IQ is normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Suppose one individual is randomly chosen. Find the probability that this person has an IQ greater than 95.  Write your answer in percent form. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent. (IQ greater than 95)= [a] % Suppose one individual is randomly chosen. Find the probability that this person has an IQ less than 125. Write your answer in percent form. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.

A group was tested for drugs. The table shows the results of the test along with actual drug use. Test Positive Test Negative Total Used Dugs 26 13 39 No Drug Use 25 189 214 Total 51 202 253 Let D = event “Used Drugs”, N = event “No Drug Use”, + be “Test positive”, and finally – be “Test negative”Round each answer to 4 decimal places. (D or +)= [a] (N and +) = [b] (N
