Answer:

Let the Width(W) =X feet

then Length(L) = (2X-3)feet

Area of the rectangle (A)=77 square feet

A = L× W

L×W=A

(2X-3) × X = 77

2X²- 3X =77

2X²-3X -77=0

Solving it using the factorization method

2X²-14X+11X-77=0

(2X²-14X)+(11X-77)=0

2X(X-7) + 11(X-7)=0

(2X+11)(X-7) =0

When 2X+11=0

X= -11/2

When X-7=0

X = 7

Therefore X= 7

Width = X feet

= 7feet

The width is 7feet

Length = (2X-3)feet

= (2×7) -3)feet

=(14-3)feet

=11feet

Suppose that IQ scores have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 95 and a standard deviation of 15. Using the empirical rul
professor190 [17]

Answer:

2.5% of IQ scores are no more than 65

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 95

Standard deviation = 15

Using the empirical rule, what percentage of IQ scores are no more than 65?

65 = 95 - 2*15

So 65 is two standard deviations below the mean.

By the Empirical Rule, 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean. Of those 5% which are not, 2.5% are more than 2 standard deviations above the mean and 2.5% are more than 2 standard deviations below the mean.

So 2.5% of IQ scores are no more than 65

The numbers are 26.5, 53 and 17.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

97=x+(x-9)+2x

97+9=4x

106/4=4x/4

x= 26.5

x-9 = 17.5

2x= 53
