Complete question is;

Scores of an IQ test have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 13. Use the empirical rule to determine the following.

​(a) What percentage of people has an IQ score between 87 and 113​?

​(b) What percentage of people has an IQ score less than 74 or greater than 126​? ​

(c) What percentage of people has an IQ score greater than 139​?

Answer:

A) 68% of the people had an IQ score between 87 and 113

B) 5% of the people had IQ scores less than 74 and greater than 126.

C) 0.15% had an IQ score greater than 139

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Mean; x¯ = 100

Standard deviation; σ = 13

According to the empirical rule in statistics;

>> 68% of the data lies within one standard deviation of the mean

>> 95% of the data lies within two standard deviations of the mean

>> 99.7% of the data lies within three standard deviations

A) We want to find the percentage of people with an IQ score between 87 and 113.

Within one standard deviation, we have;

x¯ ± σ

>> (100 - 13), (100 + 13)

>> (87, 113) which is the range we are looking for.

Thus, 68% of the people had an IQ score between 87 and 113

B) we want to find percentage of people has an IQ score less than 74 or greater than 126.

Let's first find those who had between 74 and 126.

Let's use two standard deviations within the mean.

x¯ ± 2σ

>> (100 - (2×13)), (100 + (2×13))

>> (74, 126) which is the range we are looking for.

So percentage that have IQ scores between 74 and 126 is 95%

Thus;

Percentage of those who had less than 74 and greater than 126 is;

P = 1 - 95%

P = 5%

C) we want to find the percentage of people that had an IQ score greater than 139.

Let's use the z-score formula;

z = (x¯ - μ)/σ

z = (139 - 100)/13

z = 39/13

z = 3

This means it is 3 standard deviations above the mean.

Thus;

Since it's one side outside the mean, then;

Percentage of people with an IQ score greater than 139 = (1 - 99.7%)/2 = 0.3%/2 = 0.15%

Answer:

(x,y) =(-4,-3) --- Vertex

x = -4 --- Axis of symmetry

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = -6(x + 4)^2 - 3

Solving (a): The vertex

For an equation written in

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

The vertex is:

(x,y) = (h,k)

By comparison:

y = a(x - h)^2 + k  and y = -6(x + 4)^2 - 3

-h =4       k = -3

h =-4         k = -3  

So, the vertex is:

(x,y) =(-4,-3)

Solving (b): The axis of symmetry

For an equation written in

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

The axis of symmetry is:

x = h

In (a):

h =-4

So:

x = -4

The bread is on sale for $1.50 so Erica is also going to buy candy or gum. Which can she afford?
Alborosie
Ok, so she started off with $5.00. 


She bought milk for $2.99.

She buys bread, which costs $1.50. 

Subtracting the money she wasted, the total would be $0.51. 

The only thing she could buy is 5 pieces of gum for 25 cents. 

Her change will be $0.26. 

Hope this helps!
