The correct Answer is:
To find the average IQ of all the aliens on Planet X, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the proportions of Zorgs and Weebs We know that \( \frac{2}{3} \) of the aliens are Zorgs and the remaining \( \frac{1}{3} \) are Weebs. ### Step 2: Identify the average IQs - The average IQ of Zorgs is 120. - The average IQ of Weebs is 180. ### Step 3: Calculate the total IQ contribution from Zorgs To find the total IQ contribution from Zorgs, we can multiply their proportion by their average IQ: \[ \text{Total IQ from Zorgs} = \left(\frac{2}{3}\right) \times 120 = 80 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the total IQ contribution from Weebs Similarly, we can calculate the total IQ contribution from Weebs: \[ \text{Total IQ from Weebs} = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right) \times 180 = 60 \] ### Step 5: Add the total IQ contributions Now, we add the total IQ contributions from both Zorgs and Weebs: \[ \text{Total IQ} = 80 + 60 = 140 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the average IQ of all aliens Since we are considering the average IQ of all aliens, we need to divide the total IQ by the total proportion: \[ \text{Average IQ} = \text{Total IQ} = 140 \] Thus, the average IQ of all the aliens on Planet X is **140**. ---
