^{2}  + 4

3 = 4a + 4

a =  \frac{ - 1}{4}

therefore equation of the function

y =  -  \frac{1}{4}  {(x + 2)}^{2}  + 4

27% of the students in a school are in grade 6. This is 540 students. How many students are in the school?
Anettt [7]

There are a total of 2,000 students in the school.

1.) There are 540 students in the 6th grade. 540 is only 27% of students compared to the total. To find the total students in the whole school, we divide 540 by 27%.

2.) We first change 27% into a decimal by moving the point two times to the left. (Rule to change the percent into a decimal)

27% = .27

3.) Before we divide, we remove the decimal by moving the decimal two times to the right and so do we to 540.

.27 = 27

540. = 54000.

4.) Now we have 54000 divided by 27 which give us the answer of 2,000.

Hope this Helps!!!

Help please need this answer
fredd [130]

Answer:

(5,4) is the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = 14 --> y = -2x + 14

Substitute y = -2x + 14 into 3x - 2y = 7


3x - 2( -2x + 14) = 7

3x + 4x - 28 = 7

7x = 35

x = 5

y = -2(5) + 14

y = -10 + 14

y = 4
