The 70th percentile is the same as the cutoff recovery time t such that every point above this time falls in the longest 30%, i.e.

\mathbb P(X>t)=0.30

Transform to the standard normal distribution:

\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-5.9}{2.5}>\dfrac{t-5.9}{2.5}\right)=\mathbb P(Z>t^*)

where t^* is the z-score corresponding to the cutoff time t, which is approximately t^*\approx0.5244. Solve for t:

t^*\approx0.5244=\dfrac{t-5.9}{2.5}\implies t\approx7.21\text{ days}

State the equation of the line in y = mx + b form.
gtnhenbr [62]
Your slope is wrong! Your slope is going to be 3/2, or C for the first problem. Your y intercept is wrong! Your Y- intercept is actually (0, -1.3) or B for the second problem.
Your equation is going to be
y= 3/2x-1.3

Someone please help me with this geometry proof question ASAP!
vivado [14]

Answer:

if ∠Q=∠R

draw an angular bisector from P to QR in which it intersect wit Qr at point S

now we have two triangle : QPS and RSP

in which angle : QPS=RPS ( PS is angular bisector)

and we have angle Q and angle R are equal

and PS is common side

this makes triangle QPS and RSP are congruent by AAS(angle angle side)

which also means that pQ=PR ( proved)
