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.

A study was conducted to determine whether magnets were effective in treating pain. The values represent measurements of pain us
amm1812

Answer:

Given:

Sham: n= 20,     x=0.44,   s=1.24,

Magnet:n= 20,  x =0.49,   s= 0.95

For Sham:

Sample size, n = 20

Sample mean = 0.44

Standard deviation = 1.24

For Magnet:

Sample size = 20

Sample mean = 0.49

Standard deviation = 0.95

The null and alternative hypotheses:

H0: s1²=s2²

H1: s1² ≠ s2²

a) To find the test statistics, use the formula:

\frac{s1^2}{s2^2}

\frac{1.24^2}{0.95^2} = \frac{1.5376}{0.9025} = 1.7037

Test statistics = 1.7037

b) P-value:

Sham: degrees of freedom = n - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19

Magnet: degrees of freedom = n - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19

The critical values:

[Za/2, df1, df2)], [(1 - Za/2), df1, df2]

f[0.05/2, 19, 19], f[(1 - 0.05/2), 19, 19]

f[0.025, 19, 19], f[0.975, 19, 19]

(2.526, 0.3958)

The rejection region:

Reject H0, if  F < 0.3958 or if F > 2.526

c) Conclusion:

Since the critical values of test statistic is between (0.3958 < 1.7037 < 2.526), we fail to reject null hypothesis H0.

There is insufficient evidence to to support the claim that those given a sham treatment have reductions that vary more than those treated with magnets

DENIUS [597]
So assuming that youmeans there were 35 MORE rose plants than sunflower seeds, then

Rose:Sunflower =8:3

rose=sunflower+35
therefor

8 units=rose
3 units=sunflowers

rose-35=sunflower
8unit-35=3unit
5unit-35=0
5unit=35
therefor
35=5unit
divide by 5
7=1unit


so 8 units of roses

7 times 8=56

3 units of sunflowers
3 times 7=21

rose=56
sunflower=21
