For a given IQ test, an individual is considered a genius if their score falls more than three standard deviations from the mean

ki77a [65]

Answer:

$P(Z>3) = 1-P(Z$

So then the probability that an individual present and IQ higher than 3 deviation from the mean is 0.00135

And if we find the number of individuals that can be considered as genius we got: 0.00135*1500=2.025

And we can say that the answer is a.2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

2) Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the IQ scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(\mu=?,\sigma=?)$

We are interested on this probability

$P(X>X+3\mu)$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

And we can find the following probablity:

$P(Z>3) = 1-P(Z$

So then the probability that an individual present and IQ higher than 3 deviation from the mean is 0.00135

And if we find the number of individuals that can be considered as genius we got: 0.00135*1500=2.025

And we can say that the answer is a/2.0

What are the solutions to the following system?

bija089 [108]

The solutions are $(\sqrt{2},-1) \text { and }(-\sqrt{2},-1)$ .

Solution:

Given equation:

$-2 x^{2}+y=-5$

Add $2 x^{2}$ on both sides.

$-2 x^{2}+y+2 x^{2}=-5+2 x^{2}$

$y=-5+2 x^{2}$ -------- (1)

$y=-3 x^{2}+5$ (given) -------- (2)

Equate (1) and (2).

$-5+2 x^{2}=-3 x^{2}+5$

Add $3 x^{2}$ on both sides.

$-5+2 x^{2}+3 x^{2}=-3 x^{2}+5 +3 x^{2}$

$-5+5x^{2}=5$

Add 5 on both sides.

$-5+5x^{2}+5=5+5$

$5x^{2}=10$

Divide by 5 on both sides, we get

$x^{2}=2$

Taking square root on both sides, we get

$x=\sqrt{2}, x=-\sqrt{2}$

Substitute $x=\sqrt{2}$ in (1).

$y=-5+2(\sqrt{2})^2$

$y=-5+4$

$y=-1$

Substitute $x=-\sqrt{2}$ in (1).

$y=-5+2(-\sqrt{2})^2$

$y=-5+4$

$y=-1$

Therefore the solutions are $(\sqrt{2},-1) \text { and }(-\sqrt{2},-1)$ .

Option C is the correct answer.
