Answer:

$y = 3x -18$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have this point given (5,-3) and we want to create an slope intercept formula given by:

$y = mx +b$

And this equation needs to be parallel to y= 3x-1 so then the slope needs to be equal m =3 and then we can use the point given to find the intercept b like this:

$-3 = 3*5 +b$

$b = 3-15=-18$

And the formula for the slope would be given by:

$y = 3x -18$

Answer:

At least 68% of observations lie between 22 and 26 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 24

Standard deviation = 2

22 = 24 - 2

22 is one standard deviation below the mean

26 = 24 + 2

26 is one standard deviation above the mean.

So, by the empirical rule, at least 68% of observations lie between 22 and 26 months.

I don’t really get this question so if anyone knows it please help

Answer:

$116.82\:\text{square inches}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The window consists of a large square and 4 smaller triangles on the outside. The side length of this square is marked as 10, and therefore the area of this square is $10^2=100\:\mathrm{in^2}$ .

The area of a triangle is given by $\frac{1}{2}\cdot b\cdot h$ . Since the problem states that the overlapping squares are congruent, both legs of the triangle will be $2.9$ and intersect at a $90^{\circ}$ angle.
