IQ scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Mensa is an international society that has one and only one qualification for membership: a score in the top 2% on an IQ test. a. What IQ score should one have in order to be eligible for Mensa

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

130.81

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ,

where from the question:

x is the raw score = ?

μ is the population mean = 100

σ is the population standard deviation = 15

We are told in the question that:

Mensa is an international society that has one and only one qualification for membership: a score in the top 2% on an IQ test.

The top 2% means a score in the 98th percentile

The z score of the 98th percentile = 2.054

Hence:

2.054 = x - 100/15

Cross Multiply

2.054 × 15 = x - 100

30.81 = x - 100

x = 30.81 + 100

x = 130.81

The IQ score that one should have in order to be eligible for Mensa is the score of 130.81

When you get home to plant the flowers, you have 3 different flowerbeds in which you plan on planting flowers. You have two flowerbeds where you want the same ratio for tulips to daffodils. In one of these flowerbeds you have 6 tulips and 8 daffodils. The other flowerbed you have 4 daffodils.

How many tulips should there be in the second flowerbed to have the same ratio of tulips and daffodils as the first flower bed?


How many total daffodils are used in these two flowerbeds?

Answers

Answer:

3 tulips, 12 daffodils

Step-by-step explanation:

tulips to daffodils= 6:8=3:4

[tex]that \ 274 \ always \ stoc k \ up \ on \ a n \ item \ when \ they \ find \ that \ item \ at \ a \ real \ bargain \ price.[/tex]

Answer:

0.2762

Step-by-step explanation:

The point estimate is the best guess of the true parameter. It is an estimate of a population parameter and it is a single value of statistics.

The sample proportion [tex]\hat p[/tex] is the point estimate of the population proportion p

Given that

The sample mean = 274; &

The sample size = 992

Then,

The point estimate [tex]p = \dfrac{x}{n}[/tex]

[tex]p = \dfrac{274}{992}[/tex]

p = 0.2762

Which equation represents a line having a slop of 5/2 and a y intercept of (0,-4)?

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine whether each equation represents a linear or nonlinear function.

Answers

Equation       Linear      Non - linear

y = 2x³ + 1       No           Yes

y = 3x              Yes         No

y = x/5              Yes         No

What is a function?

function is a relationship between inputs where each input is related to exactly one output.

Example:

f(x) = 2x + 1

f(1) = 2 + 1 = 3

f(2) = 2 x 2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

The outputs of the functions are 3 and 5

The inputs of the function are 1 and 2.

We have,

y = 2x³ + 1

For x = 1, 2, 3,

y = 2 + 1 = 3

y = 2 x 2³ + 1 = 2 x 8 + 1 = 17

y = 2 x 3³ + 1 = 2 x 27 + 1 = 54 + 1 = 55

The rate of change.

Between 3 and 17 = 17 - 3 = 14

Between 17 and 55= 55 - 17 = 38

This means the equation is not linear.

y = 3x

For x = 1, 2, 3,

y = 3 x 1 = 3

y = 3 x 2 = 6

y = 3 x 3 = 9

The rate of change.

Between 3 and 6 = 6 - 3 = 3

Between 6 and 9 = 9 - 6 = 3

This means the equation is linear.

y = x/5

For x = 1, 2, 3,

y = 1/5

y = 2/5

y = 3/5

The rate of change.

Between 1/5 and 2/5 = 2/5 - 1/5 = 1/5

Between 2/5 and 3/5= 3/5 - 2/5 = 1/5

This means the equation is linear.

Thus,

y = 2x³ + 1 is a linear equation.

y = 3x is not a linear equation.

y = x/5 is a linear equation.

Find the percent change to the nearest whole percent. from 45 feet to 95 feet.

Answers

Answer:

211%

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percentage change between these two numbers we need to divide the end result from the initial starting point. Once we do this we need to multiply the product by 100 to get the percentage value.

95 / 45 = 2.11111

2.11111 * 100 = 211.11%

Finally, we can see that the percentage change from 45 ft. to 95 ft. is 211.11%. If we round this to the nearest whole percent it would be a change of 211%

In order to study the relationship between playing football and traumatic brain injuries, researchers placed accelerometers in the helmets of many high school football teams. Accelerometers measure the amount of hits that boys playing high school football absorb during a season. Suppose the average number of hits absorbed by a helmet during a season was 355 hits with a standard deviation of 80 hits. What is the probability on a randomly selected team of 48 players that the average number of head hits per player is between 340 and 360 hits

Answers

Answer:

56.96% probability on a randomly selected team of 48 players that the average number of head hits per player is between 340 and 360 hits

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a single player:

[tex]\mu = 355, \sigma = 80[/tex]

For the sample mean(of 48 playes).

[tex]n = 48, s = \frac{80}{\sqrt{48}} = 11.547[/tex]

What is the probability on a randomly selected team of 48 players that the average number of head hits per player is between 340 and 360 hits?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 360 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 340. So

X = 360

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{360 - 355}{11.547}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.43[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.43[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.6664

X = 340

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{340 - 355}{11.547}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.30[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.30[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0968

0.6664 - 0.0968 = 0.5696

56.96% probability on a randomly selected team of 48 players that the average number of head hits per player is between 340 and 360 hits
