Answer:

0.43% probability that the mean IQ score of 50 randomly selected people will be more than 23

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question:

\mu = 21.1, \sigma = 5.1, n = 50, s = \frac{5.1}{\sqrt{50}} = 0.7212

What is the probability that the mean IQ score of 50 randomly selected people will be more than 23

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 23. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{23 - 21.1}{0.7212}

Z = 2.63

Z = 2.63 has a pvalue of 0.9957

1 - 0.9957 = 0.0043

0.43% probability that the mean IQ score of 50 randomly selected people will be more than 23

Formula for the area of a quarter circle: A = (pi x r^2) / 4

A = (pi x 1^2) / 4

A = 1pi / 4

A = 0.79 square centimeters

Hope this helps! :)

Item 20 A rectangular school banner has a length of 54 inches and a width of 36 inches. A sign is made that is similar to the sc
siniylev [52]

Answer:

The ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign is <u>1944 cubic inches : 192.61 cubic inches.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A rectangular school banner has a length of 54 inches and a width of 36 inches. A sign is made that is similar to the school banner and has a length of 17 inches.

Now, to find the ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign.

Dimensions of school banner :

Length = 54 inches.

Width = 36 inches.

Dimension of school sign:

Length = 17 inches.

So, to we find the width of sign by using cross multiplication method:

Let the width be x.

So, 54 is equivalent to 36.

Thus, 17 is equivalent to x.

\frac{54}{36} =\frac{17}{x}

By cross multiplying we get:

54x=612

Dividing both sides by 54 we get:

x=11.33\ inches.

Thus, the width of sign = 11.33 inches.

Now, to get the ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign:

Area of the school banner : Area of the school sign.

= 54\times 36:17\times 11.33

= 1944:192.61

Therefore, the ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign is 1944 cubic inches : 192.61 cubic inches.

If angle 1 = 6n + 1 and angle 4 = 4n + 19, what is the angle 2?
kobusy [5.1K]
Angles 1 and 4 are alternate angles and thus have the same measurement. You will set their equations equal to each other and solve for the variable. 

6n + 1 = 4n + 19

Subtract 1 and 4n from both sides to get variables on one side and constants on the other. 

6n - 4n = 19 - 1

Combine like terms and solve for n.

2n = 18
n = 18 / 2
n = 9

Angles 1 and 2 are congruent as labeled in the graph. 

So angle 2 is also 6n + 1

Plug in for 9 for n

6(9) + 1
54 + 1
55

Option C is your answer.
