Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of mu equals 105μ=105 and a standard deviation sigma equals 20σ=20. Find the probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ between 8989 and 121121.

57.62% probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ between 89 and 121.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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.

In this question, we have that:

Find the probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ between 89 and 121.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 121 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 89. So

X = 121

has a pvalue of 0.7881

X = 89

has a pvalue of 0.2119

0.7881 - 0.2119 = 0.5762

57.62% probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ between 89 and 121.

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.
