Answer:

P [  1689  ≤   X  ≤  2267 ]  = 54,88 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Distribution

Mean        μ₀  =  1730

Standard Deviation      σ  = 257

We need to calculate  z scores for the values   1689     and      2267

We apply formula for z scores

z =  ( X -  μ₀ ) /σ

X = 1689     then

z = (1689 - 1730)/ 257      ⇒ z = - 41 / 257

z  = -  0.1595

And from z table we get  for  z =  - 0,1595

We have to interpolate

        - 0,15          0,4364

        - 0,16          0,4325

Δ  =   0.01           0.0039

0,1595  -  0,15  =  0.0095

By rule of three

0,01                  0,0039

0,0095                 x ??      x  =  0.0037

And    0,4364  -  0.0037  = 0,4327

Then    P [ X ≤ 1689 ]  =  0.4327     or    P [ X ≤ 1689 ]  = 43,27 %

And for the upper limit  2267  z  score will be

z  =  ( X - 1730 ) / 257       ⇒  z =  537 / 257

z  =  2.0894

Now from z table   we find  for score   2.0894

We interpolate and assume  0.9815

P [ X ≤ 2267 ]  =  0,9815

Ths vale already contains th value of   P [ X ≤ 1689 ]  =  0.4327

Then we subtract  to get    0,9815  -  0,4327   = 0,5488

Finally

P [ 1689  ≤   X  ≤  2267 ]  =  0,5488  or  P [  1689  ≤   X  ≤  2267 ]  = 54,88 %

Find the slope of the line that passes through (1,6) and (4,4)
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

y=-2/3x+20/3

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(4-6)/(4-1)

m=-2/3

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-6=-2/3(x-1)

y=-2/3x+2/3+6

y=-2/3x+2/3+18/3

y=-2/3x+20/3

What is the equation of the line?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

A) y = -1/2x + 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the y-intercept(when x = 0), which is 1/2.

Find the slope: m = y2-y1 / x2-x1

I used points: (3, -1), (-3,2)

m = 2 - (-1) / -3 - 3

m = 3 / - 6

m = -1/2

plug this into the slope intercept form equation: y = mx + b

y = -1/2x + 1/2
