A coefficient is the quantity before a variable that multiplies the variable. For example, for $11x$ , 11 is the coefficient. For $x$ , 1 is the coefficient.

Here, there's a 10 in front of the x-term, a 5 in front of the first y-term, and a –8 in front of the second y-term. These are your coefficients, but your teacher may want you to simplify first. $10x+5y-8y=10x-3y$ . If this is the case, then the coefficients are 10 and –3.

The answer is 10, 5 and, -8, as the coefficient is the number in front of the variable.

The value of z score for the history class test of Opal’s test score is negative one (-1).

<h3>What is normally distributed data?</h3>

Normally distributed data is the distribution of probability which is symmetric about the mean.

The mean of the data is the average value of the given data. The standard deviation of the data is the half of the difference of the highest value and mean of the data set.

The z score for the normal distributed data can be given as,

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