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

Yuri [45]

Answer:

(a) 68% of people has an IQ score between 87 and 113.

(b) 5% of people has an IQ score less than 74 or greater than 126.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:Scores of an IQ test have a bell-shaped distribution,

mean = 100

standard deviation = 13

According to the empirical rule

68% data lies between $\overline{x}-\sigma$ and $\overline{x}+\sigma$ .

95% data lies between $\overline{x}-2\sigma$ and $\overline{x}+2\sigma$ .

99.7% data lies between $\overline{x}-3\sigma$ and $\overline{x}+3\sigma$ .

(a)

$\overline{x}-\sigma=100-13=87$

$\overline{x}+\sigma=100+13=113$

$[\overline{x}-\sigma,\overline{x}+\sigma]=[87,113]$

Using empirical rule we can say that 68% of people has an IQ score between 87 and 113.

(b)

$\overline{x}-2\sigma=100-2(13)=74$

$\overline{x}+2\sigma=100+2(13)=126$

$[\overline{x}-2\sigma,\overline{x}+2\sigma]=[74,126]$

Using empirical rule we can say that 95% of people has an IQ score between 74 and 126.

The percentage of people has an IQ score less than 74 or greater than 126 is

P = 1- percent of people has an IQ score between 74 and 126.

P = 1- 95%

P = 5%

Therefore 5% of people has an IQ score less than 74 or greater than 126.

(c)

$\overline{x}-3\sigma=100-3(13)=61$

$\overline{x}+3\sigma=100+3(13)=139$

$[\overline{x}-3\sigma,\overline{x}+3\sigma]=[61,139]$

Using empirical rule we can say that 99.7% of people has an IQ score between 61 and 139.

The percentage of people has an IQ score less than 61 or greater than 139 is

P = 1- percent of people has an IQ score between 61 and 139.

P = 1- 99.7%

P = 0.3%

The percentage of people has an IQ score greater than 139 is

$P=\frac{1}{2}(0.3\%)=0.15\%$

Therefore 0.15% of people has an IQ score greater than 139.

Which proportion could be used to solve

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Cups of carrot needed for 9 servings = 4.5 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

A recipe for sesame chicken calls for cup of chopped carrots

recipe 2 is for 4 servings

That is

2 cups of carrot = 4 servings

2 : 4

= 1 : 2

1 cup of carrot = 2 servings

how many cups of

carrots are needed for 9 servings?

Let x= number of carrot needed for 9 servings

1 : 2 = x : 9

1 /2 = x/ 9

Cross product

1*9 = 2*x

9=2x

Divide both sides by 2

9/2 = x

x= 4.5 Or 4 1/2

Perform the indicated operation. X^3+43-49x-7x^2 divides by x^2-49

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The quotient is: x-7

and remainder is : -300

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to divide $X^3+43-49x-7x^2$ by $x^2-49$

First arrange the term $X^3+43-49x-7x^2$ in terms of ascending order of x.

Arranging we get:

$x^3 - 7x^2 -49x + 43$ \ $x^2-49$

The division steps are shown in figure attached.

The quotient is: x-7

and remainder is : -300
