A person must score in the upper of the population on an IQ test to qualify for membership in Mensa, the international high-IQ society. If IQ scores are normally distributed with a mean of and a standard deviation of , what score must a person have to qualify for Mensa (to whole number)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The person must score at least [tex]X = \mu + Z\sigma[/tex], in which Z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{p}{100}[/tex], considering p the upper percentage the person must score, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean IQ score for the population and [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In this question:

Mean [tex]\mu[/tex], standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex]

What score must a person have to qualify for Mensa?

Score of at least X, given by:

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

[tex]X - \mu = Z\sigma[/tex]

[tex]X = \mu + Z\sigma[/tex]

In which Z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{p}{100}[/tex], considering p the upper percentage the person must score.

Because the interest forms an exponential function. This means that the amount of interest earned in each period is increasing and should therefore be more than double.

Answers

Answer:

16 slices

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Number of pizzas ordered = 4

Number of slices per pizza = 4

If 4 pizzas are each sliced into 4 parts ; the we have :

Pizza 2 = 4 slices

Pizza 3 = 4 slices

Pizza 4 = 4 slices

Total slices = (4 +4 +4 +4) = 16 slices

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

[tex]CI = (-4.278, 0.478)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]n_1=n_2 = 18[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_1 = 12.7[/tex]    [tex]\bar x_2 = 14.6[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_1 = 3.2[/tex]    [tex]\sigma_2 = 3.8[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Solving (a): Test the hypothesis

We have:

[tex]H_o : \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0[/tex]

[tex]H_a : u1 - u2 \ne 0[/tex]

Calculate the pooled standard deviation

[tex]s_p = \sqrt\frac{(n_1-1)\sigma_1^2 + (n_2-1)\sigma_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2}}[/tex]

[tex]s_p = \sqrt\frac{(18-1)*3.2^2 + (18-1)*3.8^2}{18+18-2}}[/tex]

[tex]s_p = \sqrt\frac{419.56}{34}}[/tex]

[tex]s_p = \sqrt{12.34}[/tex]

[tex]s_p = 3.51[/tex]

Calculate test statistic

[tex]t = \frac{x_1 - x_2}{s_p*\sqrt{1/n_1 + 1/n_2}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{12.7 - 14.6}{3.51 *\sqrt{1/18 + 1/18}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{-1.9}{3.51 *\sqrt{1/9}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{-1.9}{3.51 *1/3}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{-1.9}{1.17}[/tex]

[tex]t = -1.62[/tex]

From the t table, the p value is:

[tex]p = 0.114472[/tex]

[tex]p > \alpha[/tex]

i.e.

[tex]0.114472 > 0.05[/tex]

So, the conclusion is that: we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

The confidence interval is calculated as:

[tex]CI = (12.7 - 14.6) \± 3.51 * 2.032244 * \sqrt{1/18 + 1/18}[/tex]

[tex]CI = (12.7 - 14.6) \± 3.51 * 2.032244 * \sqrt{1/9}[/tex]

[tex]CI = (12.7 - 14.6) \± 3.51 * 2.032244 * 1/3[/tex]

[tex]CI = -1.90 \± 2.378[/tex]

[tex]CI = (-1.90 - 2.378, -1.90 + 2.378)[/tex]

[tex]CI = (-4.278, 0.478)[/tex]

An open tank is to be constructed with a square base of side x metres with four rectangular sides. The tank is to have a capacity of 108m^3. Determine the least amount of sheet metal from which the tank can be made?

Answers

Answer:  roughly 151.81788 square meters of metal

=====================================================

Explanation:

The base is a square with side lengths x, so its area is x*x = x^2

Let h be the height of the tank. We have four identical wall panels that have area of xh square meters. The four walls lead to a lateral surface area of 4xh. Overall, the entire tank requires x^2+4xh square meters of metal. We're ignoring the top since the tank is open.

-----------

Let's set up a volume equation and then isolate h.

volume = length*width*height

108 = x*x*h

108 = x^2*h

x^2*h = 108

h = 108/(x^2)

-----------

Plug that into the expression we found at the end of the first section.

x^2+4xh

x^2+4x(180/(x^2))

x^2+(720/x)

------------

Depending on what class you're in, the next step here will vary. If you are in calculus, then use the derivative to determine that the local min happens at approximately (7.11379, 151.81788)

If you're not in calculus, then use your graphing calculator's "min" feature to locate the lowest point on the f(x) = x^2+(720/x) curve.

This lowest point tells us what x must be to make x^2+(720/x) to be as small as possible, where x > 0.

In this context, it means that if the square base has sides approximately 7.11379 meters, then you'll need roughly 151.81788 square meters of metal to form the open tank. This is the least amount of metal required to build such a tank, and that will have a volume of 108 cubic meters.

While eating your yummy pizza, you observe that the number of customers arriving to the pizza station follows a Poisson distribution with a rate of 18 customers per hour. What is the probability that more than 4 customers arrive in a 10 minute interval

Answers

Answer:

0.1848 = 18.48% probability that more than 4 customers arrive in a 10 minute interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

Rate of 18 customers per hour.

This is [tex]\mu = 18n[/tex], in which n is the number of hours.

10 minute interval:

An hour has 60 minutes, so this means that [tex]n = \frac{10}{60} = \frac{1}{6}[/tex], and thus [tex]\mu = 18\frac{1}{6} = 3[/tex]

What is the probability that more than 4 customers arrive in a 10 minute interval?

This is:

[tex]P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4)[/tex]

In which:

[tex]P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.2240[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.1680[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)[/tex] = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 + 0.2240 + 0.1680 = 0.8152[/tex]

And

[tex]P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4) = 1 - 0.8152 = 0.1848[/tex]

0.1848 = 18.48% probability that more than 4 customers arrive in a 10 minute interval.

Answers

Answer:

  Part A: 2 ft²

  Part B: draw a diagonal (AC, for example); 1 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula ...

  A = bh

where 'b' is the length of the base, and 'h' is the perpendicular distance between the bases.

Using the numbers shown on the diagram, the area is ...

  A = (3 ft)(2/3 ft) = 3·2/3 ft²

  A = 2 ft² . . . . . area of the parallelogram

__

Part B:

Typically, a polygon is partitioned into triangles by drawing diagonals from one of the vertices. It does not matter which one. (In a quadrilateral, only one diagonal can be drawn from any given vertex.) Here, the "base" of each triangle is the same as the base of the parallelogram: 3 feet. The "height" of each triangle is the same as the height of the parallelogram: 2/3 ft.

The area of a triangle is given by the formula ...

  A = 1/2bh

  A = 1/2(3 ft)(2/3 ft) = (1/2)(3)(2/3) ft²

  A = 1 ft² . . . . . . . . area of each triangle

Additional comment

It should be no surprise that the area of each of the two congruent triangles is 1/2 the area of the parallelogram.
