The minimum score to join the genius society is 130.

What is the probability?

Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true.

Given

A genius society requires an IQ that is in the top 2% of the population in order to join.

If an IQ test has a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.

The top 2%, you have to have an IQ higher than 98% of the population (100% - 2%).

This is also known as the 98th percentile.

For this problem, you are given the probability and need to determine the raw score.

The closest probability is 0.97982 and that corresponds to a z-score of 2.05.

$\rm z - score=\dfrac{x-mean}{standard \ deviatiion}\\\\2.05=\dfrac{x-100}{15}\\\\x-100=15\times 2.05\\\\x-100=30.75\\\\x=100+30.75\\\\x=130.75$

Hence, the minimum score to join the genius society is 130.

Answer:

The area of rectangle BEFD is 180 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

After checking the figure given, we have the following information:

$AD = 15$ , $AB = 12$ , $BC = 15$ , $CD = 12$

By Pythagorean Theorem, we determine the length of the line segment BD:

$BD = \sqrt{AB^{2}+AD^{2}}$ (1)

$BD = \sqrt{12^{2}+15^{2}}$

$BD = 3\sqrt{41}$

In addition, we know the following characteristics of the rectangle BEFD:

$BD = EF$ , $EF = EC + CF$ , $BE = FD$ (2), (3), (4)

By Pythagorean Theorem:

$BC^{2} = BE^{2}+EC^{2}$ (5)

$CD^{2} = CF^{2}+DF^{2}$ (6)

By (3), (4), (5) and (6):

$BC^{2} = BE^{2} + EC^{2}$ (7)

$CD^{2} = (EF-EC)^{2} + BE^{2}$ (8)

By (7) in (8):

$CD^{2} = (EF-EC)^{2}+ (BC^{2}-EC^{2})$

$CD^{2} = EF^{2}-2\cdot EF\cdot EC + EC^{2}+BC^{2}-EC^{2}$

$CD^{2} = EF^{2}-2\cdot EF\cdot EC +BC^{2}$

Then, we clear $EC$ :

$2\cdot EF\cdot EC = EF^{2} + BC^{2} - CD^{2}$

$EC = \frac{EF^{2}+BC^{2}-CD^{2}}{2\cdot EF}$

If we know that $EF = 3\sqrt{41}$ , $BC = 15$ and $CD = 12$ , then the length of the segment $EC$ is:

$EC = \frac{75\sqrt{41}}{41}$

And the length of the line segment $CF$ is:

$CF = EF - EC$

$CF = 3\sqrt{41}-\frac{75\sqrt{41}}{41}$

$CF = \frac{48\sqrt{41}}{41}$

And the length of the line segment $DF$ is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

$FD = \sqrt{CD^{2}-CF^{2}}$

$FD = \sqrt{12^{2}-\left(\frac{48\sqrt{41}}{41} \right)^{2}}$

$FD = \frac{60\sqrt{41}}{41}$

And the area of the rectangle is determined by the following formula:

$A = FD\cdot EF$

$A = \left(\frac{60\sqrt{41}}{41} \right)\cdot (3\sqrt{41})$

$A = 180$

The area of rectangle BEFD is 180 square units.

Given ARWS = ATUV, find the values of x and y.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

x=11 degrees,y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given ΔRWS ≅ ΔTUV

Two triangle are said to be congruent to each other it they have exactly the same three sides and exactly the same three angles.

So, here RW = UT, WS = UV and SR = VT

⇒ 25 = 3y + 7

or, 3y = 25 - 7 = 18

or, y = 18/3 = 6

⇒ y = 6

In ΔTUV

By Angle Sum Property:

∠ TUV + ∠ UVT + ∠ UTV = 180°

or, 90° + 29°+ ∠ UTV = 180°

⇒∠ UTV = 180° - 119 = 61°

Now, by congruence rule: ∠ WRS = ∠ UTV

⇒ (8x - 27)° = 61°

or, 8x = 27° + 61° = 88°

or, x = 88/8 = 11°

⇒ x = 11°
