Substitute any value for zero on the equation to find the x and y intercept in order to graph:
10x-3(0)=-15
10x=-15
/10x /10x
x=-1.5
Repeat for y:
10(0)-3y=-15
-3y=-15
/-3 /-3
y=5
Answer:
0.6563 or 65.63% of brook trout caught will be between 12 and 18 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean trout length (μ) = 14 inches
Standard deviation (σ) = 3 inches
The z-score for any given trout length 'X' is defined as:
e interval
For a length of X =12 inches:

According to a z-score table, a score of -0.6667 is equivalent to the 25.25th percentile of the distribution.
For a length of X =18 inches:

According to a z-score table, a score of 1.333 is equivalent to the 90.88th percentile of the distribution.
The proportion of trout caught between 12 and 18 inches, assuming a normal distribution, is the interval between the equivalent percentile of each length:

1, 1.84+2= 1.84+2.00=3.84
3, 0.90+2= 0.90+2.00 = 2.90
4, 0.5+5= 0.5+5.0=5.5
