Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

) Assuming speed of vehicles along a stretch of highway is normally distributed, the normal distribution formula would be applied. It is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

Where

x = speed of vehicles

u = mean speed

s = standard deviation

From the information given,

u = 75

s = 3.8

z = (62 - 75)/3.8 = - 3.42

2)the student performed better in the biology test because the spread of the scores is not wide and the student got just 1 below the mean.

3) Since the Intelligence quotients are normally distributed, the normal distribution formula would be applied. It is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

From the information given,

u = 100

s = 15

a) Below 90

z = (90 - 100)/15 = - 0.67

From the normal distribution table, the corresponding probability is

0.2514

b) Above 130

z = (130 - 100)/15 = 2

From the normal distribution table, the corresponding probability is

0.9773. Therefore,

P(x greater than 130) = 1 - 0.9773 = 0.0227

c) Between 90 and 130. The probability would be

0.9773 - 0.2514 = 0.7259
