The dimensions of the original rectangle 
length - L
width - W
area = L*W = LW
after the modification, new dimensions are
length increased by 30 % 
Length = L * 1.3 = 1.3L
Width = W * 0.6 = 0.6W
new area = 1.3L * 0.6W
                = 0.78LW
the percent decrease in area 
decrease % = (difference in area)/original area * 100
                    = (LW - 0.78LW)/LW * 100
                    = 0.22LW/LW * 100
                    = 22%
percent decrease is 22%

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
