Answer:

a. 1,300 gallons

b. 1,500 gallons

c. 1,700 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

Mean = 1500 gallons

And, the Standard deviation = 200 gallons

Based on the above information as we know that

68 percent, 95 percent and 99.7 percent of data values are within 1 , 2 and 3 standard mean deviations, as per the empirical law.

The middle of 68% is the standard deviation mean that 68% lies within 1

68% lies within 1 standard deviation mean the middle 68% is between

= 1500 - 200

= 1,300 gallons

And

= 1500 + 200

= 1,700 gallons

Now

= \frac{100 - 68}{2}\\

= 16

Hence, bottom 16% is lower 1300 gallons

Now

Top 16% is upward 1700 gallons, i.e

= 100 - 16

= 84%

This bottom values are underneath 1700

So based on the above explanation

a) 16th percentile = 1,300 gallons

b) Median is

Since it is a Mean of symmetric mound shaped.  

Therefore,  Median is 1,500 gallons

c) 84th percentile is 1,700 gallons

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

(x, y) = (-3, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the given value of y into the equation and solve for x.

... 7·2 +3x = 5

... 3x = -9 . . . . . . subtract 14

... x = -3 . . . . . . . divide by the x-coefficient

The solution (x, y) is (-3, 2).
