How do you calculate the odds of something?
If there were 10 sock in a basket and 2 were red and 8 were blue then the odds of getting a red sock is 2/10 which can be simplified to 1/5. This means that if you picked a sock from the basket 5 times (each time throwing it back) you would most likely get 1 red sock and 4 blue socks.
The odds of getting a blue sock is 8/10. This can be simplified to 4/5.
Basically you take the total and put it as the denominator. Then you take the total number of the object (in this case the socks) and put it as the numerator. Got it?
Hope this helped!! :)
This kind of problem is easier to solve if you assign arbitrary dates to what you are trying to figure out. For example, let's say that "Wednesday" was the 12th of December. We will start at the end of this problem and work backwards.
"The day that comes three days before Wednesday" would be the 9th, a Sunday.
"The day that comes two days after" this date would be the 11th, a Tuesday.
"The day that comes two days after" this date would be the 14th, a Thursday.
"Three days before" this date is the 11th, a Tuesday.
Is 136 a good IQ score for a 7 year old boy?
Measuring IQ at 10 is not necessarily and indicator of future IQ, but the change will not be that great.
With an IQ of 129 you are as good at thinking as the average college / university graduate holding a first degree. Well above average (IQ 100) but not brilliant or gifted.
What was Lee Harvey Oswald's IQ?
There is no answer to this question because there is no record of his IQ anywhere.

Surprisingly becoming a doctor has a lot less to do with intelligence as it does with motivation and a drive to succeed. Unless you have severe mental retardation, you are smart enough to become a doctor. If you really, really want to become a doctor you can, if you are willing to work hard as you possibly can for it. Intelligence does make it easier to become a doctor, if you aren't gifted intellectually, you will need to spend extra time studying, getting tutoring and you make take longer to get to where you want to be.
If someone you know is telling you you aren't smart enough to become a doctor don't listen to them! Einstein failed classes at school. The bitorrent method of filesharing was developed by a guy who has Autism. There are examples everywhere where people overcame their limitations because of hard work and dedication.
That all being said, there are alternatives to becoming a doctor if you decide for yourself that medical school is not where you want to go. One option is getting a DO (Doctor of Osteopathy) or DC (Doctor of Chiropractic) which are less competitive than MD programs. Another route would be nurse practitioner, a nurse who has additional training and can see patients on his or her own without supervision from a doctor (nurse practitioners are usually the people who staff drugstore health clinics and the like).
An IQ is an Intelligence Quotient. If your IQ falls between 100-129 you are average. If your IQ is below 70 you are mentally retarded.
What is physical growth and development?
the term growth refers to increase caused by becoming longer and heavier while development consists of progressive series of changes of an orderly, coherent type towards the goal of maturity. it is like an autistic grows but does not develop.
What is the Stanford-Binet intelligence scale used for?
is used as a tool in school placement, in determining the presence of a learning disability or a developmental delay, and in tracking intellectual development. is sometimes included in neuropsychological testing to assess the brain function
IQ is the your ability to solve a problem and there is no perfecet way
What is a good IQ website that gives you results on the website for free?

Can you make someone more intelligent?
If you believe in the effects of nurture over nature, you might try those methods. That would mean putting someone into new situations, showing them how to cope and then giving them independent practice in the skills needed. The question is always how closely the practice needs to reflect real life situations. For example, in Karate Kid, the boy used particular motions to wax the car as a means to practice the movements for karate. Would those skills be transferable to real karate and/or how much other training would he need? The example is physical motion, but it is pretty much the same story with other skills. The more you learn, the smarter you are.
Is it true that intelligence not marks is more important for placement?
I'm sure many people evey year hope against hope that this is true. I'm not sure that it is; there would be some case-by-case analysis to see if there is evidence of an applicant's worthiness. It is a little smug to assume that "My brainpower entitles me to placement". Evidence that a person will benefit from the program, and will perform well-- those are much more valuable than an IQ measure. There is a strong correlation between IQ and academic performance, but this does NOT mean that every person with a high IQ will perform well, or that they ought to be handed opportunities without an indication that they are driven to excel.
Answer The best predictor of someone's performance in school is that person's past performance in school. That is, if a person got superior marks last year in a variety of subjects, she is likely to obtain superior marks this year on a variety of subjects taken at the same school. There is virtually no disagreement with this reasoning among college admissions officers. Yet, colleges and universities continue to consider IQ in addition to, or even in some cases instead of, the grades earned in previous schooling. Why? Before we consider this question, it's worth noting that the results of IQ or intelligence tests, per se, are generally not used in admissions decisions. However, the scores on tests that are known to be related to IQ, or which are surrogates for IQ, certainly are considered. Tests such as the SAT, GRE, MAT, ACT, MCAT, GMAT, and LSAT -- used in the USA -- either are in their entirety highly correlated with IQ tests, or contain embedded IQ tests (usually some combination of verbal and numerical indexes). The same holds true of admissions tests used by many universities is Europe and Asia. So why is IQ used as an admission criterion, when almost everyone agrees that past performance (grades in school) predicts future performance (grades in school)? As it turns out, there is a big problem encountered by admissions officers when school grades alone are used to make admission decisions: the grades in one school, on given subjects, don't predict, as well as we'd like, the grades in another school. Some schools suffer from serious grade inflation, while in other schools, superior marks go to the top 5% of students. There are so many schools, and so many possible school-subject variations, that the predictive power of past grades is seriously compromised. One way to improve the ability to predict future academic performance would be to have a yardstick that can be used to compare students no matter where they went to school, and which is known to have some predictive power in its own right. Enter the college admissions exam, which we know is, or contains, a surrogate IQ test. Probably the best predictor of future academic performance available is an index that takes account of both past grades and academic talent (IQ, approximately). Most selective universities, the world over, use just such an index to rank incoming admission applications.
