2x+3y= 12

To solve for the x intercept, y=0

2x+3(0)= 12

2x= 12

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2x= 12/2x

X= 6

So:(6,0)

To solve for y intercept, x=0

2(0)+3y= 12

3y= 12

Divide both sides by 3

3y/3y= 12/3

Y= 4

So: (0,4)

2x + 3y = 12
2x - 2x + 3y = 12 - 2x
3y = 12 - 2x
3 3
y = 4 - 2/3x
2x + 3(4 - 2/3x) = 12
2x + 12 - 2x = 12
2x - 2x + 12 = 12
0x + 12 = 12
 -12 -12
 0x = 0
 0 0
 x = 0
2(0) + 3y = 12
0 + 3y = 12
-0 -0 
 3y = 12
 3 3
 y = 4
(x, y) = (0, 4)

A set of city temperatures in April are normally distributed with a mean of 19.7 degrees Celsius and a standard deviation of 2 d

Sati [7]

Answer:

19.77% of average city temperatures are higher than that of Cairo

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 19.7, \sigma = 2$
