Answer:

a) 95% of people has an IQ score between 76 and 124​.

b) 0.3% of people has an IQ score less than 64 or greater than 136​.

c) 0.15% of people has an IQ score greater than 136

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 = 100

Standard deviation = 12

​(a) What percentage of people has an IQ score between 76 and 124​? ​

76 = 100 - 2*12

124 = 100 + 2*12

So within 2 standard deviations of the mean, and the percentage is 95%.

(b) What percentage of people has an IQ score less than 64 or greater than 136​?

64 = 100 - 3*12

136 = 100 + 3*12

99.7% of people has scores between 64 and 136. So 100 - 99.7 = 0.3% of people has an IQ score less than 64 or greater than 136​.

​(c) What percentage of people has an IQ score greater than 136​?

0.3% of people has an IQ score less than 64 or greater than 136​.

Since the normal distribution is symmetric, 0.3%/2 = 0.15% are below 64 are 0.15% are above 136.

Suppose cos(x)= -1/3, where π/2 ≤ x ≤ π. What is the value of tan(2x). EDGE
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

\displaystyle \cos x = -\frac{1}{3}\text{ where } \pi /2 \leq x \leq \pi

And we want to find the value of tan(2<em>x</em>).

Note that since <em>x</em> is between π/2 and π, it is in QII.

In QII, cosine and tangent are negative and only sine is positive.

We can rewrite our expression as:

\displaystyle \tan(2x)=\frac{\sin(2x)}{\cos(2x)}

Using double angle identities:

\displaystyle  \tan(2x)=\frac{2\sin x\cos x}{\cos^2 x-\sin^2 x}

Since cosine relates the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse and we are given that cos(<em>x</em>) = -1/3, this means that our adjacent side is one and our hypotenuse is three (we can ignore the negative). Using this information, find the opposite side:

\displaystyle o=\sqrt{3^2-1^2}=\sqrt{8}=2\sqrt{2}

So, our adjacent side is 1, our opposite side is 2√2, and our hypotenuse is 3.

From the above information, substitute in appropriate values. And since <em>x</em> is in QII, cosine and tangent will be negative while sine will be positive. Hence:

<h2>\displaystyle  \tan(2x)=\frac{2(2\sqrt{2}/3)(-1/3)}{(-1/3)^2-(2\sqrt{2}/3)^2}</h2>

Simplify:

\displaystyle  \tan(2x)=\frac{-4\sqrt{2}/9}{(1/9)-(8/9)}

Evaluate:

\displaystyle  \tan(2x)=\frac{-4\sqrt{2}/9}{-7/9} = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{7}

The final answer is positive, so we can eliminate A and B.

We can simplify D to:

\displaystyle \frac{2\sqrt{8}}{7}=\frac{2(2\sqrt{2}}{7}=\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{7}

So, our answer is D.

Is 15 ft, 36 ft, 39 ft a right triangle?
Nina [5.8K]
Use the pythagoream theorem to check. a^2+b^2=c^2

a=15 b=36 c= 39

225+1296=1521

The equation is true so it is a right triangle.
