<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
We have to find the rate of change between (-3,6) (0,-3)
<em><u>The rate of change is given as:</u></em>
From given,
<em><u>Substituting the values we get,</u></em>
Thus rate of change is -3
suppose the people have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 177 lb and a standard deviation of 26 lb.
Find the probability that if a person is randomly selected, his weight will be greater than 174 pounds?
Assume that weights of people are normally distributed with a mean of 177 lb and a standard deviation of 26 lb.
Mean = 177
standard deviation = 26
We find z-score using given mean and standard deviation
z =
=
=-0.11538
Probability (z>-0.11538) = 1 - 0.4562 (use normal distribution table)
= 0.5438
P(weight will be greater than 174 lb) = 0.5438
