Suppose that IQ scores have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 104

Answer:

68%

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule basically states that 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation from the mean, 95% of the data falls within two standard deviations from the mean, and 99.7% of the data falls within three standard deviations from the mean.

So to find the percentage of IQ scores between 70 and 138, you need to find how far each of these numbers is from the mean in terms of the standard deviation.

If you subtract the standard deviation from the mean, you receive 87, and if you add the standard deviation to the mean, you receive 121.

This means that both of these numbers are within one standard deviation from the mean meaning according to the empirical rule, that means 68% of the IQ scores are between 70 and 138.

good luck, i hope this helps :)

John leaves his home. He travels 5 blocks south and three blocks west. As the crow flies, how far is John from his home?

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

5.83 blocks away from his home

Step-by-step explanation:

If he travels 5 blocks south and 3 blocks west, the distance from his house considered along with the distances travelled gives a right angled triangle whose opposite side and adjacent sides are the distances travelled north and west.

The distance from his house after moving 3 blocks west is the hypotenuse side. As such, the distance may be computed using Pythagoras' theorem. Let the distance from his house be G

G^2 = 5^2 + 3^2

G^2 = 25 + 9

= 34

G = √34

=5.83

John is 5.83 blocks away from his home

How do I subtract decimals from whole numbers?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Just use long subtraction by expanding the decimal places of the whole number. This is done by adding a point, and enough zeros to it to match the number of decimal digits in the other number (digits after the decimal point).

12345678

i.e: 5 - 2.48374827, 2.48374827 has 8 decimal digits, so add 8 zeros after the point.

1 1 1 1 1 1 1

5.00000000

2.48374827

_______________

2.51625173

7 + 3 = 10, 7 + 2 + 1 = 10, 8 + 1 + 1= 10, 5 + 4 + 1 = 10, 2 + 7 + 1 = 10, 3 + 6 + 1 = 10, 1 + 8 + 1 = 10, 5 + 4 + 1 = 10, 2 + 2 + 1 = 5 : 5.00000000

This is basically borrowing a group of 10s which are the same as 1s in the next decimal place up.

For each digit except the first to the right, let 10 subtract that number from it and minus 1 since the 1 is carried over.

A bike store sells scooters at a 54% markup. If the store bought each scooter for $29.25, what is the resale price to the neares

7nadin3 [17]

The purchasing price of the store = $29.25.

They want to resale it at 54% markup of the purchasing price.

54% of 29.25 = 0.54 × 29.25.

On multiplying 0.54 and 29.25, we get 15.795.

Resale price = The purchasing price + Markup

= 29.25 + 15.795.

On adding 29.25 and 15.795, we get 45.045.

We can round it to 45 to the nearest dollar.

<h3>Therefore, the resale price to the nearest dollar is $45.</h3>
