5 0

Answer:

x = -3+√5, -3-√5 (exact roots)

or x = -0.76, -5.24 to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 6x = - 4

Completing the square:

(x + 3)^2 - 9 = -4

(x + 3)^2 = 5

x + 3 = +/-√5

x = - 3 + √5, - 3 - √5

some psychologists believe that a genius should be defined as anyone having an IQ over 140. If IQ scores are normally distribute

Answer:

61,239,550

Step-by-step explanation:

We let the random variable X denote the IQ scores. This would imply that X is normal with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 17. We proceed to determine the probability that an individual chosen at random from the population would be a genius, that is;

Pr( X>140)

The next step is to evaluate the z-score associated with the IQ score of 140 by standardizing the random variable X;

$Pr(X>140)=Pr(Z>\frac{140-100}{17})=Pr(Z>2.3529)$
