8y = 23 + 3x divided by 8: divide ALL numbers by 8
8y/8 is y
23/8 is 23/8
3x/8 is 3/8x
Therefore, the answer would be;
y = 23/8 + 3/8x, which is the same as y = 3/8x + 23/8
Describe the sample space for this problem: 1200 students at a certain school, all with equal probability of being selected on a random draw.
Which outcome (or outcomes) of the sample space compose the event?
Sophie wins the bike. The chances that that will happen are 1/1200, or 0.00083...
SOLUTION
The mean is 4min
standard deviation is 1min
the z score is

where

then we have

The probability the call lasted less than 3 min will be
Therefore, the probability that (z < -1 ) is
[tex]\begin{gathered} Pr(z<-1)=Pr(0
Hence, the percentage of the calls that lasted less than 3 min is 16%
9/100 = x/90
Cross multiply to get 810 = 100x
Divide both sides by 100 to get x = 81 inches
