Answer: The slope is $\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be calculated with the following formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Observe the graph provided in the exercise.

You can notice that these two points are on the line:

$(2,3)$ and $(7,6)$

Then you can identify that:

$y_2=3\\y_1=6\\\\x_2=2\\x_1=7$

Knowing these coordinates, you can substitute values into the formula for calculate the slope.

Then, you get that the slope of the graph is:

$m=\frac{3-6}{2-7}\\\\m=\frac{-3}{-5}\\\\m=\frac{3}{5}$

Answer:

The value is c = 21.1445.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The weight distribution of parcels sent in a certain manner is normal with mean value 12lb and standard deviation 3.5 lb.

This means that $\mu = 12, \sigma = 3.5$
