(a) P(X > 95) = 63.1%

(b) P(X < 125) = 95.2%

(d) 697.2 people would have an IQ greater than 140.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that IQ is normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.

Let X = IQ level of a person

So, X ~ N( $\mu=100,\sigma^{2} = 15^{2}$ )

The z score probability distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation

(a) Probability that this person has an IQ greater than 95 is given by = P(X > 95)

P(X > 95) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{95 - 100}{15}$ ) = P(Z > -0.33) = P(Z < 0.33) = 0.631 or 63.1%

(b) Probability that this person has an IQ less than 125 is given by = P(X < 125)

P(X < 125) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{125 - 100}{15}$ ) = P(Z < 1.67) = 0.9525 or 95.2%

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation

n = sample size = 700

So, Probability of people that have an IQ less than 110 = P(X < 110)

P(X < 110) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{110 - 100}{15}$ ) = P(Z < 0.67) = 0.7475 or 74.75%

Now, people having an IQ less than 110 in a sample of 700 = 74.75% of 700

= $\frac{74.75}{100} \times 700$ = 523.25

Therefore, 523.25 people would have an IQ less than 110.

(d) Probability of people that have an IQ greater than 140 = P(X > 140)

P(X > 140) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{140 - 100}{15}$ ) = P(Z > 2.67) = 0.9962 or 99.6%

Now, people having an IQ greater than 140 in a sample of 700 = 99.6% of 700

= $\frac{99.6}{100} \times 700$ = 697.2

Therefore, 697.2 people would have an IQ greater than 140.

2 and 1.

step-by-step explanation:

plug in each answer. 0 doesn't work, 1 does. so does 2. 4 doesn't:

0 = 1 is not true.

2 = 2 is true.

4 = 4 is true.

8 = 16 is not true.

hope this !
