Assume that adults have iq scores that are normally distributed with a mean of mu equals 100 and a standard deviation sigma equals 15. find the probability that a randomly selected adult has an iq less than 130.

The probability would be 97.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find that, lets look at the amount of standard deviations away the amount given is. Since the number is 30 away from the mean, and the standard deviation is 15, we can find the total number of deviations it is away.

30/15 = 2

Now that we have that, we can look at the probability curve for standard deviations. Outside of 2 standard deviations above is only a 2.2% likelihood. Since that is the case, we can find the amount that would be under that as 100% minus the amount we just found.

100% - 2.2% = 97.8%

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
