<span>The answer is B.

The reason being is that in this option they have set both sides of the equation separately equal to y. Since they are equal to each other, they would both have to be equal to an unknown y. This would look like this.
y = 1/4x - 3
y = 1/2x + 8.

Then to remove the fractions in each, they multiplied by the denominator associated with x. So, you multiply the first equation by 4.
4y = x - 12.
Then they solve for the numerical value at the end.
4y - x = -12.

You can do the same with the second equation.
y = 1/2x + 8
2y = x + 16
2y - x = 16

These are now the two equations above. </span>

Answer:

3.84% of months would have a maximum temperature of 34 degrees or higher

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 29.9, \sigma = 2.31$
