We will use Binomial Distribution in this case.

Since the coin is tossed 15 times. N which is the number of trails will be 15.

P = Probability of heads

Q = Probability of tails

X = No. heads occurring in each toss.

So, now we have to find the probability for exactly 10 heads.

P(x = 10) = C(15, 10) P^x Q^N-x

C(15, 10) (1/2)^10 (1/2)^5 = 0.0916

Answer:

  11.9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relation between the side opposite the angle (BC) and the hypotenuse (14 cm).

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(58°) = BC/(14 cm)

  BC = (14 cm)×sin(58°) . . . . . multiply by the denominator

  BC ≈ 11.9 cm

Suppose that IQ scores have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 95 and a standard deviation of 15. Using the empirical rul
professor190 [17]

Answer:

2.5% of IQ scores are no more than 65

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 95

Standard deviation = 15

Using the empirical rule, what percentage of IQ scores are no more than 65?

65 = 95 - 2*15

So 65 is two standard deviations below the mean.

By the Empirical Rule, 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean. Of those 5% which are not, 2.5% are more than 2 standard deviations above the mean and 2.5% are more than 2 standard deviations below the mean.

So 2.5% of IQ scores are no more than 65
