keeping in mind that parallel lines have the same exact slope, then hmmmm what is the slope of 2x+5y = 3 anyway?

$\bf 2x+5y=3\implies 5y=-2x+3\implies y=\cfrac{-2x+3}{5} \\\\\\ y=\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{2}{5}}x+\cfrac{3}{5}\impliedby \textit{slope-intercept form}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -2/5 and runs through 2, -3,

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})\qquad \qquad \qquad slope = m\implies -\cfrac{2}{5} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-3)=-\cfrac{2}{5}(x-2) \\\\\\ y+3=-\cfrac{2}{5}x+\cfrac{4}{5}\implies y=-\cfrac{2}{5}x+\cfrac{4}{5}-3\implies y=-\cfrac{2}{5}x-\cfrac{11}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed(bell-shaped) 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 problem, we have that:

$\mu = 101, \sigma = 15$
