Answer: 95.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the time it takes people to read the book is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = the time it takes people to read the book.

µ = mean time

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 147 minutes

σ = 12 minutes

The probability that a person takes between 123 and 171 minutes to read the book is expressed as

P(123 ≤ x ≤ 171)

For x = 123,

z = (123 - 147)/12 = - 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.023

For x = 171,

z = (171 - 147)/12 = 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.98

Therefore,

P(123 ≤ x ≤ 171) = 0.98 - 0.023 = 0.957

The percentage of people that take between 123 and 171 minutes to read the book is

0.957 × 100 = 95.7%

A 1st degree polynomial function whose graph intercepts the y-axis at 8.
asambeis [7]

Your answer can be anything in the form y = mx+8 where you replace m with any real number.

You start with y = mx+b, and then replace the b with the y intercept 8.

The y intercept is where the polynomial crosses the y axis.

The value of m does not matter. So you could have y = 2x+8 or y = 3x+8 for instance. Replace m with whatever your favorite number is.

Which is a factor of 144 − 49x2?<br><br> 12 - 7x2<br> 72 – 7x2<br> 12 – 7x<br> 72 + 7x
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

(12-7x)

Step-by-step explanation:

144 − 49x²

by observation, we can see that 144 = 12² and 49 = 7²

hence we can rewrite the equation

144 − 49x²

= 12² - 7²x²

= 12² - (7x)²

recall that the expression x² - y² = (x+y)(x-y)

hence,

12² - (7x)²

= (12 + 7x)(12-7x)

(12-7x) appears in the expression above, hence 12 -7x is a factor
