(10 points)Assume IQs of adults in a certain country are normally distributed with mean 100 and SD 15. Suppose a president, vice president, and secretary of state are chosen randomly from the adults in the country, with each adult having an equal chance to be assigned each of the 3 jobs. What is the probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5 and that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0139 = 1.39% probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5 and that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to use the binomial and the normal probability distributions.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Probability the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5

IQs of adults in a certain country are normally distributed with mean 100 and SD 15, which means that [tex]\mu = 100, \sigma = 15[/tex]

This probability is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 107.5. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{107.5 - 100}{15}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.6915.

1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085

0.3085 probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5.

Probability that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.

First, we find the probability of a single person having an IQ of at least 130, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 130. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{130 - 100}{15}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9772.

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228.

Now, we find the probability of at least one person, from a set of 2, having an IQ of at least 130, which is found using the binomial distribution, with p = 0.0228 and n = 2, and we want:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.9772)^{2}.(0.0228)^{0} = 0.9549[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 0.0451[/tex]

0.0451 probability that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.

What is the probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5 and that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130?

0.3085 probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5.

0.0451 probability that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.

Independent events, so we multiply the probabilities.

0.3082*0.0451 = 0.0139

0.0139 = 1.39% probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5 and that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.

Rick used 4 2/3 yards of fabric to sew 3 1/2 shirts. What is the unit rate of cloth he used in terms of yards per shirt?

Answers

1 1/3 yards of fabric per shirt

Explanation:
Unit rate is a rate per 1

If you want to find the unit rate of yards per shirt, you do 4 2/3 divided by 3 1/2

Meanwhile if you want to find the unit rate of SHIRTS per yards of fabric, you do 3 1/2 divided by 4 2/3

IN THIS CASE, we will use the unit rate YARDS PER SHIRT:

4 2/3 ÷ 3 1/2
= 14/3 x 2/7
= 28/21
=1 1/3

A spinner is divided into 8 equal sections where 3 are black, 4 are yellow, and I is red. If it is spun randomly, what is the probability of it landing either on a yellow or a red section?

Answers

Given:

A spinner is divided into 8 equal sections  where 3 are black, 4 are yellow, and 1 is red.

To find:

The probability of it landing either on a yellow or a red section.

Solution:

We have,

Total number of sections = 8

Black sections = 3

Yellow sections = 4

Red sections = 1

Now,

Either yellow or red sections = 4 + 1

                                                = 5

Now, the probability of it landing either on a yellow or a red section is:

[tex]\text{Required probability}=\dfrac{\text{Either yellow or red sections}}{\text{Total number of sections}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Required probability}=\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex]

Therefore, the required probability is [tex]\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex].

(Simplify your answer completely. If no expression exists, enter DNE.) 6m(3m + 21) = 9 Given that m represents an integer, is 6m(3m + 21) divisible by 9?

Answers

Answer:

[tex](a)\ 6m(3m + 21) = 9(2m^2 + 14m)[/tex]

(b) Yes, it is divisible by 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]6m(3m + 21)[/tex]

Solving (a): Complete the blanks

[tex]6m(3m + 21) = 9 [\ ][/tex]

Expand the bracket

[tex]6m(3[m + 7]) = 9 [\ ][/tex]

[tex]6m*3(m + 7) = 9 [\ ][/tex]

Express 6m as 2m * 3

[tex]2m*3*3(m + 7) = 9 [\ ][/tex]

[tex]2m*9(m + 7) = 9 [\ ][/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]9 * 2m(m + 7) = 9 [\ ][/tex]

Multiply the bracket by 2m

[tex]9 * (2m^2 + 14m) = 9 [\ ][/tex]

Divide both sides by 9

[tex]2m^2 + 14m = [\ ][/tex]

Hence, the bracket will be filled with: [tex]2m^2 + 14m[/tex]

So:

[tex]6m(3m + 21) = 9(2m^2 + 14m)[/tex]

Solving (b): Is [tex]6m(3m + 21)[/tex] divisible by 9?

In (a), we have:

[tex]6m(3m + 21) = 9(2m^2 + 14m)[/tex]

The leading factor "9" implies that the expression is divisible by 9

of the 10 people attending a seminar, 5 have gray hair.
What is the probability that a randomly selected person will have gray hair?

Answers

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that there is a total of 10 people.

5 of these have grey hair.

To find the chances of a somone having grey hair, we need to divide people with grey hair over total people:

[tex]\frac{value}{total} =probability[/tex]

This is the same division we use to find things such as percentage and ratio as well.

Now lets plug in our numbers and solve:

[tex]\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

So half of the people have grey hair.

Or(in percentage):

The probability is 50% that someone will have grey hair.

Hope this hepls!

1536 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the lateral faces, calculate the height of a lateral face first.

The height of a lateral face = S

The blue triangle is right-angled, so we can use Pythagoras Theorem to find S.

[tex] \sqrt{ {h}^{2} + {0.5b}^{2} } [/tex]

[tex] = \sqrt{ {16}^{2} + {12}^{2} } [/tex]

[tex] = \sqrt{400} [/tex]

= 20 m

Total surface area of a pyramid

= total surface area of lateral faces + base area

Area of 1 lateral face

= (base × height) ÷ 2

= (24×20)÷2

= 240 m²

Total surface area of the pyramid

= 240×4 + 24×24

= 1536 m²

False Apollo did not live always free of care, though he was the most glorious of the gods. One day, in anger with the Cyclopes who work at the forges of Vulcan, he sent his arrows after them, to the wrath of all the gods, but especially of Zeus. Even the divine archer could not go unpunished, and as a penalty he was sent to serve some mortal for a year. Now there was a certain king in Thessaly, Admetus, and there came to him one day a stranger, who asked leave to serve about the palace. None knew his name, but he was very comely, and moreover, when they questioned him he said that he had come from a position of high trust. So without further delay they made him chief shepherd of the royal flocks. Every day thereafter, he drove his sheep to the banks of the river Amphrysus, and there he sat to watch them. The country folk that passed drew near to wonder at him. He would pipe for hours in the sun. A simple-spoken man he was, yet he seemed to know much more than he would say, and he smiled with a kindly mirth when the people wished him sunny weather. Indeed, as days went by, it seemed as if summer had come to stay, and, like the shepherd, found the place friendly. Nowhere else were the flocks so white and fair to see, like clouds loitering along a bright sky; sometimes, when he chose, their keeper sang to them. Then the grasshoppers drew near and the swans sailed close to the river banks, and the countrymen gathered about to hear wonderful tales of the slaying of the monster Python and of a lovely maiden, Daphne, who grew into a laurel tree. In time, the rumor of these things drew the king himself to listen; Admetus, who had been to see the world, knew at once that this was no earthly shepherd, but a god. From that day, like a true king, he treated his guest with reverence and friendliness, asking no questions; and the god was well pleased.8Which sentence best presents a theme from the passage?A.
