Given equations are;<span>
2a + 3b = -1   ..................equation 1
3a + 5b = -2  ....................equation 2</span>

Now multiply equation 1 with (-3)

The equation will be;

-6a -9b = 3 …………………..equation 3

Now multiply equation 2 with (2)

The equation will be;

6a + 10b = -4 ……………..equation 4

Now add equation 3 and equation 4

-6a – 9b = 3

<span>6a  + 10b = -4</span>

<span>------------------------------</span>

0a + b = -1

b = -1

Now put the value of b in equation 1

2a + 3(-1) = -1

2a -3 = -1

2a = -1+3

2a = 2

a=1

Thus the solution is (a,b) = (1,-1)

When Carson runs the 400 meter dash, his finishing times are normally distributed with a mean of 63 seconds and a standard devia
Gnom [1K]

Answer: in 95% of races, his finishing time will be between 62 and 64 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule states that for a normal distribution, nearly all of the data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean . The empirical rule is further illustrated below

68% of data falls within the first standard deviation from the mean.

95% fall within two standard deviations.

99.7% fall within three standard deviations.

From the information given, the mean is 63 seconds and the standard deviation is 5 seconds.

2 standard deviations = 2 × 0.5 = 1

63 - 1 = 62 seconds

63 + 1 = 64 seconds

Therefore, in 95% of races, his finishing time will be between 62 and 64 seconds.
