Answer:

1.35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that IQ scores have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 104 and a standard deviation of 15. Using the empirical rule, what ? Please do not round your answer.

Empirical rule formula states that:

95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ .

99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations from the mean - between μ - 3σ and μ + 3σ .

We don't know the number of Standard deviation yet , hence:

Mean = 104

Standard deviation = 15.

At least 59

Hence:

104 - 15x = 59

104 - 59 = 15x

45 = 15x

x = 45/15

x = 3

Hence, At least 59 is 3 standard deviations away from the mean on one side of the distribution thus,

99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations from the mean - between μ - 3σ and μ + 3σ .

100% - 99.7%

= 0.003

Since it is on one side of the distribution:

= 1.5% - 0.3%

= 0.015 - 0.0015

= 0.00135

Converting to percentage

= 1.35%

The percentage of IQ scores that are at least 59 is 1.35%

Find the integral, using techniques from this or the previous chapter.<br> ∫x(8-x)3/2 dx
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

\int x(8-x)^{3/2}dx= -\frac{16}{5} (8-x)^{\frac{5}{2}} +\frac{2}{7} (8-x)^{\frac{7}{2}} +C

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we need to find the following integral:

\int x(8-x)^{3/2}dx

And for this case we can use the substitution u = 8-x from here we see that du = -dx, and if we solve for x we got x = 8-u, so then we can rewrite the integral like this:

\int x(8-x)^{3/2}dx= \int (8-u) u^{3/2} (-du)

And if we distribute the exponents we have this:

\int x(8-x)^{3/2}dx= - \int 8 u^{3/2} + \int u^{5/2} du

Now we can do the integrals one by one:

\int x(8-x)^{3/2}dx= -8 \frac{u^{5/2}}{\frac{5}{2}} + \frac{u^{7/2}}{\frac{7}{2}} +C

And reordering the terms we have"

\int x(8-x)^{3/2}dx= -\frac{16}{5} u^{\frac{5}{2}} +\frac{2}{7} u^{\frac{7}{2}} +C

And rewriting in terms of x we got:

\int x(8-x)^{3/2}dx= -\frac{16}{5} (8-x)^{\frac{5}{2}} +\frac{2}{7} (8-x)^{\frac{7}{2}} +C

And that would be our final answer.

What is the quotient StartFraction 15 p Superscript negative 4 Baseline q Superscript negative 6 Baseline Over negative 20 p Sup
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

- \frac{3}{4} \times  \frac{p^{8} }{q^{3} }

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the quotient of the following division, \frac{15p^{-4}q^{-6} }{- 20p^{-12} q^{-3}}.

Now, \frac{15p^{-4}q^{-6} }{- 20p^{-12} q^{-3}}

= - \frac{3}{4} p^{[- 4 - (- 12)]} q^{[-6 - (- 3)]} {Since all the terms in the expression are in product form, so we can treat them separately}

{Since we know the property of exponent as \frac{a^{b} }{a^{c} } = a^{(b - c)}}

= - \frac{3}{4} p^{8} q^{-3}

= - \frac{3}{4} \times  \frac{p^{8} }{q^{3} } (Answer)

{Since we know, a^{-b} = \frac{1}{a^{b} }}

find the local and/or absolute extrema for the function over the specified domain. (Order your answers from smallest to largest
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Minimum 8 at x=0, Maximum value: 24 at x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Retrieving data from the original question:

f(x)=x^{2}+8\:over\:[-1,4]

1) Calculating the first derivative

f'(x)=2x

2) Now, let's work to find the critical points

Set this

2x=0\\x=0    

0, belongs to the interval. Plug it in the original function

f(0)=(0)^2+8\\f(0)=8

3)  Making a table x, f(x) then compare

x|  f(x)

-1 | f(-1)=9  

0 | f(0)=8   Minimum

4 | f(4)=24 Maximum

4) The absolute maximum value is 24 at x=4 and the absolute minimum value is 8 at x=0.

I need help! I forgot how to do this!! Please help!
Dovator [93]

First change the mixed fraction into an improper fraction

7 1/2 = 15/2

Next, change multiply 2 to both numerator and denominator

15 x 2 = 30

2 x 2 = 4

30/4

Each piece needs 3/4 of an inch. Divide 30 with 3

30/3 = 10

c) 10 pieces is your answer

hope this helps
