Answer:

Equation ----> 2(c - 40)

c = -40

Step-by-step explanation:

2(c - 40)

= (2c) - (80)

= 2c - 80

= $\frac{2c}{2}$ + $(\frac{-80}{2})$

c = -40

Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that there is an approximately 0% probability that the total number of candies Kelly will receive this year is smaller than last year.

Normal Probability Distribution

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

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

It 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, which is the percentile of X.
By the Central Limit Theorem, for n instances of a normal variable, the mean is $n\mu$ while the standard deviation is $s = \sigma\sqrt{n}$ .

In this problem:

Mean of 4 candies, hence $\mu = 4$ .
Standard deviation of 1.5 candies, hence $\sigma = 1.5$ .
She visited 35 houses, hence $n = 35, \mu = 35(4) = 140, s = 1.5\sqrt{4} = 3$
